Trump and Mamdani met and fell in love...with a shared vision for New York City.

[PeaceWave]

Polar political opposites collided this morning and - remarkably - seemed to get along reasonably well.

Mamdani offered the following regarding Trump:

"Both President Trump and I, we are very clear about our positions and our views," Mamdani added as he stood next to Trump behind the Resolute Desk. "And what I really appreciate about the president is that the meeting we had focused not on places of disagreement — which there are, many — but [instead] focused on the shared purpose we have in serving New Yorkers."

For his part, Trump said the following regarding Mamdani:

"I met with a man who is a very rational person," Trump said. "Who really wants to see New York be great again. I think he can bring it back. … Will he bring it back greater than ever before? If he can, I’ll be out there cheering for him."

If these two can get along, perhaps there's hope for the rest of us not to tear each other apart.

1. Maybe they'll settle down together, buy a little house, have a couple kids or something...

This love affair won't last...

[PatSeg]

22. So I guess his affair with Kim Jong Un

must be over. I wonder if Mamdani will send him love letters like Kim did.

[PeaceWave]

23. Those "love letters" take on new meaning now that we've seen letters between Trump and Epstein.

[PatSeg]

24. Oh my god, what a disturbing thought!

[NoRethugFriends]

2. I'm sorry, but your naivete is overwhelming

[elleng]

3. Nothing remarkable; both in their 'new' roles.

[Deuxcents]

4. It is refreshing but I'm sure the new Mayor has met people like TSF before and knows to watch his back

[PeaceWave]

10. I had a somewhat opposite take on the situation. Regardless, YES, it is refreshing.

[Cha]

5. I don't buy it. Traitor is Still a Neo Nazi

Pedo Predator that kills Innocent People.. wanted to Keep People from Snap and Health Care.

So WTAF?

[newdeal2]

6. This is his position today

Mamdani is not even in office yet so there’s no open conflict right now.

The minute he feels threatened or belittled, Trump will send out vulgar messages like always.

[Cha]

7. Yeah, I know... Just wanted to get down

what Mamdani is shaking hands with. That doesn't go away.

[Deuxcents]

11. I think he knows he's shaking the hand of a snake who will strike on a whim.

[Cha]

12. Yes, and I wanted to acknowledge it.

And yesterday Threatening to "hang" these Congressional Vets...

Sen Elissa Slotkin, Sen. Mark Kelly, Rep. Jason Crow, Rep. Maggie Goodlander, Rep. Chris Deluzio and Rep. Chrissy Houlahan.

[Deuxcents]

13. Death threats already for Elise Slotkin but TSF has not taken any steps to tone down or back down.

Some on here commenting about the taming of the shrew kinda thing that happened today but that’s not the reality. Interesting times, to say the least

[PatSeg]

26. I was thinking the same thing

Trump can change is mind on a dime from day to day.

[msongs]

8. trump trying to steal some mojo from a winner who has not had to put out...yet

[SunImp]

9. Trump's not the only one doing that tho

[Mossfern]

21. Precisely!

Let's see what the future brings.

[ananda]

14. And this wins The Flying Fickle Finger of Fate Award for the entire year.

It's so bizarre I can hardly wrap
my head around it.

[PeaceWave]

19. Politics makes strange bedfellows.

[ananda]

20. This is way more than strange.

I just can't understand it at all.

When something goes completely off piste
like this, on both parts, I get confused.

I don't like things that make no sense whatsoever.

[PeaceWave]

31. It's been that way ever since Trump came down the escalator though...

Such a strange, seemingly contradictory group of people in orbit around Trump.

[ananda]

32. True. But not as surreal and mindbending as this.

I can't process it rationally at all.

[KentuckyWoman]

15. Mamdani is smart

He wants ICE and NG to stay the hell out of NYC. He wants federal support for the nearly 9 million people of the city if needed. . Get your pic taken. Say a few nice things that don't sell out your soul. Don't kiss the ring. It is not a big price to pay.

Will Mamdani get what he went for? Unlikely. I suspect he knows that. He's a smart man. Like the Democratic mayors and governors before him, Trump will step on him for the slightest made up reason. But no one can say he didn't try.

[Politicub]

16. I expected Mamdani to charm Trump

and that’s exactly what happened.

I suggest not overthinking it and extrapolating world peace is at hand.

[Danascot]

17. My theory is

trump mistook Mamdani for a billionaire Arab prince who executes people he disagrees with.

[mr715]

25. LOL

He certainly doesn't know Sunni from Shia

[allegorical oracle]

18. Classify that meeting as a "date"...predict they won't be going "steady."

[Irish_Dem]

27. The day we get along with a vicious, brutal psychopath mob boss, is the day we are totally sunk.

[FullySupportDems]

28. It just seems deliberately confusing, him and Mamdani

But I've never understood what's going on ever since he came down the escalator spouting lies, talking down Mexicans and sounding like an idiot.

[sheshe2]

29. Ummm...

Just days after making history as New York City’s first Muslim mayor-elect, Zohran Mamdani is now facing an unprecedented threat: the President of the United States wants to strip him of his citizenship.

The POTUS – who at the time called the mayor-elect a “nut job” – also echoed baseless claims that Mamdani is in the country unlawfully.

“Self-proclaimed New York City Communist, Zohran Mamdani, who is running for Mayor, will prove to be one of the best things to ever happen to our great Republican Party,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, according to CNBC. “He is going to have problems with Washington like no Mayor in the history of our once great City.”

“Remember, he needs the money from me, as President, in order to fulfill all of his fake communist promises. He won’t be getting any of it,” he ranted over Mamdani – a self-proclaimed democratic socialist, not communist.

30. Just stop.

[Jspur]

33. Trump is two face he can be very nice

to people to their face and then screw them over the next day. I wouldn't take much out of this meeting other than Trump was in awe of Mamdani since he's always in awe of people who are good looking and have charisma which Mamdani has both. Plus Trump needs some good publicity to distract people from all of his scandals and this serves as a good distraction for him.
