Wow, it looks like Donald Trump bent the knee to Zoran Mamdani during their Oval Office meeting together. They held a press conference after and Donald Trump was like fawning over Mamdani. Let me just show you what happened. A reporter asked Mamdani if you believe Donald Trump's a fascist and Donald Trump said, you can call me that. Just call me whatever you want. Donald Trump bent the knee. Here, play this clip.
to clarify your answer to Stephen Nelson. He asked about your comment calling the president a fascist. And your answer was, both President Trump and I have been clear about our positions and our views.
Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist? I've spoken about. That's okay.
You can just say, okay, it's easier. It's easier than explaining it.
Donald Trump also then said that Mamdani told him that a lot of the voters for Mamdani were Trump voters. And he's like, I'm great with that. That's amazing. Here, play this clip. We find it.
And I think you're going to see some very positive things happen. I would do that, absolutely.
Did Trump “bend the knee” to Mayor‑elect Zohran Mamdani during the Oval Office meeting?
And the mayor would like to be here for that meeting, because I know he feels very strongly. I think you feel very, very strongly about peace in the Middle East.
We desperately want it. And that's something that I shared with the president, that when I spoke to New Yorkers who had voted for the president last November on Hillside Avenue and Fordham Road, I asked them why. I heard again and again two major reasons. was that they wanted an end to forever wars, they wanted an end to the taxpayer dollars we had funding violations of human rights, and they wanted to address the cost of living crisis. And I appreciated the chance to discuss both of those things.
You said a lot of my voters actually voted for him, and I'm okay with that. I'll do that. I'll sign it. Give it to me. I'll sign it in a minute. That's pretty good.
Next up, Mamdani is asked by a reporter why you refer to Donald Trump as a despot. Watch Trump's response right here. Play this clip.
And some very liberal people, he won't surprise them because they already like him.
Mr. Mamdani, it sounds like you had a productive discussion. But just days ago, you referred to President Trump as a despot who betrayed the country. Are you planning to retract his remarks in order to improve your relationship? I think both President Trump and I, we are very clear about our positions and our views. And what I really appreciate about the president is the meeting that we had focused not on places of disagreement, which there are, many and also focused on the shared purpose that we have in serving New Yorkers. And frankly, that is something that could transform the lives of eight and a half million people who are currently struggling under a cost of living crisis with one in four living in poverty.
What did Trump publicly say about Mamdani when asked if he’s a fascist or despot?
And the meeting came back again and again to what it could look like to lift those New Yorkers out of struggle and start to deliver them a city that they could do more than just struggle to afford it, but actually start to live in it.
And I've been called much worse than a despot, so it's not that insulting. Maybe, I think he'll change his mind after we get to working together. Yes, please.
And Trump says that he thinks Mamdami's gonna be a great mayor, that he's gonna be great for crime, that he's gonna be great for reducing crime, great for New York City. Huh? Here, play this clip.
Very well. And I wanted to congratulate the mayor. He really ran an incredible race against a lot of smart people, starting with the early primaries against some very tough people, very smart people. And he beat him and he beat him easily. And I congratulated him. And we talked about some things in very strong common, like housing and getting housing built and food prices and the price of oil is coming way down.
