US 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,” says 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.

    Muslims: We voted for Trump because Harris supports Israel! He’s not hurting the right people!!!

    Trump: Oh, yes. Yes we are. Now get on the fucking plane. The in-flight meal is pork chops.

    If any Muslim thought he gave a shit after his first run I’ve got a fuck ton of bridges to sell you.

    Taxes and finances would be the only reason I can see voting for Trump, and when you look at his plans those are also stupid reasons to vote for him.

    So basically to any of his voters except the fabulously rich ones… put a quarter in your ass because you played yourself.

    Seriously? What did they think was going to happen with donvict in office? I just can’t even right now. If I thought things would be any better in 4 years, I’d beg/borrow/steal to get on that 4 year cruise…

    Enjoy watching the genocide of your people, you’ll be next, so instead of crying crocodile tears why don’t you do something PROACTIVE about it.

    All the information is on the task card, you have two months, your time starts now.

    Behind door #1: Isn’t as one-sided as you regarding a war in another country that involves your religion.
    Behind door #2: Tried to enact laws that openly discriminate against your religion just a few years ago. And is also totally one-sided against you regarding that same war.

    It’s a tough choice.

      Dems pandered to an Israeli government that was actively campaigning for their opposition. This wasn’t just “your anti-genocide views are simply too extreme for the average American voter”. It was “Netanyahu is funneling Russian money and propaganda into the Republican campaign apparatus while you keep telling him he’s a good boy on national TV.”

      Talk about leopards eating your face.

      They’re way more one-sided about the “war” (genocide) than I imagine the vast majority of Muslim and pro-Palestinian voters are, just in the wrong direction. What part of unconditionally supplying weapons to a country that is indiscriminately slaughtering civilians is “not one sided,” oh “rational_lib?”

    “Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what the hell is going on.”
