Panicked Trump Loses It at Dem Star After Explosive Debate
Aaron Schwartz / Aaron Schwartz, Getty Images President Donald Trump has attacked a Democratic rising star after a heated debate with his Republican rival.
With the Nov.
3 midterm elections less than a month away, the 80-year-old is resorting to ugly tactics, continually labeling Abdul El-Sayed, the Michigan Democratic Senate candidate, a “jihadist.” The desperate attempts to smear El-Sayed continued just after midnight on Friday, after the Senate hopeful had an explosive debate with his opponent, Mike Rogers.
A sleepless Trump was clearly anxious that his appraisal was needed, so he fired off an ugly attack at El-Sayed, the 41-year-old son of Egyptian immigrants, on Truth Social.
He claimed that Rogers, 63, “completely obliterated Mohammad El-Sayed in the big debate tonight.” One of Trump’s new bits is to call El-Sayed by his middle name, Mohamed, although he routinely misspells it.
“If this was a fight they would have stopped it.
Mohammad is a Jihadist lunatic who hates our Country, the Black People of Detroit, and wants to see the U.S. fail.
Short on Stature, Patriotism, and Truth, Mohammed’s statements have been loaded up with lies and deceit.
I won Michigan BIG, and know that Mike Rogers, a total winner, is the man for you!!!” the president’s deranged message continued.
El-Sayed, whose full name is Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, said Trump using his middle name is a crass trick to rile up anti-Muslim rhetoric among his voters.
“He knows my name is Abdul.
He says it everyday,” he wrote on X on Thursday morning.
“But he’s not just attacking me.
He’s attacking all of us.” “He thinks so low of us,” El-Sayed continued.
