"I've never seen Trump this smitten before, the Late Night host said. This is a reminder: he doesn't work with a single cool person! He is surrounded by so many charmless goons that the first time he got to hang out with someone that had a little charisma, he swooned like he was on a date with the varsity quarterback."
"Meyers then trained on arguably the most surprising moment of the Oval Office meeting: when Trump interjected as Mamdani was asked about previously calling the president a fascist. That's OK, you can just say, Yes.' OK? It's easier it's easier than explaining it. I don't mind, Trump said while patting Mamdani on the arm. That is the flirtiest I've ever heard anyone say,"
Donald Trump met New York mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and displayed an unexpectedly friendly, almost smitten demeanor, including patting Mamdani on the arm and urging a simple response about prior criticism. Trump had previously derided Mamdani with harsh labels, yet during the Oval Office meeting he seemed pleased and disarmed by Mamdani's charisma and background. The encounter undercut previously amplified warnings from MAGA-aligned figures and softened the immediate impact of prior demonizing rhetoric. Commentators observed the contrast between Trump's warm behavior in that meeting and his usual entourages, while noting Trump has shifted tones before and could do so again.
