United States President Donald Trump has launched a verbal attack on American politician Abdul El-Sayed, accusing him of holding extremist views and having alleged connections to the Muslim Brotherhood.
In remarks attributed to him, Trump defended his earlier decision to refer to El-Sayed as “Mohammed,” despite facing criticism over the name.
The President said he was unconcerned about the backlash, insisting that he had the right to address the politician as he wished.
Trump further claimed that information recently sent to him suggested that Mohammed was among El-Sayed’s names, arguing that his earlier reference had been nearly correct.
The President subsequently intensified his criticism, describing El-Sayed as a radical left-wing figure and accusing him of hostility towards the United States.
He also labelled the politician a “jihadist” and alleged that he belonged to the Muslim Brotherhood.
However, Trump did not provide evidence in the quoted remarks to substantiate the allegations of extremism or membership in the organisation.
The statements represent serious accusations against El-Sayed, and the claims should not be treated as established facts without independent verification.
El-Sayed’s response to the remarks was not included in the available account.
