"President Donald Trump extolled the accuracy of what he called an old-fashioned word as he riffed about affordability and groceries during a chummy Oval Office meeting with New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. Trump has been fighting a battle over affordability since the Election Day bloodbath, insisting concerns over prices are a con job, and repeatedly claiming he's already solved the issue."
"MAMDANI: Look, I think that there are many things in our city where we have to own the responsibility of. It's things that existed long before the president was the president. And those are also part of the message of our campaign was to take on a broken politics of the past. And I ran against a number of candidates who represented different versions of that past."

Trump has repeatedly framed affordability concerns as a con and asserted that the issue is already solved since Election Day.

The meeting surprised observers because Trump had earlier derided Mamdani and labeled him a communist. Mamdani emphasized long-standing city problems, broken politics, and that many working people have been left behind, citing unaffordable transit costs.
