Some Arab Americans who voted for Trump are concerned about his picks for key positions - eviltoast

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.
