An Arab American voter based in Dearborn, Michigan explains why he voted for Donald Trump on Election Day, adding that “if it was my choice, I wouldn’t vote for either one of them.
“They both suck. But the person I think can help me as someone that runs a business, that’s Trump,” said Mohsen Harb, 22, told The New Arab.
Harb doesn’t believe either candidate will be good for Lebanon or Palestine, but thinks Trump, for whom he also voted in 2020, will at least be better for the US economy.
“I want things to get better here, for people to have some money to be able to live, to eat. [Biden and Harris] gave more money to Israel to f***ing blow up kids instead of giving to people that had their homes destroyed in hurricanes,” he said.
“They care more about them than the American people, and I feel like Trump cares more about people here than people there.”
Harb works at his family’s auto shop in Detroit, and said the last four years under Biden/Harris have been difficult for the business.
“People just don’t have the money. People come in and they don’t have $10 to plug their tire. Everything’s gone up. Rent, gas, everything.”
“If Trump wins or Kamala, at this point, things don’t look any better for Arabs. … But I honestly think [Trump] would help with things overseas a lot more than she would.”
“At the end of the day, Netanyahu’s going to do what he wants, and it’s not in either of their control. But Biden hasn’t even asked him to stop.”
