Trump Names Daughter’s Father-In-Law As Advisor

December 1, 2024 Trump Corruption, Trump Lies

The New York Times reports:

President-elect Donald J. Trump announced on Sunday that he would name Massad Boulos, a Lebanese American businessman and the father-in-law of his daughter Tiffany, as a senior adviser covering Arab and Middle Eastern affairs. It was the second time this weekend that Mr. Trump offered a position in his administration to an in-law, coming one day after he tapped Charles Kushner, his daughter Ivanka’s father-in-law, to serve as ambassador to France.

In an announcement that did not mention the family connection, Mr. Trump praised Mr. Boulos’s business experience and his contributions to his presidential campaign.Before the election last month, Mr. Boulos played a major unofficial role in the Trump campaign, courting Arab American voters who Republican strategists hoped would support Mr. Trump out of frustration with President Biden’s support for Israel.

The Associated Press reports:

Boulos has a background in politics in his home country, having run unsuccessfully for a parliamentary seat in Lebanon in 2009. He describes himself as a “friend” of Sleiman Frangieh, a Christian politician allied with the Shiite party and the militant group Hezbollah. Frangieh is currently Hezbollah’s endorsed candidate for Lebanon’s presidential vacancy.

A supporter of Trump from afar since his first campaign, Boulos became more directly involved after meeting Trump at a White House Christmas party in 2019. At the time, Michael Boulos was dating Tiffany Trump.

A May meeting held in Troy, Michigan, included Massad and Michael Boulos as well as Richard Grenell, who was Trump’s ambassador to Germany and is a key foreign policy adviser to the former president. Approximately 40 Arab American activists from across the country attended.

Linked to Hezbollah. Will the cult scream?
