The Democrat mayor of a community with many Arab-Americans in Wayne County, Michigan, who helped lead the uncommitted movement in the Democrat primary, told Sirius XM’s Breitbart News Saturday that his meeting with former President Donald Trump last week “was very productive” and well received by the community, which traditionally votes Democrat.
Hamtramck Mayor Amer Ghalib (D) spoke with Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle in a nearly 20-minute segment on the program on the heels of his meeting with Trump in Flint, Michigan.
Hamtramck, along with Dearborn and other cities in Wayne County, have sizable Muslim and Arab-American populations that turned out in full force to protest the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war in the Democrat primary.
Michigan was notably where the “uncommitted” movement, made up of Arab-Americans, Muslims, young voters, and far-left progressives, began when more than 100,000 protested the Biden-Harris adminsitration with uncommitted votes in the Democrat primary.
Ghalib said his meeting with Trump materialized in part because many in Hamtramck and these neighboring communities are supportive of him and “the shifting dynamics” he is leading.
“That was the base for my communication with the Republican leadership, which resulted in a meeting with President Trump last week in Flint. It was a very productive meeting for about 20 minutes,” he said.
Trump was accompanied at the meeting by an assistant and Massad Boulos, a Lebanese businessman who is Tiffany Trump’s father-in-law.

There’s only so many seats at the table Amer,
Is you in or is you ain’t ?
Hamtramck, not that long ago, was a town of Polish-Americans. It is a tragedy we have opened the doors to Muslims who destroy everyone of different religions.
What time is the call to prayer in Hamtramck hyphenated American?
Waiting for $$$ from democrats.
Where has Trump lost support? I keep hearing how he is gaining with XYZ group so why are the polls close? Where is Harris doing better than Biden did? White working class?
Hamtramck was the city that banned gay pride flags from being hung on city property. The libs who supported the city council were shocked that any democrats would do that.
Maybe Trump sees areas of common interest between socially conservative Muslims and conservative Republicans.
Trump is doing better with the white working class than he did against Biden. He’s been losing some ground with college educated whites, esp. suburban white women. Some polls also show him losing some ground with seniors, perhaps because they are the one age group that still pays attention to the network news and the networks have gone full propagandist. Trump should really be running some ads about his “no tax on social security” (as well as tips and overtime) to appeal to seniors since the MSM won’t discuss it.
Overall, though, Trump is doing better in the polls still than in 2016 or 2020, so he’s likely gained with more groups than he’s lost.
Don't turn your back toward them because their koran tells them to kill the Jew and the Christian.
