Behind the smiles, Trump fears Zohran Mamdani, the left-wing star reshaping US policy

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : But his plans for government-run food shops, free buses and, above all, rent freezes, are straight from the sixth-form socialist playbook.
45% : Trump couldn't tell you what socialism or communism is if you asked him.
40% : Mayor-elect Mamdani was given a tougher time yesterday by fellow Democrats in Congress, 86 of whom voted with Republicans to approve a House resolution - timed to coincide with the Oval Office meeting - that condemned "the horrors of socialism", when they ought to be more concerned about the horrors of Trump II. Democrat bigwigs fear that Mamdani's full-fat socialism will scare middle-of-the-road voters in swing states.
38% : House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, one of the 86 Democrats behind the pointed condemnation of socialism, was, after all, a vociferous Biden supporter to the (very) bitter end.
27% : The right-wing real-estate magnate and the "democratic socialist" batted away the awkward questions on ICE raids and accusations of fascism, and bonded - for the cameras, at least - over a shared love of New York and a desire to build homes there.
