Trump's planned Michigan visit stirs unique demands from Arab-American community
A business owner in Dearborn puts unexpected terms for hosting ex-president Trumpʼs visit. The city with Americas biggest Arab population shows changing political mood since last election
The nations biggest Arab-American community is getting ready for Donald Trumpʼs upcoming visit to Dearborn MI (which happens this friday). A local business-owner made an un-usual request before agreeing to host the ex-president: Trump must first speak up for peace in Lebanon
Dearbornʼs unique make-up shows interesting shifts in local politics — the city where Joe Biden got triple the votes last time now looks different. Many Arab-Americans (who make up most of the citys population) dont agree with how the White House handles middle-east issues; especially the Israel-Hamas situation which started bout a year ago
The cityʼs political climate has changed since 11/2020 when residents gave Biden overwhelming support (with numbers showing 75% of votes went his way). Now the mood is shifting because of recent mid-east events — making this high-profile visit extra meaningful for both sides: the local Arab-American community and Trumps campaign team
