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.
These aren’t people who didn’t vote. These are people who chose Trump over Harris. Only one of those candidates has a platform which is highly likely to negatively impact Americans who aren’t white.
(And before Gaza gets brought up, it is moot: neither candidate was going to end that war).
Well, trump might actually end it sooner by helping to eradicate Palestine completely.
