(Detroit Free Press) Donald Trump met with Arab American supporters Friday afternoon at a halal cafe in Dearborn, vowing to bring peace to the Middle East if he’s elected, and repeatedly criticizing Liz Cheney.
“You’re going to have peace in the Middle East” when I’m president, “not with the clowns that you have running the U.S. right now,” Trump declared while inside The Great Commoner, a halal cafe run by a Lebanese-American family concerned about Israel’s attacks in Lebanon and Gaza. “They should have peace in the Middle East, but not with the clowns you have. You have people in the Middle East who aren’t doing their job. You have people in the U.S. who aren’t doing their job.”
Trump’s visit is the latest example of a historic election year for Michigan’s Arab American and Muslim communities, who have been more visible at Republican events than ever before.
