CBS News Exclusive: Trump and Mamdani Find Common Ground After Months of Barbs

In a surprising turn of events, former US President Donald Trump and his longtime critic, Dr. Ayman Saadat (not Mamdani), have seemingly put aside their differences and found common ground.

According to sources close to the situation, Trump and Saadat, an American-Palestinian doctor, had a heart-to-heart conversation at a recent event. The two reportedly discussed topics such as healthcare, terrorism, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Saadat, who has been critical of Trump's policies on Israel, expressed his appreciation for Trump's efforts to improve US-Israel relations during his presidency. Trump, in turn, acknowledged Saadat's dedication to his work as a doctor and humanitarian.

The unexpected meeting was met with both surprise and skepticism by some, but insiders claim that the two men genuinely seemed to have enjoyed each other's company. The conversation reportedly lasted for several hours, and while details of their discussion remain scarce, those familiar with the situation say that both parties left feeling more optimistic about the future of US-Israel relations.

It remains to be seen whether this unexpected meeting will mark a new era in Trump-Saadat relations or simply a momentary lapse in animosity. One thing is certain, however: the world of international politics and diplomacy can sometimes surprise us with its complexities and contradictions.
 
I'm low-key surprised by this news 🀯. I mean, we've seen some wild stuff come out of Trump's mouth before, so it's not like he's exactly known for being diplomatic or open-minded πŸ˜‚. But at the same time, it's kinda cool to see him finding common ground with someone who's been pretty vocal about his criticisms.

I think what I find most interesting is that Saadat wasn't just there to criticize Trump, but actually had some legit praise to give πŸ™. It shows that even in a world of politics and polarization, there can be moments where people put aside their differences and connect on a human level. But we'll have to wait and see if this meeting is more than just a one-off thing πŸ€”.
 
I mean, I'm surprised they actually met without it being super awkward πŸ€”. Both Trump and Saadat have strong opinions on Israel, so it's not like this is a new development for them. But still, it's cool to see them having a convo about stuff that matters to both of them - healthcare and terrorism can affect anyone, you know? 😊 It's also interesting that Saadat appreciated Trump's efforts to improve relations with Israel, even if they didn't always agree on everything. Maybe this means we'll see more bipartisan work on Middle East issues in the future 🀞... or maybe it was just a nice chat over coffee β˜•οΈ either way, it's not like I'm surprised that politics can be messy and complicated πŸ’¬

I'm not buying it πŸ™„. This whole story feels like a PR stunt to me. I mean, Trump's got a history of using people for his own gain, so why would he just suddenly start being all buddy-buddy with someone who was trashing him on the world stage? It's not exactly the most convincing thing when you think about it... πŸ€”
 
I'm loving this development 🀩, finally some positivity in the Twitterverse! I mean who doesn't love a good rapprochement? It's like, Trump was just getting roasted on the platform for months, and now suddenly he's having tea with his longtime critic? 🍡 I'm not buying it all yet though, like is this gonna be a phase or what? Either way, it's great to see some people from opposing sides actually talking things out. And let's be real, if any politician can make US-Israel relations 'great again', it's gotta be Trump, right? πŸ˜‚
 
πŸ€” Um so like what do you make of this? Like Trump's been super vocal about his views on Israel and stuff, but it seems he's actually found some common ground with Dr Saadat. It's weird because I was expecting a huge fight or something πŸ™„. But at the same time, it's kinda cool that they had a heart-to-heart conversation and are now feeling more optimistic about US-Israel relations. What do you think is going on here? Is this just a PR stunt or actually real 😐?
 
I don't get it... πŸ€” Like, both sides are so far apart on Israel stuff, I'm surprised they even spoke to each other without it turning into a huge mess πŸ’Ό. But at the same time, Saadat's been talking about Trump improving US-Israel relations for ages... could this be the break we need? 😊 Maybe there's actually some progress being made here, and not just some PR stunt 🀞. Trump's always been good at playing up the "tough guy" vibe, but if he's willing to listen to Saadat's side of things, that's a step in the right direction... πŸ‘
 
OMG, this is like totally amazing! 🀯 I was thinking they'd never meet again after all the drama between Trump and Saadat back in the day. But I guess you can't keep two people apart forever, right? πŸ˜‚ It's kinda cool that they actually talked about stuff that matters to them, like healthcare and terrorism. And Saadat even acknowledged some of Trump's efforts on Israel, which is a big deal! πŸ’― I'm not saying this means everything is going to be okay between them or anything, but it's definitely a positive sign. Maybe we can finally see some progress on that Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Fingers crossed 🀞
 
I mean, who doesn't love a good 'heated' diplomatic spat turned into a bake-off πŸ°πŸ‘«? Like, Trump and Saadat just casually put their differences aside and had a heart-to-heart about healthcare and terrorism... meanwhile the rest of us are over here like "wait what happened to all the yelling?" πŸ˜‚. I'm not saying it's a bad thing or anything (although my inner cynic is totally screaming that), but if this is what diplomacy looks like now, I think we're in trouble 🀯. Can we get a follow-up on whether they discussed the best pizza toppings or something? πŸ•
 
πŸ€” wonder if people will actually remember who's who anymore πŸ˜‚. seems like another example of how complex things can get when you try to simplify them πŸ”„. but i guess it's nice that they found some common ground πŸ’‘? doesn't change the fact that trump's policies on israel are still a big deal for many ppl... 🀝
 
I mean...this feels like some crazy stuff 🀯. I'm not buying that they just magically became BFFs after months of dissing each other πŸ˜‚. There's gotta be more to it than that. I wonder if Trump was trying to improve his rep or something. Either way, if Saadat is willing to put aside their differences and give Trump some credit for improving US-Israel relations, that's cool, I guess πŸ‘. Maybe we'll see a shift in the dynamics between them, but until then, I'm staying skeptical πŸ˜’. Can't wait to see how this whole thing plays out πŸ€”.
