Trump And Mamdani Stun With Lovefest In the Oval Office: Can't Even Imagine MAGA Brain Right Now'

"(AP Photo/Evan Vucci) President Donald Trump's Oval Office meeting with New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani went so well that the two heaped stunning praise on each other during a subsequent presser, surprising just about everyone. Trump told reporters of Mamdani that some of his ideas are the same ideas I have as the two exchanged compliments and hope for a productive working relationship in the future. Trump had publicly attacked Mamdani in recent months, calling him names like a Communist lunatic, while Mamdani had dubbed Trump a dangerous despot during his campaign. The surprising and undeniably warm meeting led to a quick wave of reactions among journalists and pundits."

"Punchbowl's Jake Sherman posted, TRUMP showering praise on Mamdani in the White House may throw House Republicans for a loop. The House GOP has signaled their entire 2026 campaign plan is to tie Democrats to Mamdani. TRUMP showering praise on Mamdani in the White House may throw House Republicans for a loop.

"Politico's Jonathan Martin reacted to Trump telling Mamdani its ok to call him a fascist, writing, this would be like if one of the characters in a WWF match stops the fight, grabs the mic and explains to the crowd that, no, it's not real blood. this would be like if one of the characters in a WWF match stops the fight, grabs the mic and explains to the crowd that, no, it's not real blood https://t.co/n8tYu8GGxL Jonathan Martin (@jmart) November 21, 2025"
