Let's kick it off with our weekly recap from Meet the Depressed.

Good Sunday morning. After months of trading barbs throughout the New York City mayoral campaign,

President Donald Trump and mayor-elect Zoran Mamdani

finally met face to face in the Oval Office this week.

In a stunning turnaround, Mr. Trump, a native New Yorker,

emphasizing what he has in common

with the 34-year-old Democratic Socialist.

You know, we had some interesting conversation, and some of his ideas really are the same ideas that I have.

I feel very confident that.

Like what?

Affordability, Aaron, that old-fashioned word affordability.

Well, I mean, that's sort of the most that's the closest claim it's just a

talking point though yeah that's the closest to an answer but the problem there is first of all

zaraamamdani centered affordability he came up with it he had actual plans to address it so for example

having uh government subsidized grocery stores in one borough each, whereas Trump talked about affordability for a second and then sort of calling affordability a con job, saying that Democrats were just lying about it, basically doing the whole Biden thing of saying things are great.

Like, what are you worried about?

Yes.
