The mayor of a Muslim-majority city in Michigan says he is endorsing Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election, calling the former commander-in-chief, “the right choice for this critical time.”
Amer Ghalib, mayor of the Detroit-area suburb Hamtramck, announced his endorsement of Trump in a Facebook post Sunday. While admitting he and Trump didn’t “agree on everything,” he said he regarded the former commander-in-chief as “a man of principles.”
“Though it’s looking good, he may or may not win the election and be the 47th president of the United States, but I believe he is the right choice for this critical time,” Ghalib wrote in Arabic on his Facebook page. “I’ll not regret my decision no matter what the outcome would be, and I’m ready to face the consequences. For this, and for many other reasons, I announce my support and endorsement for the former, and hopefully, the next president of the United States, Donald Trump.”
He added: “Now, let the Caravan begin its journey. This is just the starting point.”
Trump reposted Ghalib’s message on his Truth Social account.
Ghalib told The Detroit News that Trump “knew a lot about me before the meeting.”

The Most Revolutionary Act 
Did I not state that no one, and I do mean, almost no damn one besides Kamala Harris wants her ass inside the Oval Office? Any polls stating that Harris is in the lead are vicious lies! In the deepest blue state, folks are NOT voting for Kamala Harris and that’s a fact!!!! It is just to be hoped that Trump manages to continue to NOT get himself assassinated despite that it seems to be just what multiple entities want.

At least Trump (and RFK Jr) are willing to use their public platform to speak about topics (assassinations, untested vaccines etc) that no other public figures are willing to address. I see that as a really big step forward.

Interesting! Muslims here in Europe tend to support all kinds of Socialists, as they are easier to trick …

Trump is the first populist (left or right) to run for president since the early 1900s. He’s drawing support from both right and left-wing populists (many of whom are socialists). There is a whole contingent of socialists in Washington State who were so enraged when Bernie Sanders was cheated out of his primary win in 2016 that they all switched there vote to Trump.
