The heated presidential race to the White House 2024
I do not want to recount the history of the parties in the United States of America, but I would like to clarify and analyze what the presidential election race has reached recently, that is, what is related to the events of the last week before the elections are held and the final results are announced between the Democrats and Republicans and in the final stages of the competition between them.
About two years ago, former President Donald Trump announced his intention to run for the 2024 presidential election. This comparison in terms of time is matched by the announcement of candidate Kamala Harris of her candidacy a while later to run in the election rally. Two years ago, Trump worked with a focus on his election campaign, specifically in the Arab-American community and in its entirety, especially since Muslims and Christians among them supported the Democratic Party in the previous presidential elections. This campaign is supported by businessman Massad Boulos; the father of Michael Massad Boulos, the husband of his daughter Tiffany, who is of Lebanese origin. It is known that his cousin Michael is the heir to the Nigerian Boulos Enterprises group, which is valued at billions of dollars and works in distributing bicycles. Therefore, Michael's father is the one leading the important file in Trump's campaign. Trump made it clear that his cousin Michael's father succeeded brilliantly in that electoral file, especially in the state of Michigan, specifically the Islamic community, which now supports Trump.
According to American public opinion polls, the scales are tipped in Trump's favor in the swing states. The question is, how did Trump succeed in winning these swing states? The first reason is the social problem in America, especially candidate Harris' support for the issue of changing gender for those under 18 years old in schools without taking permission or opinion from parents, and working to give hormones to help in this process, followed by changing the gender and then the names of these transsexuals, and this is rumored to have happened with Elon Musk's son in California, who turned into a female, without his father's knowledge, which prompted his father, Elon Musk, to move from California to another state that does not adopt the gender transition law in schools, and thus joined the campaign to support Trump, and most importantly, the Arab community in America also rejects this law and practice and thus supports and stands with Trump against candidate Harris, who lost the entire Arab community with all its spectra and ethnicities, and on the other hand, Trump promised the Arab community, especially the Lebanese, that he would make efforts to bring peace and security and stop the war raging today in the Middle East, which apparently will escalate and expand into a regional war if candidate Harris wins the electoral race, according to Trump's speeches.
In his speeches and election tours, Trump praises the Arab community, especially the Lebanese, in America, noting that they are distinguished and economically successful in their businesses and investments in America, promising them to resolve the ongoing conflict and work to establish peace, especially since the peoples and societies there in our region are suffering from the long war. Trump added in his speeches that he will make America great again, America strong and better, and most importantly, stop the flow of immigrants from Latin American countries to America, accusing Harris and the Democrats of having contributed to the entry and flow of immigrants to America, including about 21 million Venezuelan terrorist prisoners who entered the American borders in favor of voting for candidate Harris, which worsened the security situation and spread chaos in some states, such as the state of Louisiana, which suffers from chaos due to the increase in illegal immigration. These immigrants break into homes and enter citizens’ homes, exposing their owners to danger and their homes to destruction and setting them on fire, which resulted in clashes between American security and these immigrants in some states such as the suburbs of New York.
Trump wants to settle the issue of illegal immigrants, especially terrorists, and other files in American domestic affairs include the issue of health and food. Trump wants to impose restrictions and prevent the use of processed foods and food additives in food-producing states, announcing his desire in the future to hand over the food and health file to former candidate Kennedy if Trump wins the presidency, based on an alliance that took place between them. Other problems and files include the issue of inflation and improving the economic situation, as Trump promised that he would succeed in this file, especially since he succeeded in that during his term when he was a former president, and he will try to reduce the price of oil, which will lead to a decrease in prices for the American people and globally.
The most prominent and important issue today is the raging conflict in the Middle East in Gaza and Lebanon, as well as the conflict with Iran, which is currently raging and tense. Regarding the issue and file of Iran, he stated that his position will be clear and known, but he cannot express it now since he is not the president currently. However, he announced that he has strong ideas, and when he was asked before the Israeli strike on Iran, what would you do if you were President of the United States? He stated without hesitation that he would strike the Iranian nuclear reactor. Previously, when he was President of the United States, he stopped negotiations with Iran on the nuclear file, and also withheld funds related to this file, while the Democrats, specifically during the Biden presidency, worked to lift the freeze on Iranian funds and negotiations were held about them. Trump also stated that he will eliminate the bad guys in the region, and that he wants peace to prevail in the Middle East, and he also wants to work on conducting negotiations between all the conflicting parties. On the other hand, he has a strong relationship with Netanyahu and the Jewish community in America, which supports his election campaign financially.
I expect that he will have a fair position for everyone, considering that his goal is peace in the Middle East, and most importantly, that the new Middle East will be based on peace and economic recovery, even after these wars that have lasted for decades in the region, especially the Arab region, which is witnessing an economic decline. However, Trump’s project, which he proposed with Kushner, did not succeed previously, and he did not win the previous presidency either, as the situation deteriorated and the Gaza war broke out, and matters worsened later, and with the situation we are currently living in, with fears of the situation worsening into a regional war.
I believe that if Trump wins and reaches the White House after these raging wars, he will play a role in stopping the war and seeking to resolve the crisis. His victory will contribute to solving the economic problems in America, which will be reflected on the whole world, given that his goal is to reduce global oil prices, which will lead to lower prices for citizens. I hope that he achieves his goals, the most important of which is spreading peace in the Middle East, especially the Palestinian conflict with Israel, which if this file is not resolved, there will be no peace in the Middle East. It is clear based on the results of the polls that Trump has won so far, with 47% of the votes of the participants compared to 45% of the votes of the participants for Harris, but the result remains incomplete and there may be other changes as long as the electoral race is still ongoing.
