Trump says it’s “ok” for New York mayor-elect to call him fascist

In the United States, President Donald Trump met with New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani at the White House on Friday (21). A noteworthy moment during the meeting in the Oval Office, Trump said it’s “ok” for Mamdani to refer to him as a fascist, a term Mamdani has already publicly used to describe the president. When a reporter asked Mamdani if he still believed Trump was a fascist, the mayor-elect began to answer: “I’ve already spoken about that…” before Trump abruptly interrupted him. “It’s ok,” Trump interjected. “He can just say it,” the president said with a smile.
