Sunday, it was Venezuelans in Florida: Venezuelans in the Miami suburb of Doral have been some of Trump’s biggest proponents. Many feel betrayed after he revoked temporary protected status for thousands.
Yesterday, there was a DK story about farmers: Farmers feel the pain of their votes for Trump - what did they think would happen?
Today, it’s Arab-American voters in and around Detroit. From Politico: After Trump’s remarks on Gaza, some in Dearborn, Michigan ‘think we screwed up’
After Trump unveiled a plan to “take over” Gaza and relocate nearly 2 million Palestinians to neighboring countries, two mayors in the region who had stumped for Trump have gone silent. And some Dearborn residents have been left horrified by the president’s attitude toward Palestinians. After Trump made his comments, people in Dearborn are responding “with extreme anger and disappointment with this president who lied to this community to steal some of their votes,” said Osama Siblani, editor of Dearborn’s Arab American News. Siblani, who declined to endorse in the presidential race, predicted that the proposal will “fail” and that Trump is “acting like a leader of a gangster group and not the most powerful nation in the world. Disgrace.” One leader in Dearborn, granted anonymity to speak candidly, described a sense of remorse among some in the Arab American community who voted for Trump or sat out the election but now “think we screwed up but we’re not going to admit it.”
Who’s next?
And when will Republican Senators and Representatives wake up and realize that they are quickly being rendered superfluous?
