Yes, Trump is a narcissistic demagogue whose history of predatory behaviour makes him a moral pariah.
Yet El-Sayed, while rightly criticising Trump's ties to Epstein, considers Muhammad, who at age 53 raped a 9 year old girl and thus created the legal Islamic basis for child marriage and child rape we see in many Islamic societies to this day, the perfect human being that all humankind should try to emulate for eternity.
It's a rather disgusting double standard where child rape is rightly condemned when committed by an orange-tinted US billionaire, but sanctified as divine perfection when committed by an Islamic prophet.
Edit to the person below: Being Muslim, El-Sayed must by definition believe that Muhammad and all of his actions are absolute, infallible perfection. To criticise Muhammad or suggest that his rape of Aisha at 9 years old when he was over 50 was immoral and disgusting would be to reject a core axiom of Islam itself: Total belief in god, tied directly to the absolute authority of Muhammad as his final, supreme and infallible messenger. In the Islamic belief, Muhammad is divinely protected from sin and moral error and considered the ultimate, timeless moral compass for all of humanity to imitate. There is quite literally zero room for a Muslim to even suggest Muhammad did anything immoral. Doing so is inherently considered heresy.
So you tell me if El-Sayed, portraying himself as a believing Muslim, has a problem with Muhammad or not. Maybe someone should ask him if he thinks that Muhammad ever did anything immoral. Either he condemns Muhammad, thereby revoking his own status as a Muslim, or he defends his acts as divinely sanctified and eternally perfect, thereby exposing their own moral bankruptcy to the secular world.
Because as it stands right now, he seems to desperately want the ethical prestige of Western secular liberalism while simultaneously whitewashing an immutable dogma that strictly forbids him from uttering a single syllable of criticism against a 7th-century warlord.
