New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani recently described his relationship with President Donald Trump as honest, direct, and productive. He said this during an interview with NBC, marking his first 100 days in office, just one day before Trump went on social media to criticize his latest policy proposal.
The proposal in question is a pied-a-terre tax on properties in New York City valued at over $5 million, targeting owners who do not primarily live in the city. Mamdani has been pushing for this alongside New York Governor Kathy Hochul, saying it could raise $500 million for the city. He plans to use those funds for priorities like expanding free child care.
