美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在周五的一次竞选演讲中，借嘲笑伊朗总统的机会，拿“穆罕默德”这个名字在穆斯林世界中的普遍性开玩笑。他说：“如果你不确定某个中东人的名字是什么，就直接叫‘穆罕默德’吧——这样成功率大概有65%。‘你好，穆罕默德。’我已经这么做了好几年了，从来没出过错。”穆罕默德是穆斯林中最常见的男性名字之一；许多穆斯林会以伊斯兰教创始人先知穆罕默德的名字为他们的儿子命名。
US President Donald Trump made a joke about the popularity of the name Mohammad in the Muslim world as he mocked Iran's presidency during a campaign speech on Friday." You know, if you're in doubt about somebody's name from the Middle East, just say 'Mohammad,'" Trump told a crowd in Dalton, Georgia. "You have about a 65% chance. 'Hello, Mohammad.' I've done it for years now. I've never been wrong."
美国一些议员就德里发生的拘留事件致信特朗普的国务卿，因为印度方面拒绝了这些指控，认为这些行为属于“干涉内政”。目前，美国的伊斯兰恐惧症（即对穆斯林的恐惧和歧视）正在加剧。

特朗普是在佐治亚州道尔顿市机场的一个机库里举行的集会中发表上述言论的，当时他正在为共和党候选人拉票，为11月3日的中期选举做准备。他说：“伊朗是唯一一个没人想当总统的国家。”随后，他还假装询问了几位名叫“穆罕默德”的人是否愿意当总统。实际上，马苏德·佩泽什基安自2024年起一直担任伊朗总统。在场的佐治亚州民众对特朗普的玩笑反应较为冷淡。
Iran is the only country where nobody wants to be president," Trump said, then pretended to ask several people named Mohammad whether they wanted the job. Masoud Pezeshkian has been president of Iran since 2024. The Georgia crowd gave the joke a muted response.
权利倡导者和穆斯林倡导组织一再批评特朗普的言论，称其妖魔化并嘲笑穆斯林、移民和少数族裔。
Rights advocates and Muslim advocacy groups have repeatedly criticized Trump for rhetoric that they say demonizes and mocks Muslims, immigrants and ethnic minorities.
他在中期选举竞选季节加大了此类言论，尤其针对索马里裔和穆斯林美国人，包括穆斯林民主党参议院候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德以及来自明尼苏达的民主党众议员伊尔汗·奥马尔，后者是以索马里难民身份来到美国的。
He hasescalated such rhetoric during the midterm campaign season, particularly against Somali and Muslim Americans including Muslim DemocraticUS Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and RepresentativeIlhan Omar, a Minnesota Democrat who came to the US as a Somali refugee.
特朗普再次誓言伊朗永远不会获得核武器，此言论出现在美国和以色列对德黑兰发动战争七个月后，该战争部分旨在削弱伊朗的核计划。
特朗普取消了BBC诽谤诉讼的证词：“因国家重要事务而无法出庭”。
美国伊斯兰关系委员会今年早些时候发布的年度报告将美国伊斯兰恐惧症的上升部分归因于特朗普在第二任期内对移民的打压以及对亲巴勒斯坦抗议的镇压。
