During their first in-person meeting at the White House on Friday (November 21), Donald Trump told incoming New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani "you can just say yes" after a reporter asked whether Mamdani thought the U.S. president was a fascist.
Mamdani walked in with an agenda. Trump walked out repeating it.

As I watched that Q&A session, on the surface it seemed quite agreeable betwn Mayor-elect Mamdani and Pres Trump.
Words are easy. Actions are more difficult.
There's that NJ-NY tunnel project ("Hudson River Tunnel Project between New York and New Jersey ") that I am watching.
Background ...
Here's what happens to the Hudson River tunnel project linking N.J. and N.Y.C. now that Trump terminated' it (October 2025)
www.nj.com
... President Donald Trump doubled down on his surprise announcement last week that he has canceled the $16 billion Gateway project to build two new rail tunnels under the Hudson, telling reporters on Air Force One this week that it is permanently canceled.
Concerns about the future of the $16 billion project have bubbled up from Main Street to Congress. ...
So, was there an agreement to restart that project?
