US Donald Trump Administration: Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris in the recent presidential election in America. He became the 47th President of the country. This is the second time that Trump has won the presidential election. After winning the election, Trump is in action mode and is appointing many people to different posts for the new term. Now he has added the name of Lebanese American businessman Massad Boulos to this list. He is the father-in-law of Trump’s daughter Tiffany. He was selected last Sunday (December 1) as a senior advisor on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs in the Trump administration.
Boulos was instrumental in rallying the Arab American community in Michigan in support of Trump. For this, he held dozens of meetings in areas with large Arab American population. Because of this, Trump was greatly helped in winning Michigan and other swing states. This also includes the majority Arab American city Dearborn Heights, where Trump won a resounding victory.
Regarding the nomination of Massad Boulos, Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social that he has been a long-time supporter of Republican and Conservative values, which are part of my campaign. He played an important role in building new alliances with the Arab American community.
What a great choice . The Lebanese people are celebrating this appointment, Proud of you Massad Boulos ! Congratulations 🎊 pic.twitter.com/xT37L4OqD6

Massad Boulos has made big demands
Boulos has previously sought to work on issues related to Lebanon. Let us tell you that among the other people selected by Trump for key national security posts, there are people who are staunch supporters of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump’s pick for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had advocated rebuilding a Biblical Jewish temple on the site of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, one of Islam’s holiest sites.
Contribution of families in Trump’s politics
Trump has long appointed his family members and their relatives to key positions. This time also there are indications that he will run his second administration in a similar manner. In this sequence, he announced on Saturday that he can serve as ambassador to France for Jared Kushner’s father, real estate developer Charles Kushner.
