Looking at their respective platforms, it’s easy to see that President Donald Trump and newly minted Democrat U.S. Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed see America through very different lenses.
But following El-Sayed’s victory in the Michigan primary, Trump did manage to find one area of agreement with the “communist Dumocrat.”
As Breitbart reported, the president’s initial post cited their joint belief that the filibuster should be eliminated as a legislative procedural tool:
In a separate, longer post, the president cast El-Sayed’s position as a warning to his own party, telling GOP senators the candidate had “gone Termination CRAZY.”
ADVERTISEMENT“For our Great Republican Senators, friends of mine ‘all,’ please be advised that the Communist Dumocrat Senate Candidate from Michigan, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, is touting, as perhaps his single most important point, the Termination of the Filibuster,” Trump wrote.
The president spelled out what he predicted Democrats would win if the rule fell.
“If he succeeds, the Dumocrats will gain 4 Senators, 8 Congressmen, many Electoral and Popular Votes, a stacked Supreme Court with 23 Justices, and I will be, sadly, despite the great job we are doing, the last Republican President!” Trump wrote.
The remark fueled some social media discussion:
These dummies can't figure out that Trump will use the system they created against every time. When Hillary have Trump crap about his tax returns, Trump reminded her that it was the system they created.

El-Sayed himself even jumped in:

The Hill added these details:
The comments are the latest in Trump’s push to get Senate Republicans to nix the filibuster in an effort to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act in a simple majority vote.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) has said repeatedly that Republicans in the Senate do not have enough votes to pass the legislation, and he has ruled out abolishing the filibuster.
Trump’s remarks come after El-Sayed narrowly won his party’s Senate nomination in Michigan on Tuesday. The president has launched a number of attacks on the progressive Democrat and argued that his primary win is a “victory” for Republicans.
“The polls were wrong again last night when they said it would be a landslide victory for a hater of Jews and a hater of Israel,” Trump said at a campaign-style event in Las Vegas on Wednesday, later adding that El-Sayed is “full of s‑‑‑.”
Here’s a clip of Trump’s recent remarks about the candidate:
Trump: Abdul El-Sayed—He’s a man of hate. He doesn't love Israel. He doesn’t love Jewish people. He hates them with a passion that burns in his heart. There's not a thing he can do about it because he hates them. pic.twitter.com/MGBw8KUaTm
