Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump touts the endorsement he received from the mayor of Hamtramck, Michigan, who backed a resolution passed in his local council to divest funds from Israel.
“I think the mayor is great, and he’s given us his total endorsement,” Trump says in an interview with the Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya network, as he works to secure the votes of Arab Americans in the key swing state of Michigan, with just two weeks until the election.
Speaking of Hamtramck Mayor Amer Ghalib, Trump says, “he’s somebody [whose] got a lot of future in this country.”
“He’s not for men playing in women’s sports. He’s not for transgender operations — the transformation, or the transition into, you know, a male into a female. He’s not into that,” Trump says of Ghalib.
“I think for the most part, the Arab world isn’t into that, and I’m not into that either. But the radical left is totally into it,” Trump tells Al-Arabiya.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
