My wife pointed out that, all political theater aside, Trump as corporation still has a lot of economic interest in NYC, especially real estate. So there’s a financial incentive for Trump to schmooze, set up for some favor trading to benefit him.
This is the vibe I picked up. Trump talked a lot about how he was going to address housing with new construction. Who’s going to get those contracts? Either some sort of deal was made, or at least Mamdani expressed that the potential was there. That’s my guess anyway.
