Trump won 42 percent of the vote in Dearborn, home to the country’s largest Arab-American community.
Third-party candidate Jill Stein took 18%.
Those votes came at the same time as growing anger over the war in Gaza – and unwavering US support for Israel.
Al Jazeera’s Teresa Bo reports from Dearborn in the state of Michigan, which Trump has flipped from Democratic to Republican.

done with all these folks that are voting against their own self interests.
What’s unfortunate is the policies that will only serve those that are to the advantages of the rich and those Trump owes. Others are going to suffer more than you think. The economy is fine. It always was. But if one tells you over and over again something else, you may question your own best interest. Trump gets 30 months before the next election process begins. It’s legally his last term
We will see how he have is in his best interest. What price was traded for moral compass?
Now who is going to tell all of them that voted for T that the ones making the decisions will be Elon Musk, the extremist right wing that will sit at his office and in Congress along with all the super big donors that donated to his campaign? We know how they will deal with that situación and will not be to stop the war.
They have signed Palestinians death certificate with that Trump vote
And now you are all gonna get deployed lol
😂😂😂! Don’t be too cocky. You’re about to be deported.
The President Elect may try to deport legal immigrants, or so it is being said. Goodbye.
You are just sand ninjas to him.
They may have voted or non voted for an annex of the West Bank. I get their grievances, they were in a tough position but the President Elect brought about the Abraham Accords which essentially forced the hand of the Palestinians to prevent themselves from being ostracized by Arab countries in the region posturing to normalizing relations with Israel. Netanyahu showed the map at the UN and the resistance acted.
So they warn kamla Harris and made Trump win. How stupid people can get. The option to select between bad and worse they opted for worse. Prepare of further escalation in middle east. Lol.
Well, now they can enjoy watching Trump Org develop and profit off luxury high-rise condos and hotels on the Gaza shores atop the rubbles and corpses of Palestinians. Tragic irony.
If you think Trump will help the Muslim Community: I have a bridge to Antarctica to sell you.
How did they warn VP Harris when it’s their lineage being annihilated?
Chickens for Colonel Sanders! 🐔
Its OK…..Many Germans voted for the Nazis in the 1930’s…because they hated the socialist . You cannot fix stupid. Elections have consequences…and I shall enjoy watching those.
Disappointed? Just wait til Trump gives Netanyahu the all clear to “finish the job already” Trump is not sympathetic to Palestinians. So you shot your nose to spite your face? Us Canadian neighbours are shaking our heads
Let me remind the Arab Americans the president who transferred the US embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv is Donald Trump 😅
Now all democrats are united with republicans on Gaza, there will be a Trump golf resort. It’s also very personal
There was a path to independence and the Isreali people were still applying pressure to Netanyahu. The day after Trump is elected a top Israeli general (with who wanted a cease fire is canned). This is western privilege at its finest
Imagine throwing the same people you are trying to protect under the bus for a political dissatisfaction 😒. These American Arabs are the worst “activists” you would want to help your cause 🤦♂️.
Good luck to the Palestinians.
I don’t understand the logic of the Muslim-Americans in the United States concerning the genocide in Gaza and West Bank. I heard that the Muslim Americans are probably instrumental to Donald Trump’s victory because many either boycotted the presidential election in the US or voted for Donald Trump because of the Gaza genocide. My question to those who probably boycotted the presidential election and those who voted for Donald Trump because of Gaza genocide is, do they think that potentially hand victory Donald Trump, who have demonstrated his anti-Muslim leaning, will be better for Palestinians cause, or taking active steps to have supported Kamala, who have demonstrated empathy, for Palestinians cause, by talking active step to have supported her during presidential campaign, and potentially to victory? Just don’t understand the thinking of the Muslim-Americans in this regard. Just thinking loud. Your decision, you live with it. It is too late now. You did your brother who you claimed you love more harm.
.
There will likely be long term repercussions and it ain’t the Democrats that will feel it. Brace for impact!
I don’t think you understand what is going to happen now. I’m sad for the Palestinian peoples.
you like many people vote against your own interests you guys as well as the Hispanic population, will be some of the first ones deported
And trump is better for them? Dumb Fs
trump is going to DEPORT all of them,, HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! i know ill NEVER do business with any arab businesses EVER again!! that is until they are ALL DEPORTED!
You hurt her, but you still won’t get what you want! Why didn’t you go to your home and fight for your country! You still won’t get what you want!
Now he’s going to deport them a and ban them
The only winner in this election is the pootin!
We will get closer to peace with Trump rather than Harris.
Let Trump save you now
Arab Americans and Latino Americans are both just severely misguided, thinking that voting for Trump will help them. Trump will make it worse for both groups. This whole “getting back at Biden/Democrats” makes no sense at all.
Muslim Brotherhood is totally Hippocrates
I live in Michigan, and here’s my message to Dearborn. As a black man, you basically told me my rights do not matter. Not only will I not raise awareness or ever protest with you people ever again I will boycott your businesses too. We are not allies.
End the Starbucks boycott and start the Dearborn boycott. Since they decided to collectively punish every other marginalized community in America, including themselves.
Right…. Don’t come asking for help when trump deported your guys
Great ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great ❤❤❤❤❤
A petty vendetta that will ruin the country for everyone . I hope this grievance voters enjoy the 4 upcoming years
Al jazzeera a news network from a country that is not even democratic anymore😅😅😅. The irony
lol morons
Libtards crying.There is no way a practicing muslim will vote Democrats anymore.They are pushing absolute nonsense.
The newly found support for Trump is mainly post election flummery. The leading Arabic influencers backed Harris, as they did Obama and his old acolyte, Biden. Still, there was some real support, which indicates that unshakable unity is a figment of strategists’ minds. Maybe some are repulsed by taking hostages. Maybe some know “from the river to the sea” would result in eternal conflict and death to unborn generations. Adults thinking for themselves avoid death cults, mobs and childish slogans.
Right back at them ✌🏽✌🏽 don’t come crying for help from black people
Sad as it is in Gaza, but don’t set your hopes high for Trump. He is solid behind Israel .
Arabs are not known for their negotiating skills. They have consistently turn down offers of more land for less.
Wow! Netanyahu just bombed Arabs in Lebanon and Gaza, and spoke with Trump 3 times in recent days. And Arabs voted for Trump!
At least they had one thing in common with netanyahu . Trump to win
But you just voted for your own Demise!!!! 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Thinking they’re teaching the dems a lesson. Yeah that smart.
Yall think you’re sticking it to Biden and Harris? The only ppl calling for a ceasefire? Trump said what’s taking so long. And we all know what that means. This is what it looks like when you F yourself 😂😂
By the way Biden and Harris will be just fine and enjoying their well funded retirement life. Like all former presidents and former vice presidents. I’m sure they’ll be at home eating their popcorn with extra butter when Trump does what he does in the Middle East. Yall think your teaching someone a lesson 😂😂😂😂
Dear Arab Americans: “Be careful what you wish for.”
Middle Easterners in general, simply don’t get that the Project 2025’s overall and ultimate aim is to forcibly remove and expel all non-whites from the country, whether they are citizens, illegals, permanent residents, asylum seekers, etc…..themselves included.
They ultimately condemned Gaza to extinction as well as themselves and countless other POCs here in this country.
They have nobody else to blame, but themselves.
Congratulations. Now guess what…
Get them the FK OUT !
Note to Muslim Americans: No one will have your back when the deportations start and when Trump goes all in on Netanyahu’s obliteration of Gaza. You’ve brought this on yourselves. Good luck.
Trump does not want any foreign people here. They should be praying he does not start deporting them back to Gaza.
My friend who voted by mail never received his confirmation. We are in the blue state. Anyone else did not get vote confirmation?
These are the ones MAGA thinks started 9/11.
You will never see him again.
Well I hope the Arab Americans in Michigan are happy. They got precisely what they wanted a dictator
Muslim ban 2.0 in 3, 2, 1…..
I want to know why they’re protesting now, post election. Go sit down somewhere. Actions have consequences.
I’m fine w ALL illegals being deported and reinstate a ban from Muslim countries
GET READY TO FINDDDDDDDD OUTTTTT PALESTINE!!!!!!!! WE TRIED TO WARN YOU!!!!!!!!!
Trump instituted a Muslim ban (his words!) on day 1 of his 1st presidency.
Trump is buddy buddy with Netanyahu and wants him to finish the job. He also referred to Palestine as beachfront property.
Trump is promising mass deportations.
I fear whatever hope they have in Trump is woefully misplaced. I hope, for all of our sake, I’m wrong.
You get what you deserve and deserve what you get respectfully
What’s the Arab equivalent of “Out of the frying pan, into the fire”?
Nihilists
I can’t understand the thinking here.
We don’t want gore Arabs in America ! They hate our country our flag our traditions and they are violent people stop giving visas to this ppl
Trump wants them to work it out themselves and does not want to be a part of it.
Trunk could care less for you people. You messed your selves up!
There is always the lesser of two evils argument.! They voted for the greater of two evils, a white supremacist!!
Arab-Americans are dumb to have voted for Trump. He is in Support of Israel..That is the begining of the end of Some Arabs
Arabs are so racist that if their people are going to be killed they’d rather it be by Trump than some black Indian lady
😂😂😂😂😂 oh the idiocy , I’ve got to be missing something here
They were the one that are Looser. Trump/Republican are stun supporter of Isreal which there vote for Trump can NEVER Change.
Now, are these the same people you hated after 9/11
Are these the people that Trump travel banned
Are these the people that are connected to the 2 billion dollars that the Saudis gave the Don the Con family ?
So confusing
Lebanon used to be a Christian country.Muslim immigrants attacked them and enforced their nation to convert it into Muslim country.Many Lebanese Indigenous people have to leave their country
trump got your vote, and now he’s preparing to send all ya’ll back. SMH You really didn’t think this one through.
They will be shocked 😅
They voted Trump because Kamala was Hindu… not because of Gaza war.
They are totally clueless, thinking they stuck it to Harris. 😂
Do you know that Jill Stein is Jewish
Thank you for helping to bring common sense back to America
Crazy is the word fake Arabs
Now deal with worst situation to u and your people under trump and maga
Wow, these guys have really taught Biden a lesson. Next time that should consider voting for David Duke just in case the incoming administration doesn’t demolish Gaza 100%.
I don’t understand why they voted for him.
He said that it will be a great place for condos?
He also loves Netanyahu?
To all my brothers and sisters in Islam who voted for Donald Trump, notice The president-elect just chose Mike Waltz of Florida to be his national security advisor. Rep. Waltz is a huge supporter of the Zionist Occupiers and tried repeatedly to stop Biden’s funding for Gaza.
We tried to tell you! May Allah (SWT) protect us and grant us all patience
Arabs like Latinos, Blacks and women who voted for trump have sealed their fate.
Did that fool say he listened to them? FFS, he stopped in Dearborn for a photo op. He doesn’t give a … about you or the community.
Lets be honest, does it really mattered who they voted for? Democrats did zilch to stop the gen0c!de Israheel is committing as we speak, pretty sure Trump is going to be much worse for Palestine.
Arab Americans are on the deportation list too 😂
Trump is going to make it worse, I can guarantee Trump will be building a Luxury hotel on Isreal’s new waterfront property that used to be Gaza
Arab is idiots. The land of Palestinians will be given to Israel. Israel knows Trump will not stop them. Us Blacks no longer care about anyone but Blacks.
So you voted for trump?? The most racist and xenophobic USA presidential candidate in modern history?? Go it! You showed her alright 🤡, you showed her and the entire world what a moron you are 😂😂
That’s not the excuse,you have the minority voice,what is your population as Arab Americans.
