Trump says he’d live in New York under Mamdani’s administration
President Donald Trump and New York City’s Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani met Friday at the White House and focused more on their shared goals rather than their combustible differences.
As featured on
President Donald Trump has called New York City's Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani a "100% Communist Lunatic" and a "total nut job." Mamdani has called Trump's administration "authoritarian" and described himself as "Donald Trump's worst nightmare." But their first-ever meeting Friday at the White House focused more on their shared goals rather than their combustible differences. They discussed housing affordability and the cost of groceries and utilities. Mamdani successfully used frustration over inflation to get elected, just as the president did in the 2024 election. The president brushed aside Mamdani's criticisms of him over his administration's deportation raids and claims that Trump was behaving like a despot.
