A recent appearance by US President Donald Trump has sparked a massive reaction on social media. Over the weekend, as winter arrived, Trump was seen clad in a plush burgundy scarf and large black overcoat as he walked towards Marine One. This routine moment quickly turned into a viral sensation.
Trump Copied Mamdani Signature Look
The internet quickly started to compare the President’s new look with the signature style of New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. The comparison came up barely hours after the two men had a high-profile meeting at the White House.
🔥🚨 BREAKING: President Trump just dropped the most ICONIC glow-up of 2025 and the internet is ABSOLUTELY LOSING IT!
The hair? Sharper than his tariffs.
The suit? Crisper than the deep state’s nightmares.
The vibe? 100% Alpha Comeback King energy.

Journalist Ahmed Baba added, “He meets with Mamdani one time and immediately tries to step his swag up.” One such user shared an older picture of Mamdani, who is often seen in a burgundy turtleneck and a blazer, insinuating that Trump did it on purpose.
Also, political commentator Russell Drew chimed in, “Yikes! Today Donald Trump looks like a cross between Emperor Palpatine and Don Corleone! Zohran Mamdani really effed him up.”

Trump and Mamdani Oval Office Meeting
The meeting between Trump and Mamdani on Friday concluded surprisingly. Despite hailing from different political camps, and even despite Mamdani having previously labeled Trump a “fascist,” the meeting was incredibly positive.
Trump ended up praising Mamdani and even went against common Republican criticisms of him. When directly asked about Mamdani’s past negative descriptions of him, Trump surprisingly said it was “ok.” Trump even said that he wants to see Mamdani succeed, saying that he would feel “very comfortable” living in a New York run by the mayor-elect.
“I expect to be helping him, not hurting him,” Trump said of Mamdani during a news conference. “I want New York City to be great,” he added.
The warm words and the sudden fashion change have made the interaction between the veteran President and the mayor-elect a major talking point, both in politics and fashion circles.
