the man who once called himself \u201cDonald Trump\u2019s worst nightmare,\u201d but he found a very different tone inside the Oval Office with a room full of reporters and the world watching.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-7\">Advertisement<\/div>\n<p>Mamdani was warm and complimentary, focusing on shared goals instead of the sharp public clashes that defined their rise.<\/p>\n<p>Trump, who had previously labeled Mamdani a \u201c100% Communist Lunatic\u201d and a \u201ctotal nut job,\u201d said he was surprised by the mayor-elect and his ideas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think he is going to surprise some conservative people, actually,\u201d Trump said as Mamdani stood beside him.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-10\">Advertisement<\/p>\n<div id=\"as6078\" data-title=\"You Might Also Like\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The meeting offered a political opportunity for both men.<\/p>\n<p>For Mamdani, it was a chance to directly engage with the most powerful figure in American politics and elevate his profile beyond New York.<\/p>\n<p>For Trump, it was a major platform to discuss affordability at a time when he is under growing pressure to show progress on cost-of-living issues.<\/p>\n<p>Until now, the two men built their bases by attacking one another, and it is unclear how supporters on either side will react to their calm exchange.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re going to be helping him, to make everybody\u2019s dream come true, having a strong and very safe New York,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I really appreciate about the president is that the meeting that we had focused not on places of disagreement, which there are many, and also focused on the shared purpose that we have in serving New Yorkers,\u201d Mamdani said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of his ideas are really the same ideas that I have,\u201d Trump said about Mamdani\u2019s approach to inflation.<\/p>\n<p>Mamdani said he sought the meeting to address affordability concerns in New York City.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has previously called him a \u201ccommunist\u201d and threatened to cut federal funding, but on Friday he pulled back from those remarks.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-12\">\n<div data-delay=\"4000\" data-block=\"12\">\n<div>\n<div id=\"e1c09a52-67a1-44a3-a58e-fc2bf67380c6\"

meeting, Elle Bisgaard-Church, Mamdani\u2019s former campaign manager and incoming chief of staff, told NY1 the two disagreed on many issues but found common ground on crime reduction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe discussed that we share a mutual goal of having a safe city where everyone can move around in comfort and ease,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She added that both men focused on where they could find agreement on affordability and fairness.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-13\">Advertisement<\/div>\n<p>Mamdani said Thursday he was not worried about Trump using the meeting to embarrass him.<\/p>\n<p>He said he saw it as an opportunity to make his case even while acknowledging \u201cmany disagreements with the president.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Instead, both avoided confrontation and delivered unusually cordial remarks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-9\">\n<div id=\"taboola-below-article-thumbnails\" class=\"trc_related_container
