Some Arab Americans who voted for Trump are concerned about his picks for key positions

And you expected something different? You get what you voted for.

I guess this must be where the line forms. I expect to see it grow pretty long over the next couple of years.

Just a week after winning a majority of the vote in several of the nation’s largest Arab-majority cities, President-elect Donald Trump has filled top administration posts with staunch Israel supporters, including an ambassador to Israel who has claimed “there is no such thing as Palestinians.”

Along with working people, minorities who voted and thought Trump's corporate tax cuts and tariffs and deportations would stop inflation and raise wages, many Muslim-Americans are going to find out they joined the Leopards Ate My Face Party.

Netanyahu is ecstatic about the leash he had getting much looser.

Buyer's remorse? There's been a lot of that going around.

Amin Hashmi, a Pakistani American in Michigan who voted for Trump, urged him to stay true to his campaign commitments to bring peace.

“I am disappointed but not surprised," said Hashmi, who urged Trump to “keep the promise you made to the people of Arab descent in Michigan.”

He is not sincere. Trump has been very consistent that he is on the side of Israel and against Hamas. He has not been promising all things all people like other candidates.

And the reason the Levant was quiet in the last Trump years was that he had defunded Hamas and Iran. Which Biden promptly reversed, with the results that we seeing now.

Iran's oil business is a direct result of Trump's withdrawal from the JCPOA.

Mr. Trump isn't even president yet and already there's some buyer's remorse? That's unfortunate.

No, it is just the media-induced fanaticism continuing. Some people just cannot get over it.

Iran's oil business is a direct result of Trump's withdrawal from the JCPOA.

You are unaware that Biden released Iran´s frozen funds and lifted sanctions? And opened the money spigot to Hamas via UNRA?

Rocks in their heads.

Pres. Biden did as much as anybody could have done under the circumstances.

Be careful what you wish for.

In summary:

"Trump has always been very clear that he is 100% behind Israel, and that he dislikes Muslims. Now that he has been elected, I am really shocked that Trump appears to be 100% behind Israel and in support of attacking Muslim territories. As a Trump voter of Muslim-Arabic heritage, I just don't understand this."

Add to the Muslim-Americans et al there are already a lot of Trump voters who are finding out what it means to support MAGA.

Trump in Little Haiti in Miami in 2016. "I'm running to represent Haitian-Americans," he told them. "I will be your greatest champion." Some Haitians believed him, and joined "Blacks for Trump." After the election, Trump ended their protected status after a major earthquake, accelerated their deportation, called Haiti a "s-hole country," and is now accusing Haitians of eating stolen cats and dogs.

“I just want you to think about what the alternative was,” said Abbas, referring to the current administration’s handling of Israel's war in Gaza and its invasion of Lebanon. He added, “What did you expect from myself or many members of the community to do?”

That is what happens when you face a Hobson's Choice in this duopoly.

Biden created a horrific mess be re-funding the jihadists and destroying the Abraham accords. Which was not necessary at all, unless the purpose is to either demonstrate ignorance, or start another massive war, or both.

Arab-Americans voted for Trump....SMH

"2017/12/06 — President Trump formally recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and announced a plan to move the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to the fiercely contested city."

Suckers. If anything he will empower Israel to go harder. As for his promises - well, not a great track record on those.

Trump told the people what they wanted to hear with no details because he has none to give. And if he stated what he wants to do then he wouldn't get one Arab vote.

The man got in with a platform of higher taxes on all imported goods, and tax cuts for the rich. He brilliantly called his higher taxes "tariffs" which most Americans do not understand that it is they who pay the tariffs on imported goods. A great lesson for future leaders to use the same ruse, unless the people wise up to it of course.

But Palestinians have not done their people any favors by voting for Trump, they should have gone the other way.

Trump is gull of common sense.

He hates terrorists and sneak attacks (remember Pearl Harbour if you are American ?).

He loves Americans defending Americans (MAGA) not communties driven for their vested only interests.

Muslims, or anyone, pushing their religious agenda against America are not welcome.

Ah, duuuuh, what did you expect? The lesser of two genocidal evils is still evil. Should have gone for Jill Stein, the only antiwar candidate, and the only Jewish candidate.

Anybody with any sense of logic and listen to Trump,know .he is racist trash,his policies will.not put one cent in your pocket,lots of Latinos are facing the reality that Trump will cost the personally by having to take care of relatives children,when their parents are deported, Trump fear Black people, because they have stood up him legally

Jonathan Prin Muslim has the right to convert many who are willing to follow, nobody fear White people in America

Have you seen that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is in talks with the Zionists to develop a mutually beneficial agreement to address their shared threats of Iran and Sunni Islamic extremism?

You gotta know that Trump is all over this development. I wonder if the American Arab community will go along with it? Or hang tough with Hamas?

Too late now to be worried.

Are you unaware that much worse than the gaslighting about frozen funds was failing to execute the snapback provisions in the JCPOA?

Yes, we've addressed the gaslighting about the frozen funds and the pathetic Abraham accords with irrelevant gulf states continue.

Trump and his picks. The "Crazy Gang".

Drain the swamp, fill the sewer.

For the few things I agree with Trump about, I couldn't let the fact that he's a convicted felon, petty, and known, massive, liar, make me vote for him.

I agree with about the same number of things on the democratic party's platform, but not being a liar or convicted felon made the choice clear.

Did the Muslims forget that Trump moved the US embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv? Did they think he'd be pro-Muslim after doing that? Fools.

Lesson: Letting your emotions control your vote is a bad idea.

On day 1, Trump is going to issue mass pardons to everyone doing Pro-Trump things. He will do it again on Jan 19th 2029, to prevent lawsuits for all the new illegal Pro-Trump things under federal law that happen while he is in office this time. He's a lame duck President, so he has nothing at all to lose.
