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's like, you can call me that. Just call me whatever you want. Donald Trump bent the knee. Here, play this clip.
Martha MacCallum 1:23
Can I 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?
Donald Trump 1:38
I've spoken about. That's okay. You can just say, okay, it's easier. It's easier than explaining.
Ben Meiselas 1:47
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.
Donald Trump 1:56
And I think you're going to see some very positive things happen. I would do that. Absolutely. And if 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.
Donald Trump 2:38
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.
Ben Meiselas 2:52
Next up, Mamdani's asked by a reporter why you referred to Donald Trump as a despot. Watch Trump's response right here. Play this clip.
Donald Trump 3:00
And some very liberal people, he won't surprise them because they already like him.
Dr. Craig Spencer 3:05
Mr. Mamdani, it sounds like you had a productive discussion, but just days ago, you referred to President Trump as a despot. worse than a hero and accused of having a fascist agenda. Are you planning to retract any of these remarks in order to improve your relationship?

What happened during Donald Trump’s Oval Office meeting with Mayor‑elect Zohran Mamdani?

Donald Trump 3:23
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 the eight and a half million people who are currently struggling under a cost of living crisis with one in four living in poverty. 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.
Donald Trump 3:56
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.
Ben Meiselas 4:08
