A lot of folks who weren’t very friendly toward Donald Trump in the past are suddenly singing a different tune now that he won the November election in such overwhelming fashion—kudos to you if you predicted Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, and others would all make the pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago for chummy visits with the president-elect.

Even Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser is making positive statements about the incoming president following her recent meeting with him. Appearing on MSNBC Saturday, she almost sounded like a converted fan, calling their tete-a-tete “forward-looking”:

“You are right that the city of Washington, D.C., the capital city, has a different relationship with the president of the United States than any other city in America,” Bowser said. “And I have had the privilege now to work, this will be my third transition with the president and the second with Donald Trump.”

MSNBC host and former RNC chair Michael Steele asked Bowser about what D.C. residents could expect from the president-elect ahead of his inauguration day and how she went about the meeting, noting that the two had a somewhat contentious relationship during Trump’s first term.

“And I would characterize it as a forward-looking meeting, where we talked about the things that are important for the district and for him in his second term. I think it was candid. I think it was level-setting, and we are looking forward to working on those shared priorities,” Bowser said.

It wasn’t always such a cozy relationship:

Trump and Bowser clashed in the summer of Trump’s first term, specifically during the George Floyd riots.

Bowser declared that a portion of the street leading up to the White House that protesters spray-painted to read “Defund the Police” would be officially recognized by the District of Columbia as “Black Lives Matter Plaza” in 2020.

Bowser and Trump also publicly sparred over the use of federal law enforcement to quell the riots and protests that engulfed the nation’s capital, as well as other American cities.

Additionally, Trump criticized a proposal in 2020 to alter national monuments. The proposal was put forth by a group tasked by the D.C. mayor to find schools, parks, monuments, statues and buildings named after historical figures that they believe represent an oppressive or racist history.

Do I think we’re seeing Bowser 2.0 and that she will suddenly become a friend of MAGA and the GOP? Not hardly. She’s still a wild-eyed progressive who, like so many other Dem mayors, has done great damage to her city with her soft-on-crime rhetoric and far-left policies. Perhaps the best we can hope for is that she and others like her will tone their acts down a notch and at least attempt to improve their cities.

If not, I don’t think this new friendship will have a long shelf life.
