In reply to the discussion: Trump Won Over Many Arab Americans in November. Now they are angry, feeling betrayed. "Where do we turn?" [View all]dalton99a
(91,833 posts)12. Well, keep the faith. All Palestinians might end up in a beautiful place in Africa
Mr. Trump recently nominated [the mayor of Hamtramck Amer] Ghalib to be ambassador to Kuwait. The mayor of Dearborn Heights, Bill Bazzi, who also endorsed Mr. Trump, was named to be ambassador to Tunisia.
Dr. Sam Fawaz, a staunch Trump supporter, was among the attendees at the Dearborn event. Even after the conflict resumed this week, he said he was taking the long view and sticking by the president.
I fully understand why a lot of people would be disappointed, angry and feeling betrayed, he said. But the president knows his entire legacy will be shattered if the Middle East blows up even further and we get engaged in another war, he added. So I give him some slack and say, Lets wait and see what comes out of this.

And that's the irony of Trump voters using their faux concerns for Gazans as an excuse to vote for Trump.
