“It’s okay, you can just say ‘yes’, okay? That’s easier,” Trump said with a laugh as quoted by

“It’s easier (saying yes) than explaining it. I don’t mind,” Trump added, patting Mamdani next to him on the shoulder.

The moment occurred when Trump tried to show a friendlier tone towards Mamdani than during the campaign.The atmosphere in the Oval Office is also friendly, warm and respectful.
Both of them also praised each other.
“I met a very rational man,” said Trump, Friday (21/11), quoted from
CBC
.
He later said, “I met a guy who really wants to see New York great again.”
Trump even emphasized that he was ready to help Mamdani after he boasted that he would cut the regional budget for New York City because he did not accept that the Democrat politician won.
“I hope to help him, not hurt him, a big help, because I want New York City to be great,” Trump was quoted as saying

Before the meeting, Trump and Mamdani showed signs of hostility. In his victory speech, Mamdani even beat the drums of war against Trump.
Trump also once called Mamdani a crazy communist.In some policies, the two are also at odds.
Apart from that, Trump once boasted that he would cut federal funding for New York if Mamdani became mayor.
“As president, I don’t want to send good money to cover bad things. I firmly believe that New York City will be a total economic and social disaster if Mamdani wins,” Trump said in early November.
