Are there still some people out there who truly believe that Trump is NOT racist, and that it's all a witch hunt...? Seriously??

Trump launches racist diatribe against Abdul El-Sayed at Iowa rally
President again took aim at progressive Senate candidate and lauded Haley Stevens for endorsing Mike Rogers

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/nov/01/trump-iowa-rally

Donald Trump railed against Democratic US senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed at a campaign event in Iowa Sunday, repeatedly referring to the Michigan progressive as a “jihadist”.

Trump’s comments aimed to influence a neck-and-neck race that will play an outsized role in determining which party controls the senate after Tuesday’s midterm elections.

The president bashed El-Sayed, a practicing Muslim, in brazenly racist terms, saying that Congress would have to “get a special metal detector for Abdul” if he were elected.

“If you vote for this jihadist lunatic that wants to destroy you, you’re crazy,” Trump said.

Progressives are such a threat to them and what is really happening is that they are crashing out over their sudden popularity. That's what's happening. The popularity reminds conservatives of their failures and that the world is changing.

Even if Abdul isn't elected, the issue isn't that they are winning, the issue is that people are listening when they weren't before to progressives and that scares conservatives. That's the only reason

@Waveney thank you. what makes you believe president Trump is racist? Is this based solely on his criticism of a political opponent? Mr. Sayed own rhetoric often appears to contain a racist tone. He also gives every appearance of supporting terrorist causes. Your apparent agreement and support would tend to indicate your alignment with those opinions or at least gives tacit support to those who share them.

@GerOttman Still dodging the question, I see.

I asked why you accused me of being a terrorist apologist and supporting the hanging of gay people. Instead of answering, you've resorted to changing the subject and throwing around more insinuations. Try to keep up: disagreeing with Trump doesn't make me an unquestioning supporter of El-Sayed, and it certainly doesn't make me responsible for whatever views you choose to attribute to him.

So, one last time: what exactly have I said that justifies those accusations? Or did you simply make them up because it's what you actually believe about El-Sayed? Because he's, like, Muslim?
