Fox News viewers were shocked that the network contradicted the president for once.
Donald Trump met with the mayor-elect of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, at the White House on November 21. Known for their differing political views, Mamdani said that his team reached out to Trump to discuss what’s best for the city of New York and planned to address affordability. He said in a press conference the day before the meeting, “I have many disagreements with the president, and I believe that we should be relentless and pursue all avenues and all meetings that could make our city affordable for every single New Yorker.
“I intend to make it clear to President Trump that I will work with him on any agenda that benefits New Yorkers,” Mamdani continued.
Before their meeting, Fox News hosts were slamming the mayor for his previous sentiments, with a few stemming from what he has said about Trump.
Fans were amused by the switch in content once Trump took the screen with his praise. During the Friday meeting, the president began, “We just had a great meeting, a really good, very productive meeting. We have one thing in common. We want this city of ours that we love to do very well.
He went on to applaud the mayor on his “incredible race.” Trump said, “I wanted to congratulate the mayor. He really ran an incredible race against a lot of smart people, starting with the early primaries against some very tough people, very smart people. He beat them and he beat them easily.
“I congratulated him and we talked about some things,” he added. “I think you’re going to have hopefully a really great mayor.
“The better he does, the happier I am. There is no difference in party. There is no difference in anything.
“We’re going to be helping him to make everybody’s dream come true: having a strong and very safe New York,” he concluded.
After his introduction, fans ran to X with their reactions, with one saying, “Prior to the start of this meeting, Fox News was running an entire segment on the dangers of Mamdani. Just for Trump to start it off by saying how great of a meeting they just had and and all of their shared values.lol, lmao.”

Another added, “It was a love fest. Fox News will need a new script.”
A third chimed in, “It’s insane HE’S DEFENDING HIM AGAINST ATTACKS FROM FOX NEWS!! This is gold!! Republicans can’t even mount an attack tying him to the national Democratic Party because their own boss defended him IN FRONT OF TELEVISION CAMERAS.”
Before the meeting, Trump spoke to Brian Kilmeade from Fox News about his predictions, saying he believes it would be “quite civil” despite the two’s differing political views.
In a 60 Minutes interview, Trump said he would endorse Andrew Cuomo, the disgraced governor of New York, who was Mamdani’s biggest competitor in the mayoral race. On Election Day, Mamdani said he would “Trump-proof” the city, and after he won, the mayor-elect addressed Trump in his speech and told him to “turn the volume up” so he could hear him better.
Trump seemed not to understand Mamdani as he later told Kilmeade, “I don’t know exactly what he means by ‘turn the volume up’ … he has to be careful when he says that to me.”
