BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani calls Trump a “fascist” to his face in a stunning Oval Office moment — while Trump praises him for “working hard” and even admits that he’d be “very, very comfortable” living in New York City with him as mayor.
Faced with a real political star, Trump rolled over and showed his belly like a dog…
“We had a meeting today that actually surprised me. He wants to see no crime. He wants to see housing being built. He wants to see rents coming down, all things that I agree with,” said Trump.
He went on to say that Mamdani’s policies haven’t been properly covered in the newspapers and he “expects to be helping him not hurting him.”
“Would you feel comfortable living in New York City under a Mamdani administration?” a reporter asked Trump.
“Yeah, I would. I really would. Especially after the meeting. Absolutely,” said Trump, who has repeatedly attacked the mayor-elect as a “communist.”
At another point in the back-and-forth with reporters, one of them attempted to hit Mamdani with a gotcha question and Trump defended him.
“Mr. Mayor, why did you fly here? Aren’t trains greener?” she asked.
“I’ll use every form of transit and I want to make sure that they’re all affordable in New York City,” said Mamdani. “And that’s why making buses fast and free is an essential part of our campaign.”
“That’s a lot quicker too,” interjected Trump. “You know, I mean he’s working very hard. For him to be… That’s a long, that’s a very… That’s a very long drive. I’ll stick up for you, you know. The plane takes you thirty minutes and the train takes you a lot longer.”
The most stunning moment came when a reporter asked Mamdani about his claim that Trump is a fascist.
“Are you affirming that you think that president Trump is a fascist?” asked a reporter.
“I’ve spoken about—” began Mamdani.
“That’s okay, you can just say yes,” interjected Trump, who was clearly charmed by the mayor-elect.
“Okay. All right. Yes,” said Mamdani.
“I don’t mind,” said Trump, patting him affectionately.
When asked about Republican Representative Elise Stefanisk calling Mamdani a “jihadist” Trump rejected the label and said: “I met with a man who’s a very rational person. I met with a man who really wants to see New York be great again.”
Trump’s fawning over Mamdani is a result of a few factors. He loves winners, regardless of their political valence, and he sees that the mayor-elect is a superstar. Never underestimate his need to be liked by popular, powerful people.
On top of that, Trump knew that he didn’t have any real leverage with which to attack Mamdani. In the case of his infamous blowout with the Ukrainian president, Trump relied on the fact that Zelensky couldn’t hit back hard because he needed American military aid to keep his people alive. For the sake of his people, Zelensky bit his tongue.
If Trump had decided to go after Mamdani in person, the Democrat would have eaten him alive because there would have been nothing holding him back.
This was a masterclass on Mamdani’s part. He walked into the MAGA White House, conducted negotiations for the betterment of New Yorkers, and came out looking strong and respected. Meanwhile, Trump looked spineless and weak.
