- Abdul El-Sayed criticized Trump's trade war with Canada, warning that U.S. consumers bear the price through higher costs on Canadian goods.
- Pod Save America hosted El-Sayed's mockery of the tariffs, delivered days after the Michigan senator-elect became the first Muslim elected to the U.S. Senate, in reporting dated 7 Nov 2026.
Why it matters: The U.S. consumer is the stakeholder El-Sayed names: he says Trump's tariffs come back as higher costs on Canadian goods. His standing is the edge — the remarks came days after he became the first Muslim ever elected to the U.S. Senate, and he is Michigan's senator-elect.
