Donald Trump met with Mayor‑election candidate Zohran Mamdani in the Oval Office on Friday, a rare face‑to‑face encounter after months of heated back‑and‑forth between the two politicians. Trump’s brief comments suggested he still stands by the criticism he had earlier directed toward Mamdani, whom he called a “fascist.”
Mamdani tried to explain his position, but Trump interrupted with a short reply. “That’s ok,” Trump said, giving a nod that seemed to signal his approval of Mamdani’s stance. Trump followed with, “You can just say yes. It’s easier than explaining.”
The meeting comes amid a series of angry exchanges on social media and in the press, with Trump accusing Mamdani of pushing a political agenda that threatens “the fabric of America.” At the same time, Mamdani has vocalized his intent to counter the former president’s influence locally.
Observers say this Oval Office conversation marks a rare break from their public feud, but the core accusations remain unresolved. The dialogue reflects the broader political divide that traces back to the 2024 election cycle and the ongoing battle over policy, media narratives, and leadership in the United States.
