Laura Loomer Says She’s “Pissed” After Trump Praises Mamdani

Laura Loomer said the meeting would embolden the left as Trump and Mamdani left without progress on Temporary Protected Status for immigrants.

  • On Monday, President Donald Trump met with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani at Gracie Mansion for a closed-door discussion focused on city issues including housing affordability.
  • Previously calling the mayor a "100% Communist Lunatic" during the 2025 campaign, Trump publicly praised Mamdani as having the "potential" to be a "great mayor" despite months of political attacks.
  • Political activist Laura Loomer called Mamdani an "Islamic jihadist" and claimed the visit would "embolden" the left, while radio host Sid Rosenberg warned the appearance could hurt Republicans in midterm elections.
  • Mamdani revealed they made no progress on extending Temporary Protected Status for immigrants from 13 countries; security analyst Josh Rogin criticized the president for appearing uninterested in the issue affecting Haitians, Syrians, and Afghans.
  • The meeting occurred as the president prepared for a United Nations event, and critics suggest interactions with political opponents could complicate Republican efforts to win midterm elections.
