🙊 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…”
“… 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.
How the fuck did he go the whole election cycle without knowing even that much? It wasn’t exactly a well hidden detail of Trump’s foreign policy
Oh no, it’s the extremely predictable consequences of my actions
