Summary
Arab Americans who supported Trump in battleground states like Michigan express concerns over his key appointments, particularly pro-Israel figures like Mike Huckabee, Marco Rubio, and Elise Stefanik, who oppose a two-state solution and back Israel’s actions in Gaza.
While some voters hoped Trump would prioritize peace in the Middle East, his picks have fueled unease about his administration’s direction.
Outreach leaders like Massad Boulos, who engaged Arab American communities during Trump’s campaign, have yet to secure roles, leaving some supporters questioning their expectations of Trump’s policies.
As an Arab-American myself, I say fuck them. They deserve all the shit that’s to come their way. The dude said it loud and clear “let Bibi finish the job”. I know the Democrats didn’t do shit either, but at least they never said they wanted to deport everyone, which means you’ll still have a fucking voice. You can protest them when they’re in office. He was very clear with his stance on minorities. Some of them argued with me about “nuclear family and religion” and fucking bullshit. Dumbasses, you don’t need Trump to have a nuclear family and have your religion. It just never makes sense to me.
I don’t understand how any Arab American could think Trump would advocate for peace in the middle east.
This is not unique to Arab Americans.
There is a decent amount of Ukrainian Americans who support independent Ukraine, but also think Trump would stop the war and be a better choice for Ukraine. Although it seems that this is somewhat less common than in the Arab American community (I could be wrong).
This is of course complete bullshit. Trump is a corrupt American oligarch with degenerate tendencies. Oligarchs protect their gangs, expand their territory and give kickbacks to partner gangs (e.g. allowing unsafe “full self driving” rules for Elmo’s organization). This is not even a Trump or American thing, this is universal.
With respect to Gaza, the Israeli oligarch gangs have far more money and influence on Trump’s crew. Then there is also kinship ties.
But this was a shrewd move by Trump’s crew. I think some proportion of the Arab American community will become life-long supporters irrespective of what happens in Gaza (I think their concern for Gaza is a bit more nuanced than what one may think at first glance).
Like, by nuking the whole place until the shooting stops?
People kept saying, right up to the election, “don’t vote for Harris because she supports genocide.”
Those people got what they wanted and yet they’re suddenly very unhappy about it. Interesting, isn’t it?
They were living in their own alternate reality where they changed the system by doing nothing lol
My favorite ones were the ones who said to vote third party and when you asked them which candidate, they would say it didn’t matter.
Because that’s how elections are won.
Notice those people are silent right now.
Not all of them, sadly. They’ve pivoted to “none of this has anything to do with me, all I did was tell people to absolutely not vote for Harris. She’s the one who ran a terrible campaign. Also, Trump won’t be all that bad.”
They were bots. That’s why they are silent now.
German jews who voted for Hitler got concerned soon after the elections too. Many ethnic Germans too, but all they had to do was say “ich hab es nicht gewust” afterwards. The second World War has been so well documented. Yet many still haven’t learned anything from history.
It’s fascinating how he didn’t permanently lose the vote of the entire US Muslim community when he, you know, tried to institute a Muslim ban.
(I’m aware that “Arab Americans” doesn’t equal “Muslim Americans” but there’s a lot of overlap.)
“I never thought the Leopards would eat MY face! Even though they specifically said they would and campaigned on eating all faces, I didn’t really think that they would be so focused on eating faces, especially not mine!”
Remember how after 9/11 Republicans wanted every Arab and Muslim dead? Did these Arabs forget that?
Remember the fucking Muslim ban during Trump’s first term? These people must have.
Voters in general have a memory of a goldfish. People vote on immediate concerns and issue. To be honest, if Democrats had a stronger backbone to stand up to Israel, this would not have happened.
Don’t care lol, he’s doing what he said he would. Thanks for voting! Enjoy your prize!
Pretty much my attitude. A lot of us warned what would happen. Then they gave the US house , the senate, the office of the president, and by extension the Supreme Court and a number of federal judges to the republicans. Plus a number of state congressional seats to the republicans.
Reap what you sow.
Yeah?
Trump is not concerned with your opinion.
🎼 Don’t it always seem to go…
That you don’t know what you’ve got, til it’s gone…
🎶 They paved Palestine to put up a parking lot.
You get what you fucking pay for.
It was a power pyramid scheme. They thought they’d profit from aligning with him. That’s the betrayal the leaders are feeling.
Lol and? Eat the shit pie you voted for.
Enjoy Muslim Ban 2.0
That’s what I said and got banned. Poor bastards can’t accept their stupidity. This is from the Palestine forum since they were complaining about Trump’s new pick. Lol.
It’s true that Steven Miller came up with the first ban. The same Steven Miller who has been announced as part of the Trump 2.0 administration. It happened before, you have to be a little crazy to think it wouldn’t happen again.
I don’t wish any negative effects to all the people in Gaza and the West Bank. I do, however, wish that the people who voted for Trump have to experience the kind of pain that the people in Gaza and the West Bank will experience under Trump. All these fuckers are safe over here and won’t have to endure the kind of torture that voting in Trump will bring.
They protest voted against Harris because she personally wasn’t stopping a war she had no power to stop, with the only alternative being the guy who will accelerate that war. They deserve everything that comes to them while I laugh in their fucking faces (at the same time crying actual tears for the victims of their betrayal over in Gaza).
