Why are Trump voters in Dearborn saying they regret their vote?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
We're hearing these stories across the country, voters for Trump now saying, we screwed up, we made a massive mistake, and we're hearing this very loud in the Dearborn, Michigan area, with the Muslims or Arabs for Donald Trump or the Palestinians for Trump, not just in Dearborn, but across the country. Take a look at this article from Politico. After Trump's remarks on leveling Gaza and permanently occupying it by the United States military and building what Trump resorts there or something, people in Dearborn, Michigan think, quote, we may have just screwed up. It goes on to quote various uh leaders in the Arab community there who say this is worse than their wildest worst ex uh Expectations, um, but they still claim that they think they did nothing wrong necessarily because they say they really had no choice to but to support Donald Trump, which doesn't make sense, or to just be non-committed.

Most gut-wrenching FAFO f around and find out Muslim Trump voters ask Democrats. The nation is falling apart, Democrats. We need your help. Can you do something? We can talk about some of the non-committed voters, some of the uh Trump voters, what they're saying. Let's take a look at some of the Trump voters in Dearborn, Michigan, some of the people who supported him, invited them into the community, cheered them on, put their arms around him. Anderson Cooper did a pretty decent job here. Uh Uh, one of his reporters was in Dearborn, Michigan to talk to Arab Americans about the proposal to level Gaza and then occupy it by the United States military. Let's play this clip right here. Let's play it.

Election, Donald Trump was the invited guest at the Great Commoner Restaurant in Dearborn, Michigan. Alberta Baas says he extended that invitation, a decision he is now reflecting on given all that has happened in the last twenty-four hours. Many in the community are a lot at a loss for words. Last night was a very rough night for most of us. Abbas is Arab American and one of a number of democrats who voted for Trump. Abbas says he hoped Trump would do more than President Joe Biden did to help Palestinians suffering in Gaza. The US will take over the Gaza Strip. But after Trump said Palestinians should leave Gaza so it can be redeveloped, Abbas says not only does he feel betrayed, he's hearing from a number of people angered over
Unknown 2:39
his past support of Trump. People were really, really frustrated. Um, and I don't think there's anyone to blame. At the end of the day, um, as Arab Americans or Muslims, we really didn't have much of a choice.
Ben Meiselas 2:55
Now let me show you this clip right here. This is Osama Sablani, a non-committed voter. He voted for neither of the parties and suggested to people that was the best way to go. Here he says, and this was from August 19th of 2024, where he says they have no choice, but don't vote for either party. Although most of the people in Dearborn ended up voting for uh Donald Trump and a Yeah.
Unknown 3:22
Let's play it. There is another choice that we can sit home and this is what most of the people are going to be doing sitting home and not going out to vote. Is that the right thing to do? Of course not. But what choices do we have? You tell me.
Ben Meiselas 3:36
So now let's take a look now what Osama Sablani's reaction is.

What did Arab‑American community leaders say about Trump’s Gaza plan?

Ben Meiselas 3:40
This is from CBS morning and saying that while we expected Donald Trump to be the worst, that's not exactly what you said in the other interview. You say now that he's exceeded, you are shocked that he's even exceeded your worst expectations. Play it.
Unknown 3:56
Фром Донал Трамп до Ворс. But he is shocking us of how worse he can be.
Ben Meiselas 4:03
Here's another important clip I want you to play here, but I I want you to I want to show you here at the end. Pay attention, though, to this uh Trump voter who is only ranking Donald Trump a C or C minus. She says, listen carefully, because she says even though Donald Trump says he wants to level it and occupy it and have Israel take it over and ethnically cleanse the Palestinians. Palestinians and Arab population, even though Trump is saying those words, she says it's only a C that she's grading him.
