This week, The Reason Roundtable discuss President Trump’s unexpectedly warm White House meeting with New York mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.
editors Peter Suderman, Katherine Mangu-Ward, and Nick Gillespie are joined by Reason senior editor Robby Soave to discuss President Donald Trump’s unexpectedly warm White House meeting with New York mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and why he now describes the socialist’s agenda as «practical.» They examine what this moment suggests about Trump’s shifting political instincts, how it fits with his recent comments on tariffs and the state of the economy, and what the disbanding of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) signals about his governing approach.
