US President Donald Trump, known for his bold and often divisive rhetoric, has taken a surprising U-turn by offering “a little help” to New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. Just days ago, Trump threatened to restrict federal funding if Mamdani, a Democrat, won the election.
Trump’s remark came during the America Business Forum in Miami, signaling a notable shift from his previous stance where he expressed disdain for Mamdani’s policies.
“We’re going to see how that works out. And we’ll help them. We want New York to be successful,” said Trump.
The shift sparked reactions across the board, with some praising Trump for putting city success above politics, while critics see it as another strategic move.
Is this a genuine olive branch or a calculated play? Only time will tell.
