     (Begin Perplexity-AI)  The 2024 U.S. presidential election saw an unexpected shift in Arab American and Muslim voter support towards Donald Trump, particularly in areas with large Arab American populations like Dearborn, Michigan. This shift was notable given Trump's previous policies and rhetoric that many had considered anti-Muslim. Several factors contributed to this change:

Dissatisfaction with Biden Administration's Middle East Policy

Arab and Muslim Americans were deeply concerned about the Biden administration's handling of the conflict in Gaza following the Hamas attacks in October 2023
1
. Many viewed the administration's strong support for Israel, especially in the early stages of the conflict, as complicity in what they perceived as a disproportionate response

.

Trump's Campaign Strategy

The Trump campaign effectively capitalized on this discontent:
  • Direct Engagement: Trump's team, led by Tiffany Trump's father-in-law Massad Boulos, launched a successful campaign portraying Trump as a 'peace candidate'
    1
    .
  • Local Outreach: Trump engaged directly with local Arab American leaders and Muslim clerics, making promises tailored to their concerns
    1
    3
    .
  • Messaging: The campaign convinced many Arab and Muslim Americans that Trump would end the wars in Gaza and Lebanon, despite not offering concrete plans
    1
    .

Harris Campaign Missteps

The Harris campaign faced criticism for its approach to Arab and Muslim voters:
  • Lack of Engagement: Critics argued that the campaign failed to effectively interact with Muslim and Arab communities, neglecting basic political outreach
    4
    .
  • Controversial Choices: Sending pro-Israel figures to Michigan further alienated Arab and Muslim voters
    1
    .

Expectations and Perceptions

Some Arab media outlets and voters expressed optimism about Trump's potential impact:
  • Peace Hopes: Saudi articles referred to Trump as "the savior" of the Middle East and "the man who will make peace a reality"
    2
    .
  • Abraham Accords: There were expectations that Trump would revive the Abraham Accords and cooperate with moderate Arab countries
    2
    .

Caveats and Skepticism

Despite the shift, there are important caveats:
  • Protest Vote: Some analysts view this support as a protest against the Biden administration rather than an endorsement of Trump's policies
    3
    .
  • Skepticism: Both pro-Israel voters and some Arab American backers are skeptical about the durability of this coalition
    3
    .
  • Historical Context: Trump's previous anti-Muslim rhetoric and policies, such as the travel ban on predominantly Muslim countries, remain a point of concern for many

    .
While Trump made significant inroads with Arab American and Muslim voters in 2024, it remains to be seen whether this support will translate into long-term alignment or if it was primarily a reaction to specific circumstances surrounding the 2024 election.

RED FLAG
Checkpoint Charlie: NATO, Article 5 and the Berlin Wall
There was no North American Treaty Organization, NATO, immediately following the close of World War Two. By the close of the decade, due to pressure from the Soviet Union, particularly in Germany, the alliance was formed with 12 initial members. The concept of “collective security” had been around for over 30 years, at least on the Continent, with respect to the World War One League of Nations; neither the United States nor the Soviet Union were members.

Red Flag: The U.S.-Japan Security Pact of 1960
The recent statement by the White House concerning a “bilateral” treaty between the United States and Japan from 1960 raised the issue of the former’s lack of a security-military commitment, with the latter doing the heavy lifting. It comes as no surprise in light of other treaties such as NATO in Europe with the U.S. again carrying The Weight.
Part and parcel to how it all unfolded had to do with certain ambiguous positions by the two nations coupled with the American public not totally informed of the agreement. The situation was quite different in Japan. (09 March 2025)
