LOADING ERROR LOADINGNew York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani stood his ground on Sunday in calling Donald Trump a fascist, just days after a shockingly chummy meeting at the White House that ended in some policy agreements and unexpected praise by the president for the leftist leader whose candidacy he previously condemned. Mamdani did not shy away from calling the president a fascist during his mayoral campaign, and doubled down during Friday’s meeting when a reporter asked if he still stands by that statement. AdvertisementTrump interjected before Mamdani could answer, saying: “That’s OK, you can just say yes. It’s easier than explaining it, I don’t mind.”“OK, yes,” the mayor-elect said with a smile as Trump patted his arm. On Sunday, Mamdani was asked again if he still thinks Trump is a fascist.
