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.

They were living in their own alternate reality where they changed the system by doing nothing lol

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.

Notice those people are silent right now.

They were bots. That's why they are silent now.

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."
