Donald Trump says "Why should we suffer the slings" on U.S. aid to Israel and El‑Sayed criticism
“Why should we suffer the slings from lunatics like an El-Sayed when they don’t need it?”

On Election Day, President Donald Trump told Fox News that about $4 billion in annual U.S. aid to Israel would stop after 2026, arguing the country no longer needed the assistance. In the same remarks, he questioned why the United States should endure criticism from Abdul El-Sayed, the Michigan Democrat who won a Senate seat after campaigning against American backing for Israel and the Iran war, while providing aid he deemed unnecessary. Israel featured in midterm politics: the article says Democrats won the House and Senate, while Vice President JD Vance blamed Republican losses on the Iran war and cited voters seeking a changed relationship with Israel. The current memorandum provides $3.8 billion yearly through 2028, and Congress appropriates funds. The article said the political message was that such aid now carries domestic costs.
