From CNN:

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani was pressed Friday on whether he believes President Donald Trump is a fascist.

Standing beside his host in the Oval Office, Mamdani began to answer – until the president, seated, interrupted.

“That’s OK – you can just say yes. That’s easier. It’s easier than explaining,” Trump told his guest, laughing it off as he playfully tapped Mamdani on the arm.

TFW the fascist agrees he is a fascist

But the two were all smiles throughout, with Trump even siding with the soon-to-be first Muslim mayor of New York over one of his GOP allies, Rep. Elise Stefanik, who’d called Mamdani a “jihadist.”

“She’s out there campaigning and you say things sometimes in a campaign,” Trump said of Stefanik, who’s running for governor of New York. “I met with a man who’s a very rational person. I met with a man who wants to see New York be great again.”

Well that's not what I expected...

Seriously, he was just threatening to deport him and his family like a week ago. Demented fuckhead.

I’ve seen some word that Trump probably just thinks Mamdani is using “fascist” as a political pejorative - in the same way republicans call their political opponents “communists” or “radical left socialists”.

Or, being an actual fascist, he doesn't consider it an insult

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago (2 children)

This is the first I'm hearing of this. And, I seriously can't tell whether you're joking.

Not for the first time, recently, I ask, "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!"

The ruling class wear ideology like a suit. It’s political theatre. Power only ever serves itself, right/left have no meaning at the top.

Left and right are just a narrative to keep the lower classes busy against each other…

Everyone dislikes some stuff that are considered right ideology
Everyone likes some stuff that are considered right ideology
Everyone likes some stuff that are considered left ideology
Everyone dislikes some stuff that are considered left ideology

We need diversity

Bingo. See 1984 for details.

What's going on is that you are in the passenger seat of a vehicle driven by an old narcissist who demands love and fealty from everyone.

They are not watching the road.

Anytime they get the slightest hint that you do not love them unconditionally, the threaten to swerve the car into a bridge embankment and kill you both.

You uncomfortably make conversation on the ride.

It turns out that if you convincingly explain how popular you are for a certain point of view, and insist that "many people are saying...", the old man will eventually agree with you even if at first he loudly barked his opposition to it.

Eventually you begin to realize that this man has no real principles or beliefs. He is just a ball of oppositional defiance disorder, terribly lonely, unhappy, pathologically and incessantly seeking your approval. And malleable. So so very malleable.

Way to pick a leader, America!

I don't know if this is some sort of joke, but that's not an agreement. That's Trump not wanting a convoluted political beating around the bush, which is what Mamdani was about to do. Such a response would feed the media, but just saying yes and Trump shrugging it off sabotages the media's obvious attempt of pitting them against each other.
