US President Donald Trump's meeting with New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani took a surprising turn on Friday, sparking speculation about their newfound camaraderie. According to Fox News anchor Brian Kilmeade, Trump was 'complimentary' toward Mamdani, and the two shared a 'friendly handshake' during their Oval Office conversation. Kilmeade suggested that Trump might be considering Mamdani as a potential running mate, joking that Vice President JD Vance might be 'jealous' of their new friendship. Images from the White House showed Mamdani standing by Trump's desk, with the president smiling and patting him on the arm. The meeting marked a significant change from their previous clashes, with Trump previously calling Mamdani a 'Communist Lunatic' and a 'total nut job.' However, the two appeared relaxed and collaborative during the discussion, which focused on housing, inflation, and the rising cost of living. Trump praised the meeting, saying it was 'great' and that they 'agree on a lot more than I would have thought.' He emphasized their shared goal of making New York a 'strong and very safe' city. The Oval Office interaction was a departure from Trump's usual style of publicly pressuring or scolding visiting leaders. The unexpected friendship between Trump and Mamdani has raised eyebrows and sparked speculation about its implications for US politics. As the two leaders continue to work together, it remains to be seen how their relationship will evolve and impact the country.
