Trump attacks NYC Mayor Mamdani

Trump's remarks mark a sharp turn in the relationship between the two leaders, who had held relatively cordial meetings at the White House earlier this year.

The president claimed that Mamdani's policies are driving wealth out of the city and creating 'fake inflation' linked to high energy costs.

Mayor Mamdani responded by highlighting the economic disparity in the city, famously pointing at a billionaire's penthouse while advocating for his tax plan.

The feud underscores the deep ideological divide between the Trump administration and the leadership of the nation's largest city.
