Mayor of only Muslim-run city in US endorses Trump for election (Al-Jazeera)

Not necessarily a reliable source, but very influential in the Arab world.

The mayor of the only city in the United States with an all-Muslim government has endorsed former President Donald Trump for November’s presidential election.

Amer Ghalib, who leads the city of Hamtramck in the crucial battleground state of Michigan, said on Sunday that the Republican candidate is a “man of principles” and “the right choice”, despite their disagreements on some issues.

“President Trump and I may not agree on everything, but I know he is a man of principles,” Ghalib said in a post on Facebook.

...

I smell mendacity. Being a Trump politician is its own religion.
I wonder how things are tending in Dearborn?

[Historic NY]

1. Dancing with the devil I hope he make his wish to deport muslims reality.

starting with Hamtramck

[Pinback]

2. Endorsing Netanyahu's pick -- well ok then.

Let me know how that works out for you.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

3. Cutting off his nose to spite his face

[AZJonnie]

4. Follow the money

Or perhaps, the appointment promises. This is really unbelievable stuff. Also, a man of principles ... stop it your killing me

[Cha]

5. He's Dumb as a Bag of

of Crap. Saying "TSF is a man of Principle" WTF and not knowing or caring what he & Bibi will do to Gaza.

Don't get much dumber than that.

[SocialDemocrat61]

6. He also endorsed Trump in 20

So no new news here

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

7. Do Muslims have any clue about Trump?

Do they REALLY think he's going to be good for them? Do they not hear what he says about deporting the 30 million* illegals here? Do they not understand that he really doesn't give a flying fuck about them, about Islam, about anyone who isn't a narrowly bigoted misogynist. Twenty minutes after he's sworn in, he'll be having cops pick up anyone and everyone they can, put them in pick-up trucks, and drive them to the border.

*Really only about 11-12 million.

8. With his endorsement he thinks

he will be spared trumps usual treatment of Muslims. Betting his fate on the backs of the rest. Nice guy.

[MacKasey]

9. The mayor got paid, maybe even a watch

[Botany]

10. So he endorsed the man who imposed a ban on Muslims coming to America, the man who supported

… moving the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, and called Muslims terrorists and animals?
Btw Harris already has the endorsements of prominent Muslims and Muslim associations.


How much was he paid?

[Qutzupalotl]

11. Principles? Name ONE.

[Wonder Why]

18. He must have had one back in kindergarten! 😁

[sakabatou]

12. Chicken for Col. Sanders

[Duncan Grant]

13. One Muslim ban, coming right up (again). (nt)

[Mysterian]

14. What a stupid asshole!

I hope they vote his ass out for this.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

15. He's a far-right anti-Black, homophobic antisemite, so this endorsement, which he made several weeks ago, tracks.

[Demovictory9]

16. Saw a youtube about the city..only city to have banned the pride flag

Youth running around attacking the pride flag

[intheflow]

17. Was this guy in the US when Trump decided to expel Muslims in 2017?

Good luck being a religious minority in another Trump administration! This guy is exactly as stupid as women voting against their own interests to "own the libs." MORONS!!

[BannonsLiver]

19. Misogynist and a twit.

[Liberal In Texas]

20. Hey fella, he gets elected and there's a pretty good chance he'll deport you somewhere.

I don't care if you're a citizen or not or how much you suck up to him.

[NickB79]

21. That town is a veritable craphole

They literally passed a law banning the LGBT flags from city property because they're so fundamentalist.

[EllieBC]

22. He's a known homophobe.

He and his all male all Muslim council banned pride displays on city property.
