00:00Mamdani flags weirdest thing he saw in Trump White House.

00:05During a recent appearance on The Adam Friedland Show, New York mayor-elect Zoran Mamdani shared

00:10the most bizarre thing he saw in President Donald Trump's White House.

00:14When asked by Friedland, what was the weirdest thing Trump showed you?

00:17Mamdani recalled sitting alone and waiting for the meeting to begin.

00:21In front of me are all of these different coffee table books.

00:24And one of them is UFC at the White House, he said.

00:27During the campaign, Trump repeatedly attacked Mamdani, calling him a communist lunatic

00:32and raising doubts about his ability to govern.

00:35Trump even suggested federal funding could be withheld if Mamdani won.

00:39But after the meeting, Trump publicly reversed course, saying he would feel comfortable

00:43living in Mamdani's New York City and offering full support.

00:47Mamdani said his focus remained on his platform.

00:51Honestly, I was just thinking about New York City, he said.

00:54He pointed to regulatory hurdles and construction expenses as primary barriers to lowering prices

00:59and noted that child care can reach $22,500 annually per child.

01:05Mamdani also addressed moments from other interviews, including when reporters asked whether he still

01:10considers Trump a fascist, to which the president responded that he didn't mind because it was

01:15easier than explaining other definitions.

01:18He cited Roosevelt-era cooperation between Fiorello LaGuardia and the federal government

01:22as a model, saying effective leadership requires coordination across political divides.

01:28On social media, Trump called the meeting a great honor.

01:31Mamdani later posted on X,

01:33Working people have been left behind in New York.

01:36In the wealthiest city in the world, one in five can't afford $2.90 for the train or bus.

01:41As I told Trump today, it's time to put those people right back at the heart of our politics.

01:46Right now.
