As Arab Americans hold back their support from President Joe Biden until he changes course on the Israel-Gaza war, Donald Trump’s “shadow secretary of state” — Ric Grenell — met with Arab American leaders Tuesday night to try to convince them that the former president is a viable option for their community come November.

It didn’t go well.

The meeting — which took place at chain Italian restaurant Maggiano’s in Troy, Michigan — featured about 40 Arab American leaders, Grenell, Trump’s son-in-law Michael Boulos, and Boulos’ father, Massad Boulos. According to two sources in attendance for the private dinner, Grenell came off as unsympathetic to the plight of Palestinians while actually angering some participants by reiterating a comment from Trump’s other son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who said in March that Israel should remove Palestinians from the valuable “waterfront property” in Gaza.

“He repeated Jared Kushner’s statement about beachfront property, which I think floated like a lead balloon in the room,
” one of the meeting’s participants said of Grenell, who was Trump’s former acting director of national intelligence.


:laff: Try to negotiate with literal white supremacist demons Arab brehs.

For one, Grenell didn’t seem sufficiently disturbed by the loss of Palestinian lives, these sources said. Grenell also seemed more concerned about how Arab American leaders in Michigan could help the Trump campaign rather than how the Trump campaign could help them.

(Grenell didn’t immediately respond to a text message about the meeting late Tuesday night.)

The sources said Arab American leaders didn’t leave entirely empty-handed, however. Grenell “promised” leaders that Trump wouldn’t enact a “Muslim ban,” as he called for in 2016, according to these sources. :mjlol:

“It was an interesting and positive meeting because they’re reaching out to our community, asking what they can do to win our vote versus, you know, the alternative right now,” one of the meeting’s participants told NOTUS.


:troll: Good meeting fellas

A lot of people are either stupid or playing a game. Trump is no longer a hypothetical candidate you can paint your fantasizes and aspirations on. He's a known quantity who was president for 4 years. His political stances are not only known, you lived through them. The fact that certain people are still acting like he's a blank canvas is insane behavior.

He's openly stated Israel should wipe out Palestinians and his son in law wants to turn Gaza's beach front into Miami for jews. Neither candidate is going to be good for Palestine but it seems pretty clear Trump is worse.

neither presidential candidate no parties care about the Palestinian civilians, so this meeting was not surprising, America is always going to be blindly pro Israel

Not necessarily...if we're being honest it's just a matter when older politicians die off (since they never retire).

The generation of politicians currently in power are blindly pro-Israel because they're basically stuck in their ways and too scared of AIPAC to even consider changing. When Millennials and Zoomers actually have power to make decisions, the government (at least Dems) will definitely be harder on Israel than it is now.


It just takes a long time for that to happen because politicians hate retiring for some reason and try to stay in office as long as possible.

Ay, we're waiting for you to accept the ban bet you hasbara agent. :ufdup:


These clowns always want to sneak diss. But when you pull up, they cop pleas and juelz.

@Toussaint, I'll post my passport, with my hand on it, and proof of date in this thread. TODAY. But I want you to tag 3 mods and ask for a ban.
If I'm not black, you win and I ask for a ban.

This is a Ban Bet challenge. I'll even show my face and everything to @Neuromancer; he can be the intermediary
