Leavitt Runs to Fox News to Salvage Trump's Mamdani Humiliation

[Zorro]

Leavitt attempted to paint Trump as a political mastermind who played Mamdani like a fiddle.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is desperate to wrest control of the narrative.

Shortly after New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani successfully charmed President Donald Trump into submission during their meeting in the Oval Office on Friday, Leavitt appeared on Fox News on Friday evening to attempt to mount an argument that Trump is a political mastermind who generously shared his wisdom with Mamdani.

Speaking to Fox’s Sean Hannity, Leavitt argued that Trump’s meeting proved the president was “willing to meet with anybody, to sit across the table, to shake hands, look people in the eye, and have discussions on how they can mutually benefit the American public.”

“Don’t forget, President Trump is a lifelong New Yorker. He loves that city. He helped build the skyline as it exists and shines today. So of course he wants New York to succeed. He wants all Americans to succeed because he’s a president for all of the country. The president wants this country to come together and you saw that on full display in the Oval Office,” Leavitt argued.

Leavitt’s description of the meeting is in stark contrast to what viewers witnessed of their joint Oval Office presser, during which the president spent much of the meeting essentially fawning over Mamdani, even going so far as to give the 34-year-old permission to call him a “despot” and “fascist."

4. Neither Trump nor his father have had any noticeable impact on the NYC skyline

From either the Hudson did or the East River side there probably isn’t a single Trump building you could pick out of that skyline and the most recognisable element is still the Empire State Building.
