President Donald Trump was having fun during a rally in Dalton, Georgia, at the expense of Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee in the 2026 U.S. Senate race in Michigan, who is running against the GOP nominee, Mike Rogers.
Last week, Trump drew the ire of the left, who blasted him as a racist and an Islamophobe, when he called El-Sayed “Muhammad,” explaining as only he can, “I’m the president. I can call him whatever the hell I want. To me, he’s Mohammed, and he’s a radical jihadist.”
Continuing that theme Friday night, Trump mocked El-Sayed’s name before revealing the Democrat’s middle name is actually Mohamed — his full name is Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed.
“His name is actually Abduladadalalalala,” the president joked. “It’s Adulbabababababa Mohamed Al-Sayed. So his middle name is Mohammed. So I was right.”
Trump: “His name is actually Abduladadalalalala. It’s Adulbabababababa Mohammed Al-Sayed.”

Trump went on to call El-Sayed “a jihadist,” and accuse him of being a member of the Muslim Brotherhood — El-Sayed’s half-sister once spoke about her family having long-standing connections to the organization. El-Sayed has denied the accusation.
As for the name Mohammed, Trump had this to say at the rally: “If you’re in doubt about somebody’s name from the Middle East, just say Mohammed, you have about a 65% chance… I’ve done it for years now. I’ve never been wrong.”
Trump: “If you’re in doubt about somebody’s name from the Middle East, just say Mohammed, you have about a 65% chance. ‘Hello, Mohammed.’ I’ve done it for years now. I’ve never been wrong.”
