Hamtramck Muslim mayor celebrates Trump in campaign stop and endorses him

Good, but old news! This is huge!

"Former President Donald Trump made a short stop Friday afternoon in Hamtramck, where he called it an honor to have the endorsement of Mayor Amer Ghalib who, in turn, described the GOP nominee's visit to the city as historic.

"As you know, President Trump keeps saying that our country is in decline, and the ship is sinking. So sometimes it's wise enough to sail against the wave so we can get to the shore safely under the leadership of President Trump and that's why I endorsed President Trump in this area in Wayne County," Ghalib said at an Oakland GOP outpost for Trump in the city home to the first all-Muslim city council in the U.S. Wayne County is a Democratic stronghold where its diverse population represents the Democratic party's coalition and the divides tearing it apart, including fractures over U.S. foreign policy toward Israel.

But Ghalib, who is also Muslim, was focused on past ruptures in the community with Republicans. "We had a history of disconnect and miscommunication with the Republican Party and the party of common sense. Now we are here to end that disconnect," he said. "And (Trump's) visit today is to show respect and appreciation for our community," Ghalib said.

Republican presidential nominee and former U.S. President Donald Trump speaks as he visits a campaign office in Hamtramck, Michigan, U.S. October 18, 2024. 

When Trump took the microphone, he promised to end violent conflict abroad. "You know, we all ultimately want one thing. We want peace in the Middle East and we're going to get peace in the Middle East," Trump said. The office where Trump spoke featured signs reading, "PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH." ..."
