'I've been called much worse:' Trump holds cordial first White House visit with Mamdani

President Donald Trump and New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani held what appeared to be a friendly meeting at the White House on Friday. “I think he is going to surprise some conservative people, actually, and some very liberal people,” Trump said. “He won’t surprise them because they already like him.” The tone marked a stark contrast from the campaign, when Trump had called Mamdani a communist and Mamdani had called the president a fascist. Mamdani was asked about those comments while standing next to the president in the Oval Office, and Trump stepped in to defend him. “I’ve been called much worse,” Trump said with a smile. Both leaders said their meeting focused on areas of agreement, including how to make New York City more affordable. “We had some interesting conversations, and some of his ideas really are the same ideas that I have,” Trump said. Mamdani appeared gracious toward the president, saying he wants to work with the federal government and noting that many of his voters also supported Trump. ------------------------------------- Join our newsletter at https://bit.ly/2q1tepr Follow us on Facebook:   / scrippsnews   Follow us on Twitter:   / scrippsnews   Follow us on Instagram:   / scrippsnews   Follow us on TikTok:   / scrippsnews
