"Last time the two met, Trump asked him to return with ideas to build big things. Mamdani came back with a massive housing proposal. Mamdani's team created mock headlines to show Trump how such a project would be received. He was very enthusiastic."
"Not seen such a vivid display of graduate-level Trumpology since @maggieNYT dined alone, wrote Politico's Jonathan Martin of the image referring to Maggie Haberman, who was widely viewed as the Trump whisperer during his first term."
"It takes real homework to know that the key to Trump's heart is a fake front page about him from a popular publication for display in his office"
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani met with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office and presented mock New York Daily News covers designed to showcase a major housing initiative. The headlines referenced Trump's famous "Let's Build" messaging and a play on the classic "Ford to the City: Drop Dead" headline. Trump responded enthusiastically to the proposal. Mamdani's strategic approach of creating visual props impressed political observers, who noted his effective communication style. The meeting built on a previous conversation where Trump had encouraged Mamdani to return with ambitious development ideas. Media commentators highlighted Mamdani's skillful engagement with Trump, comparing his approach to other notable Trump communicators.
