Donald J. Trump won the presidential election in the morning of November 9th of 2016. Do people really know the candidate they voted for? Many supporters of Donald Trump choose not to feed into the negative issues surrounding him.

 Saleh Alnafil, a Clinton supporter was confused when asked about some of the bills Hillary voted for. “I believe Hillary has done some things, but she will do more harm than good for the Arab-American Community.” When asked about the emails, he had the most details about it. “I think voting for Hillary was the right choice to make, because of her views.” He concluded. At the end of the interview Alnafil’s view on Clinton didn’t change.

However, liberals and independent felt cheated. Specifically Hawraa Albarakat, a Jill Stein supporter. She thought that other parties didn’t get enough time in the media. She said other candidates besides Republicans and Democrats never win because of everyone’s attention on the main two.

“Media attention means recognition on what the candidate’s views are, who they are on the ballot, what they want to change, but other parties received none, and that to me is unfair. Unfortunately, Jill Stein was a great candidate. I was hoping there would be changes done instead of setbacks.” She said, referring to Donald Trump’s supporters and harsh words.

After Trump’s discrimination against Muslims, there are still Muslim-Americans that support him. Such as, Nedal Tamer. Tamer is resident here in Dearborn. While others might disagree on his views, he is politically open on which candidate he favors. “If you love this country, then you support this man.” He said, referring to Trump. When asked about Trump’s rape allegations, questions were left unanswered.

Many people recall events in history currently happening in America. We are divided, but there is one race- the human race. Donald Trump is not the right leader to join the divisions together. He has put a difference between man and woman, he has put a difference between African Americans and Americans, as well as Hispanics and Americans, Muslims and Americans, disabled people and the American people. Many people believe that Donald J. Trump isn’t the right candidate for Dearborn. Over one million people in Wayne County know that.
