President Trump and incoming New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani said they looked forward to working together in a remarkable scene at the White House.

What is happening?

In a particularly notable moment, the president said that “some of his ideas are really the same ideas that I have.” At another point, he added that “we agree on a lot more than I would have thought. I want him to do a great job, and we’ll help him do a great job.”

    “I expect to be helping him, not hurting him. A big help. Because I want New York City to be great. Look, I love New York City, it’s where I come from, I spent a lot of years there. … I think this mayor could do some things that are going to be really great.”

    NYC has a special place in this man’s shriveled heart, he’s been wanting validation and respect from it but never received it. Since he couldn’t get an ass-kisser in power, the next best thing is to try to make himself look good by helping Mamdani’s agenda.

    But honestly, if Mamdani proves that socialism works in NYC, I care about that a lot more than how much credit Trump will ultimately get from it.
