, maybe he just wants to look good before leaving office? but seriously, it's cool that mamdani's getting support from the outgoing admin 
. NYC is in tough times, and if trump's got some ideas on how to help, i'm all for it 
. the thing is, we don't know much about the meeting yet, so let's not get our hopes up just yet 
. but hey, a little goodwill never hurts, right? 
I think it's kinda cool that Trump is willing to help out his successor, you know? It shows that he's not totally bitter about losing the White House gig 
. Plus, with all the stuff New York City is dealing with right now, they could really use some guidance and support from a guy like him who has some... experience 
. I'm just hoping it doesn't feel too much like he's trying to micromanage or anything 
. Still, it's nice to see them putting on a united front for the city's sake 
. Let's hope their collaboration leads to some positive changes in NYC! 
. The fact that they had a productive discussion at the White House is good news for NYC and I hope Mayor-elect Mamdani can make some real changes 
. One thing for sure, NYC needs all the help it can get right now 
. And what exactly does he mean by "leverage his influence"? Sounds like a fancy way of saying "I'm gonna try to stick my nose in where it doesn't belong" 
. I'd rather see some concrete actions and actual help, not just empty words and promises 
.
