Donald Trump and Zohran Mamdani are grabbing coffee at the mansion

Original version ·

The unlikeliest political odd couple is taking their bromance to the Big Apple this week.

So, Donald Trump is heading to NYC for the UN General Assembly, and he’s carving out time to hang with Zohran Mamdani at Gracie Mansion. If you’re wondering why a democratic socialist mayor and a Republican president are acting like old college roommates, you aren’t alone.

They’ve actually got a history of surprisingly friendly sit-downs, despite being on complete opposite ends of every spectrum imaginable. They’ve even chatted about housing projects in the past. It’s a bit awkward, though—the same mayor is currently busy suing Trump’s administration over immigration policy alongside Letitia James. Nothing says 'civil discourse' like sipping tea in a mansion while your legal teams are duking it out in court.

Politics in this country have truly become a fever dream where nobody knows who is on what team anymore.
