Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed of Michigan responded to Donald J. Trump by offering to walk through a metal detector daily if Trump agrees to take a single lie detector test. Just a hunch: Only one of them will pass, and it won't be Trump.

El-Sayed just walked into that rally and handed Trump a challenge he wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole.

"And then, here's the thing, I don't know if you saw this," El-Sayed said. "Just recently he said, he said that I should have to go through a metal detector."

"That's alright, man. He took that Wolverine thing seriously; he knows I got claws," he continued. "But here's the deal, Donald, listen, I'll go through a metal detector if you'll sit for a lie detector."

"Simple, I got nothing to hide; you've got so much to hide," he said. "My first question, Epstein. Second question, did you win the 2020 election?"

"So that's the deal," he added. "I'll go through a metal detector every day; you sit through a lie detector one time. That's the deal."

How will Trump respond to that? Call him un-American, a terrorist, a plant from a rival country? Nah, Donald will cry into his MyPillow in a fetal position in the corner.
