Hey, you up?
Mayor Zohran Mamdani and President Trump have been exchanging “friendly” missives at least twice a week — as the unlikely bromance between the socialist and conservative commander-in-chief continues to blossom, The Post has learned.
The former Astoria lawmaker and the Queens native have semi-regularly been chatting via text since their chummy White House meeting in November, discussing a wide range of topics, from the toppling of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and zoning red tape in Big Apple real estate, according to sources.
Insiders with knowledge of the conversation described the tone of the texts as “friendly.”
“It wouldn’t make practical, political sense for them to scream at each other — in public or private,” one politico said, while also noting, “Of course, they can’t appear too cozy.”
The source added: “Mamdani would be smart to kiss Trump’s ass … Especially when the federal government can withhold billions from the city.”
The budding relationship and the regularity with which the two chat personally are a marked departure from previous interactions between presidents and New York City mayors in recent history.
Even Mamdani’s predecessor Mayor Eric Adams, who cozied up to Trump and rushed down to DC in the middle of the night to attend his inauguration last year, had to connect with the president through intermediaries.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
PDJT was (is?) seemingly as close with Kim Jong Un as was Dennis Rodman.
He’s the un-Biden, in that, as long as his interlocutor is similarly refraining, Trump tends not to grandstand/virtue signal, or lash out with cheap shots, out of the blue.
Trump was negotiating with Maduro in December, they say.
It’s not a bad thing for them to get along.
Yet Hamas lover Mamdani was screaming about ICE a few days ago, is it all an act?
“Keep your friends close, but your enemies even closer”
Art of War;-)
He is the pres of all the people. Even the hard core commies. As long as he doesn’t become one.
bingo
Trump was nice to rocket man.
I don’t think Trump uses text messages.
Trump will make Madmani crack without him even knowing about it.
Exactly; this is a textbook example of such.
Trump is glazing him. “like a spider to a fly”.
It won’t last; and Trump is making himself unnecessarily vulnerable. One spat and there will be big trouble for Trump Tower.
