Abdul El-Sayed defends calling Trump an ‘unserious fool’ as President says midterms ‘a giant step back’
According to The National, Abdul El-Sayed, the Democrat from Michigan who recently became the first Muslim elected to the US Senate, defended calling Donald Trump an 'unserious fool' during an appearance on ABC's 'This Week' on Sunday. Responding to questions about his campaign rhetoric, El-Sayed cited Trump's policies regarding Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, as well as tax cuts for the wealthy, as evidence of his 'foolishness.' Meanwhile, President Trump took to Truth Social to lament the midterm election results, which gave Democrats control of both the House and Senate, calling it a 'giant step back' for America. Amidst these tensions, Democratic Representative Robert Garcia criticized the appointment of Stephen Miller as White House chief of staff and vowed aggressive oversight of the administration's policies.
