I don’t mind.”Zohran Mamdani’s White House visit with President TrumpAfter Zohran Mamdani’s first White House visit as Mayor-elect, President Donald Trump said that they "agree on a lot more than I would have thought." For those unaware, the President and his political counterpart have expressed differing views and criticized each other in the past.That being said, after their meeting on Friday, President Trump seemed to give his endorsement to the youngest Mayor in the city’s history,“There will be topics that we disagree on. I think we’ll probably come to a conclusion. Ultimately it’s for the good of New York. If this city could be unbelievable, if he could be a spectacular success, I’d be very happy.”At one point in the proceedings, President Trump was asked directly whether he saw Mamdani as the de facto leader of the Democratic Party.The President responded:"I'll let you answer that. Do you consider yourself the leader of the Democrats? I think It’s more appropriate for him?”To this, Mamdani said: “I consider myself the next mayor of NYC. I keep my horizons firmly on New York City and I appreciate the meeting with the president which again focused on the five boroughs and whether New Yorkers could afford to live there.”
