Trump says Mamdani ‘has to be a little bit respectful of Washington,’ is ‘off to a bad start’
US President Donald Trump says the incoming New York City mayor gave an “angry speech” after his victory and should be “very nice to me” because the federal government has to approve things that Mamdani wants.
“He’s off to a bad start,” Trump says.
Asked if he will reach out to Mamdani, Trump demurs.
“It would be more appropriate for him to reach out to us,” he says.
