Abdul El-Sayed is living in Donald Trump’s head rent-free.
The president can’t stop talking about the Michigan Senate candidate.
El-Sayed has become the top source of complaints from the White House.

Axios reported that the White House has been complaining to Fox News about the interviews they are doing with the Michigan Democrat:
White House officials reached out to Fox on Tuesday to complain about anchor Martha MacCallum’s interview with El-Sayed, according to people familiar with the conversations. On Truth Social, Trump blasted the interview as “softball.”
“Fox is promoting the Dumocrats, not the Republicans and MAGA. They have totally lost their way!” he wrote.
El-Sayed views Trump as such a liability that he keeps inviting him to Michigan to campaign for his opponent, Mike Rogers.
Trump seems to be obsessed with Abdul El-Sayed. Many would even say that Trump is terrified of the Michigan Democratic candidate.
Trump was in rare form during his remarks at the White House Columbus Day event.
The president claimed to have resurrected Columbus:
I feel that I, with some of the people in this room, we resurrected Christopher Columbus. Christopher Columbus I mean, you couldn't even say his name. If you said his name, they'd start writing stories about you like you're some kind of an evil. Now we're very proud, and we have a statue of Christopher Columbus in front of the, one of the most important buildings in Washington, the Executive Office Building right across the street, the Eisenhower Building.
Trump now claims to have the power of resurrection, but he used Columbus to rant about El-Sayed.
