The extent of Trump’s affection for the Mayor-elect feels unprecedented.

“I feel very confident that he can do a very good job. And I think he’s going to surprise some conservatives,” Trump said. When asked if he would live in Mamdani’s New York, he added “absolutely.” “We agree on a lot more than I would have thought.”
