We have reached the point in Donald Trump’s presidency where his Islamophobia is so recycled and predictable that it hardly registers as news — but one of his recent posts reached a new level of both cluelessness and racism.

This past Sunday, the president of the U.S. took to Truth Social to share a rudimentary graphic showing side-by-side pictures of himself with Melania Trump and the Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed with his wife, Dr. Sarah Jukaku. The comment over the two photos reads, “Two different America’s [sic]”

You’re meant to look at them and their wives and, I suppose, acknowledge some superiority in whiteness and pseudo-Christianity?

Had Trump meant to describe the vast difference in El-Sayed’s politics or worldviews, he would have shared pictures of just the two of them. His choice to include an image of a Jukaku, who wears a hijab, implies an effort to other, isolate and ridicule. He wants to remind America that El-Sayed and his wife are Muslim — and that that identifier alone should strike fear and loathing into the hearts of Americans.

The image split and assumed burn of a caption imply that we should resist the Muslim monolith coming to get us and instead embrace whatever trope of a first lady Melania Trump has embodied. And this is challenging, but I won’t stoop to Trump’s misogynistic tactics by detailing the reasons why she does not inspire feminist or American pride.

To somehow position El-Sayed and his partner, both public health professionals vocally and authentically seeking to heal their communities, as a less desirable leadership duo is beyond me.

El-Sayed studied medicine but got into politics to fight inequality in the healthcare system. He’s running on a platform that stresses, above everything, accessible healthcare for all. Jukaku is a psychiatrist who has served in leadership roles across esteemed institutions. Both appear to be devoted parents who instill compassion and kindness in their two daughters.

These are the Americans I’m being urged to fear?

Trump’s post further exposes his resistance to anyone who looks and prays like El-Sayed and Jukaku taking up any space in politics. And the ignorant masses of his supporters have allowed for an environment where he can say this without repercussions or consequences.

But as unoriginal and uninformed as Trump’s displays of Islamophobia are, they’re still loud and harmful. Anti-Muslim discrimination in the U.S. has always been dangerous to all of us. And with a president known for his continued attacks on Muslim-majority countries, a “Muslim ban,” and for saying “I think Islam hates us,” it’s no surprise this is the reality of the “land of the free.”

This week, when El-Sayed was asked about Trump’s post, he responded, “Yeah, he’s right,” referencing his claim that the two couples represent “two different Americas.”

“One in which your overlords are two people who don’t like each other, but join in the interest of making billions of dollars off of you — or two people who genuinely love each other, enjoyed some pancakes together, want to come together to build the kind of America where they can raise a family and know that that family is going to have the good things.”
