After months of attacking New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mandani as a “communist," President Donald Trump now says the Democratic Socialist will be “a really great mayor” for his home city after a closed-door meeting at the White House.
Seated behind his desk in the Oval Office while Mamdani stood next to him during what became a half-hour love-fest between the two men on Friday, Trump told reporters he’d congratulated his hometown’s next chief executive and pledged to help him bring prices down for New Yorkers.
