The relationship between Trump and Mamdani

Mamdani won the New York mayoral election in November and was sworn into office at midnight on January 1. His mandate has been characterized by an open confrontation between him and Donald Trumpwhom he has described as “authoritarian” and “fascist.”

During the mayoral campaignTrump called him a “communist” and called him “the most radical of the extreme Democratic left.” He even threatened to imprison him if he prevented ICE agents from entering the city.

Mamdani, who He is the first Muslim mayor of New York, aims to shield the city from actions against immigrants and its confrontations with the Police were evident during the campaign. Since his election, he has moderated his speech and maintains a conciliatory tone, always recognizing the work of the agents.

President Trump has used his election victory to push for a new law that requires voter identification. In his State of the Union address he referred to him as “a good boy.” He said he talked to him a lot. “Bad politics, but a nice guy,” he said.
