in town pool report #6 - more quotes

On Israeli government from Mamdani:

"I've spoken about the Israeli government committing genocide, and I've spoken about our government funding it, and I shared with the president in our meeting about the concern that many New Yorkers have of wanting their tax dollars to go towards the benefit of New Yorkers and their ability to afford basic dignity

Trump on Mamdani:

"I really think there's a chance to do a great job. We're going to help him, but I really think he has a chance to do a great job."

POTUS joked that the press cared more about his meeting with Mamdani than with foreign leaders.

"For some reason, the press has found this to be a very interesting meeting. The biggest people in the world, they come over from countries, nobody cares, but they did care about this meeting, and it was a great meeting."

POTUS said it was becuase Mamdani is "different, and that can be in a very positive way."

"He has a chance to really do something great for New York. New York is at a very critical point, and he does need the help of the federal government to really succeed. We're going to be helping him."
