He made a passionate nine-minute speech to the crowd, including this expert roast of Donald Trump.
Hasan: The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant. In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to… pic.twitter.com/E6c4v1loyz

It’s not the first time we’ve heard the joke, but it’s definitely the funniest delivery – and the largest audience.

Mehdi didn’t roast Trump, he turned him into barbecue

Nothing makes conservatives angrier than being hit in the face with their contradictions, with a punchline that mocks their dear leader

Oh, that’s a bullseye. Trump probably spun around on the floor for this while his handlers did a quick edit on the poop jet vid. #NoKingsProtest #Trump #Hasan https://t.co/FIGoUstwko

Can listen to Mehdi all day, excellent speaker, gifted orator & wonderful journalist.
Wouldn't argue with him though, I'd end up thinking Yorkshire isn't the greatest place to live.
So much respect for the man, he can probably navigate THE Swindon roundabout.— SeaninRoundhay ⚫@seaninroundhay.bsky.social (@seaninroundhay) October 19, 2025
