What happened at Trump’s surprise press conference with NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani?
It happened again, folks. Donald Trump and New York City Mayor Mam Dani held a press conference outside Gracie Mansion in New York City.

Donald Trump continuing to praise New York City Mayor Mam Dani in public, which has the remaining Trump supporters and their There ain't all that many left. Saying, what the hell is going on here? Play this clip. No,
I I certainly hope he will be a great mayor. You have to understand I want what's good for New York, I want what's good for the country. So if I had a choice of having him be a bad mayor or horrible mayor, I don't want that. I want him to be a great mayor, and he's certainly got potential. Got great potential.
Thank you so much. That's all the time we have.
more of Donald Trump talking about how much he loves Gracie Manchin and how he's seen a number of mayors, some who are good, some who are not so great. And he says, you're off to a start there, New York City Mayor Mom Donnie. Here play this clip. Mr. Mayor, Mr President,
this is the first time that a sitting president has visited Gracie Mansion in decades. Mr. President, on the way here, you posted that this is one of your favorite places in the world. Why is that? And Mr. Mayor, what did you show the president? What did you want to see?
Well I can say from my standpoint I love New York and this represents New York. This is where the mayor lived. And uh continues to live and uh we were discussing it a long time ago when you first got elected. I said, Well are you gonna move? 'Cause you you were maybe having some doubts about moving in because it is a little bit on the luxurious side and I said, When you're the mayor, you have to live there.
Why does Donald Trump repeatedly praise Mayor Mamdani as a ‘great mayor’?
So uh and he's done that. And it was very nice inside, beautifully kept. And but it's a very very uh representative place of being a very important place.
And we we appreciate the president's commitment to the city and today, you know, the the President shared many of his memories of having been to Gracie Mansion before, having been out here uh as well on the lawn, and we appreciated the conversation of how we can work together to deliver a lower cost of living for New Yorkers.
Thank a reporter then asked Donald Trump what his views are about the fact that a lot of New York City residents are on protective status. Then Donald Trump said Mayor Mom Donnie told me he feels very strongly about protecting the people on protective status. Here, here, play this clip.
The mayor will stay to take a few questions. Um
A lot of New Yorkers are here on protected status and it's been removed.
Well the mayor feels very strongly about it, I can tell you, and he did bring it up. But he feels very, very strongly about it. I feel strongly about a lot of things. I feel strongly about taking care of people. And that's what we do. We're doing
a good
job of it.
And Donald Trump said that he told New York City Mayor Mam Donnie that he understands why Mom Donnie may not want to live in Gracie Mansion because of how luxurious it is. But that as the New York City mayor, you gotta live there. Is this the strangest freaking press conference you've ever seen? As Donald Trump literally kind of shrivels in the presence of New York City Mayor Mam Donnie here, play this.
I'd say from my standpoint I love New York and this represents New York. This is where the mayor lived. And uh continues to live and uh we were discussing it a long time ago when you first got elected. I said, Well are you gonna move? 'Cause you you were maybe having some doubts about moving in because it is a little bit on the luxurious side and I said, When you're the mayor you have to live there. So uh and he's done that. And it was very nice inside, beautifully kept And but it's a very very uh representative place of New York, very important place.
We we appreciate the President's commitment to the city and today, you know, the the President shared many of his memories of having been to Gracie Mansion before, having been out here uh as well on the lawn, and we appreciated the conversation of how we can work together to deliver a lower cost of living for New Yorkers.
