President-elect Donald Trump appeared to thank New York City Mayor Eric Adams when the two crossed paths at Saturday night’s UFC event at Madison Square Garden, according to a lip reader.
Jeremy Freeman, a certified lip-reading expert, told The Daily Mail after reviewing footage of the encounter that the two appeared to have a warm, intimate conversation as they shook hands.
“Oh Eric…” Trump told the mayor before his face was blocked by Adams’ head, according to Freeman.
He continued to tell Hizzoner “Not really. Thank you for all the…” before he is once again cut off in the clip.
The moment came days after Adams publicly congratulated Trump on his election victory and then privately called him.
