Khaberni - The recent meeting at the White House witnessed a noticeable moment when American President Donald Trump dealt with an embarrassing question posed by a journalist to Zahran Mumdani, who recently took over as the Mayor of New York.
The journalist asked Zahran Mumdani directly whether he still considers Trump a "fascist," a term he had used towards the American president before winning the position.
Zahran Mumdani began to respond to the question as all eyes turned towards him, before Trump interrupted him with a brief smile, asking him to suffice with a brief answer in a clear attempt to contain the situation in front of the media cameras, while Trump continued to ease the tension with a simple touch on Mumdani's arm, affirming that he doesn't mind the use of this description.
Mumdani showed signs of confusion that he tried to hide before eventually delivering a brief response after Trump's jesting saying, "Don’t worry, say it, it's easier, I don't mind as I've been described much worse than a tyrant president."
The clip quickly spread across social media platforms, where users interacted with how both parties handled the situation, and some considered the scene closer to an open flirtation and the beginning of a cooperative and friendly phase between the two sides.
