Trump brands ‘Mohammed’ El-Sayed a ‘radical jihadist’ in explosive attack

US President Donald Trump attacked Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, calling him a “radical jihadist” and insisting on using the name “Mohammed.”

“They were destroying our country, and we cannot let them get back in, like Mohammed El-Sayed,” Mr Trump said.

“I call him Mohammed, somebody said, ‘his name isn’t Mohammed; it’s Abdul. I said to me it’s Mohammed.

”I’m the president; I can call him whatever the hell I want.

“He’s a radical jihadist; the guys are jihadists. Look at his statements from two years ago.”
