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.

      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 hope this topic for which numerous articles have been written won’t have the knock on effect of a whole population of people being dragged and demonized in public. Certainly has that vibe to me.

      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.

      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.

    It was a power pyramid scheme. They thought they’d profit from aligning with him. That’s the betrayal the leaders are feeling.

      Trump’s plan for Ukraine is to give Putin everything he wants, and for Gaza and the West Bank it’s to give Netanyahu everything he wants. That’s what Trump has always meant when he says he can bring peace.

    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?

        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.

            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.”

    “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!”

    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.

    Some, with faces made of leopard food, considered the slight possibility of maybe one day starting to consider regretting enthusiastic vote for their own faces to be served as main course at leopard dinner…
