President Donald Trump and New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani met in the Oval Office on Friday. The meeting turned tense when a reporter asked Mamdani if he still believed Trump was a “fascist.” Mamdani began to answer, but Trump cut in with a joke, saying, “Just say yes. It’s easier. I don’t mind.” The moment highlighted Mamdani’s struggle to balance his past criticism of Trump with his new role. Both leaders later spoke about working together on housing, public safety and rising living costs. Trump also commented on Ukraine and energy prices during the media interaction.
