Is the US president a good sport, or just hyper-cynical and hyper-authoritarian? Friday’s Trump-Mamdani meetup left viewers puzzled as a giggling Donald Trump told Zohran Mamdani that, yes, he can call him a fascist if he wants to. Swin and Prem dove straight into it.
“Trump is of the mind that when you are running a campaign or when you’re operating in office, you are saying a bunch of things about your political opponents that is just kayfabe, that is just cynical slop for the rubes and the masses… It’s a game. So who cares if you say it in front of me?”
Swin and Prem analyze it all on ‘Ask the Editor,’ Zeteo’s livestreamed Monday Q&A where subscribers bring your questions to the table. This week, our own Asawin Suebsaeng filled in for Mehdi!
