In a lighthearted exchange at the White House on November 21, President Donald Trump met with New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. After their meeting, which both parties deemed 'productive,' they fielded press questions. When a reporter asked Mamdani if he considered Trump a fascist, the president interrupted, joking, 'That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier than explaining it. I don't mind.' The remark drew a reaction from Vice President JD Vance, who praised Trump's 'good moments.' However, some observers suggested Vance might be 'jealous' of the rapport between Mamdani and Trump. The exchange came after Mamdani was asked about his previous criticisms of Trump, including labeling him a 'despot' with a 'fascist agenda.' Mamdani clarified that he and Trump have differing views but shared a commitment to serving New Yorkers. The meeting seemed to focus on finding common ground, with both parties emphasizing their unity in working for the betterment of New York City.
