Mamdani Still Considers Trump a ‘Fascist’

“That’s something I’ve said in the past and I say today. And I think what I appreciated about the conversation that I had with the president was that we were not shy about the places of disagreement, about the politics that has brought us to this moment, and we also wanted to focus on what it could look like to deliver on a shared analysis of an affordability crisis for New Yorkers.”

— New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani said that he still believes President Trump is a “fascist” and a “despot,” but he viewed their first face-to-face meeting at the White House on Friday as an “opportunity” to work together on lowering the cost of living for New Yorkers, NBC News reports.

It’s the Inflation, Stupid!

  • 65% say Trump’s policies are making grocery prices go up.
  • 77% of those judging Trump most on economy and inflation say he’s not spending enough time on it.
  • 64% disapprove of his handling of economy.
