Muslims who voted for Trump upset by his pro-Israel cabinet picks

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Muslim leaders who supported Republican Donald Trump to protest against the Biden administration's support for Israel's war on Gaza and attacks on Lebanon have been deeply disappointed by his cabinet picks, they tell Reuters.
"Trump won because of us and we're not happy with his secretary of state pick and others," said Rabiul Chowdhury, a Philadelphia investor who chaired the Abandon Harris campaign in Pennsylvania and co-founded Muslims for Trump. Muslim support for Trump helped him win Michigan and may have factored into other swing state wins, strategists believe.
Trump picked Republican senator Marco Rubio, a staunch supporter of Israel for Secretary of State. Earlier this year, Rubio said he would not call for a ceasefire in Gaza, and that he believed Israel should destroy "every element" of Hamas. "These people are vicious animals," he added.
Trump also nominated Mike Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor and staunch pro-Israel conservative who backs Israeli occupation of the West Bank and has called a two state solution in Palestine "unworkable", as the next ambassador to Israel.

And NO!.....I'm not going to feel bad for people who voted against their own interests at all!
I have a friend whose 28 y.o. niece (in New York) voted for dt (supposedly because of her boyfriend). She's of child bearing age! But, for right now, N.Y. is safe in terms of reproductive care. Having said that, what's going to happen if there's a national abortion ban?

(6,940 posts)The problem with America is that there are a lot of people who vote their emotions, and are easily lead on hot button issues.
Muslims and Jews alike were both manipulated by the Republicans, and they did just what they were "guided" to do...help elect Trump.
This also worked well with the immigration issue, and inflation.
Unfortunately, most of these voters never wake up enough to realize how they have been used.
This is how a nation comes to embrace dictatorship. Use fear and anger to demonize your opponents, and just watch the people flock to your side.

(276 posts)when are the various voting blocs going to learn the lessons of those business people who were screwed by trump? HE DOES NOT GIVE A RATS ASS ABOUT ANYONE! there are two reasons why trump ran for president:
1. to stay out of jail.
2. to continue the grift.
neither of these reasons does anything for anyone, unless having an extremely large unlubricated dildo repeatedly shoved up your ass is considered a plus.

Did they forget that one of the first things Trump tried to do in his first term was ban Muslims from entering the U.S.? Yes, I know that most voted for disruptor Jill Stein, but that wasted vote helped Trump. So, I give zero fucks about their concerns. Ditto for all the morons who voted for the conman and just now found out how tariffs work. Let me laugh, while we all march to the poor house.

Why would Muslims think Trump owes them anything?
Trump will do what is good for his rich admirers. And American Muslims, you're not in the rich white male influential club.

Honestly, what ever gave them the idea that the trump version of peace would be anything but giving free reign to Mr. N to finish the job of eliminating palestinian state.

(601 posts)The dotard passed that order prohibiting travel to the US by individuals from Muslim countries on January 27, 2017. For someone to have that much animosity and enact legislation within a week of inauguration should have made an indelible impression to the Muslim community. Potentially unforgivable.
https://immigrationhistory.org/item/muslim-travel-ban/
Instead, the community chose to support the dotard in 2024 with his empty promises. Well, youre finding out in 2025 how far your vote with the dotard. And it probably will be worse.
No sympathy whatsoever.
