Trump’s Role in Gaza Truce Sets Off Firestorm Among Arab Americans; Biden Slammed as 'Weak' [Video]

Trump’s Role in Gaza Truce Sets Off Firestorm Among Arab Americans; Biden Slammed as 'Weak'

Donald Trump’s claimed role in brokering a Gaza ceasefire has intensified Arab American frustration with President Biden. Many feel Biden failed to secure peace despite months of opportunity, while Trump’s intervention seemingly pushed Israel to agree. The ceasefire, set to begin Sunday, follows pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu by Trump’s envoy. Arab American voters, particularly in Michigan, express anger over Biden’s handling of the war, branding him “Genocide Joe” and questioning Democratic support for Palestinian rights. Skepticism remains over the ceasefire’s durability. #GazaCeasefire #TrumpDiplomacy #BidenFailure #ArabAmericanVotes #MiddleEastPeace #IsraelPalestineConflict #TrumpEnvoy #BidenCriticism #GazaWar #PalestinianRights #CeasefireAgreement #NetanyahuPressure #ArabAmericanBacklash #USPolitics #MichiganVotes #GenocideJoe #TrumpMiddleEast #BidenAdministration #HumanRightsCrisis #PoliticalShift ~ED.194~HT.95~GR.344~

Trump's Greenland Takeover Dream Sparks Debate: What Americans Think Of Trump's Big Plan| Details

Donald Trump’s controversial proposal to purchase Greenland from Denmark has sparked intense debate across the United States. The former president, citing national security reasons, revived the idea in his latest political moves, despite the pushback from many corners. A recent USA TODAY poll reveals that only 11% of Americans fully support the idea, while 29% think it's a good but unrealistic notion. In stark contrast, 53% of respondents opposed the plan, with the division deepening across party lines — 86% of Democrats rejected the proposal, while only 23% of Republicans supported it. The idea has met widespread opposition, with many questioning its feasibility and the long-term implications of such a move. #TrumpGreenlandPlan #GreenlandAcquisition #TrumpDebate #GreenlandTakeover #USForeignPolicy #Trump2024 #GreenlandOwnership #NationalSecurity #ArcticStrategy #GreenlandDeal #MakeGreenlandGreatAgain #USDenmarkRelations #PolarPolitics #GreenlandFuture #TrumpPolitics Also Read Joe Biden Administration Thanks New US President Donald Trump After Gaza Deal :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/joe-biden-administration-thanks-new-us-president-donald-trump-after-gaza-deal-011-4043751.html?ref=DMDesc Is Donald Trump Behind the Historic Gaza Ceasefire Deal?

Bernie Sanders criticizes Elon Musk’s defense of H-1B visas, said it harm US workers & billionaires

Bernie Sanders has sharply criticized Elon Musk for his defense of the H-1B visa program, which allows U.S. companies to hire foreign workers for skilled positions. Sanders argues that the program helps replace well-paying American jobs with cheaper labor from abroad, benefiting billionaires like Musk. The senator calls for an end to the program to ensure that U.S. workers are prioritized and that corporations no longer rely on cheaper foreign labor.
