Abdul El-Sayed had a savage comeback for a Donald Trump diss ... offering to walk through a metal detector if Trump sits for a lie detector test ... and El-Sayed wants to ask Trump about the president's former friend, Jeffrey Epstein.
El-Sayed was responding to Trump saying anyone with El-Sayed's level of support for jihadists couldn't even get a seat on an airplane -- let alone win one in the Senate. Trump said, "He would be the only senator that will have to go through a metal detector before he's allowed to go into the Senate. I want him to have a metal detector."
Well, El-Sayed clearly heard the prez ... and turned the insult into the most memorable moment of his Thursday rally on the Western Michigan University campus ... hitting Trump where it hurts.
President Trump completely lost it at a reporter who dared to ask him why he wasn't traveling to Kansas, mocking the journalist's weight while calling him "disgusting" and saying he "looked like hell."
The commander-in-chief was in rare form during his press gaggle Thursday after he landed at Joint Base Andrew in Maryland following a campaign rally in South Carolina for Republican senatorial candidate Darline Graham.
While taking questions, Trump got super pissed at Reuters reporter Jacob Bogage for simply inquiring as to why the prez canceled his plan to stump for Republican Senator Roger Marshall in Kansas on Saturday ... with Trump taking umbrage with Bogage for asking him if he was "sick of traveling."
Fox News went looking for a President Trump supporter ahead of his South Carolina rally Thursday ... but the guy they put on camera had a VERY different reason for showing up ... he wanted to see a "cult" live and in action.
Fox News reporter Lucas Tomlinson was chatting with a man named Tom during the rally in Rock Hill, asking what brought him out to see the president ... and let's just say the answer wasn't quite what he expected.
The man said ... "Well, in the late '70s, I was a little too young to get involved and go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre, but this is as close as I'll ever get."
President Trumpand Natalie Harp are getting awfully cozy at the White House ... at least when it comes to office space, with the president's loyal aide reportedly moving into his private quarters.
According to The New York Times, the 35-year-old has ditched her desk outside the Oval Office for a spot inside Trump's private dining room ... where the POTUS watches TV, makes phone calls, and handles business away from prying eyes.
And Harp should feel right at home ... the room is reportedly overflowing with printed news articles and documents, which happens to be her specialty.
Nicki Minaj is taking her beef with Democrats to a whole new level ... absolutely unloading on New York Governor Kathy Hochul ... calling her an "evil woman" as the state's race for governor heats up.
The rapper went scorched earth on Hochul in a series of posts on X Wednesday ... declaring the Democratic Party should essentially give up on the governor ahead of Tuesday's election.
"Kathy Hochul is an evil woman," Nicki wrote ... warning that even if Hochul wins reelection, she'll be trouble for her own party.
And Nicki didn't stop there ... adding, "She will not escape God's wrath. She did not denounce evil when she had the chance."
Cops have denied that a stabbing took place at a midterm rally where President Donald Trump spoke ... and revealed that an officer's knife became accidentally caught in a MAGA supporter's shirt.
Waiting for your permission to load the Twitter Tweet.
In a video taken of the chaotic scene on Wednesday night ... a MAGA supporter sits down on the curb with what at first glance looks to be a pocket knife sticking out of his back.
While social media quickly speculated that a stabbing had taken place while Trump was on stage, the Chillicothe Police Department says that's not what went down at all.
Katie Zacharia is blaming the media and D.C. politics for her abrupt firing as White House press secretary ... and she says she was "perplexed" when Fox News host Sean Hannity grilled her over her legal credentials.
Talking with Newsmax's Robert Finnerty in her first TV sit-down after getting canned, Katie said ... "The media does not like outsiders and Washington, D.C., does not like outsiders."
She added ... "The media and all of Washington made it very difficult for me to do the job I set out to do."
President Trump brutally raped a former Miss Switzerland beauty pageant contestant at New York's Plaza Hotel in 1993 ... at least according to the accuser's account to Congress ... but Trump says it's all BS.
Beatrice Keul made the shocking claims in an interview with the House Judiciary Committee tasked with investigating Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking crimes.
Democrats on the committee recently released a report detailing all of Keul's allegations ... she claims Trump and Epstein preyed upon her and other vulnerable young women, ages 16 to 22, back in the day during the "Donald J. Trump American Dream Pageant," calling it a "hunting ground" for the two men.

Neil Young is suing in the free world... taking President Donald Trump's political action committee to court after claiming it improperly used one of his tracks at a rally.
The singer-songwriter filed the copyright infringement suit against Trump 47 Committee ... claiming his song "Rockin' in the Free World" was played at the prez's Youngstown, Ohio, rally on October 12 without his permission.
While he specifically cites the Oct. 12 rally, Young claims Trump and his team have used the song "numerous times at other rallies designed to encourage Republican votes in the upcoming mid-term elections."
Donald Trump totally lost it Sunday night, going on a hilarious diatribe over Bill Maher, claiming he agreed to have a second dinner with the "Real Time" host because he believed Bill was a "major pothead" and "He's got to stop, it's very bad for his health."
It's the longest post-Trump -- or Natalie -- has ever written ... more than 1300 words. It meanders from anger toward B.M. -- "COMPLETE AND TOTAL LOSER" -- to "The Apprentice" and how he says it was the greatest, most successful show in its day.
President Donald Trump is at it again complimenting butts ... as he just praised Nicki Minaj for having a "beautiful a**" to her face at a rally ... before telling her to stand up.
He said at a rally in Port Huron, Michigan ... "By the way, I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before: Nicki Minaj. That's hard to miss. Stand up. That's hard to miss."
Karoline Leavitt came to the defense of recently fired White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia, calling it a "very tough job" and giving her credit for trying it out while comparing her situation to an episode of President Trump's former TV show, "The Apprentice."
Leavitt -- who was Trump's press secretary before Zacharia -- sat down with Bill Maher on his show, "Real Time With Bill Maher," ... and at one point during their convo, they turned to the subject of Zacharia's firing.
Leavitt pointed out that being a press secretary is a "very tough job" ... and that some say, "it's one of the hardest jobs in Washington."
President Trump goes to bat for Vivek Ramaswamy's outrageous political ad, and calls out Lebron James for dissing the National Anthem. Plus, Christina Applegate's shocking MS revelation and Diddy's new prison life. So, we gotta ask ...
President Donald Trump says Amy Acton's mom calling her a liar should be enough for Ohio voters to back Vivek Ramaswamy ... and he claims he doesn't know a thing about the rape allegations against her ex-stepfather.
POTUS spoke to reporters on the White House Lawn Friday morning ... and was asked about the recent Ramaswamy ad featuring Donna Arthur -- Acton's estranged mother -- calling her a liar and telling people not to vote for her.
The estranged mom of Amy Acton, the Democratic nominee for Ohio governor, just called her daughter a liar and urged people not to vote for her.
What the ad leaves out: Acton and her brother were removed from their mother’s custody after Acton accused her stepfather of sexual abuse at 12. Her mother stayed married to him.
@therecount
A reporter then asks if he simply doesn't care about the sexual abuse allegations levied against Acton's ex-stepfather ... who was charged with raping her when she was a child. Her mother lost custody after the charge was filed.
Instead of answering the question, Trump did what he does best ... berating the NBC reporter and her network and repeating over and over that all that matters is Amy's mom thinks she's a liar.
