🙊 No comment (is also a comment)“Several Muslim and Arab supporters of Trump said they hoped Richard Grenell, Trump’s former acting director of national intelligence, would play a key role after he led months of outreach to Muslim and Arab American communities, and was even introduced as a potential next secretary of state at events.
“Another key Trump ally, Massad Boulos, the Lebanese father-in-law of Trump’s daughter Tiffany, met repeatedly with Arab American and Muslim leaders.
“Both promised Arab American and Muslim voters that Trump was a candidate for peace who would act swiftly to end the wars in the Middle East and beyond…”
Lmao cry me a fuckin river. This is fucking peak leopards-rating-faces territory.
Why did no one WARN me he would DO THIS!
“… a candidate for peace who would act swiftly to end the wars in the Middle East and beyond…”
They never bothered to tell them -how- he would be ending those wars. I guess sometimes the peaceful solution is a bloody one. Peaceful as in there’s nobody left to fight back.
He moved the Embassy to Jerusalem. WTF did you think would happen???
The evangelical community NEEDS!!! Israel to exist because they want Armageddon. — no really.
Yeah. You knew what he was when you picked him up.
I’m just waiting for all the people who abstained from voting against him to appease their conscience to start realizing how much worse things are going to get for Palestine. I really hope I’m wrong, but Trump is already on record about his expectations.
