Inside Tiffany Trump's husband's meeting with Arab-Americans furious with Biden over Gaza: Is he the secret weapon to get them to vote for his father-in-law?

Tiffany Trump's husband Michael Boulos and his billionaire Lebanese father are helping court Arab-Americans for Donald Trump, using their backgrounds to pursade the voting bloc furious with Joe Biden to back his Republican rival.

Boulous and his father Massad Boulos joined former Trump ambassador Ric Grenell at a meeting with Arab-Americans in Michigan on Tuesday night to make the case for the former president.

They each addressed the crowd of about 40 Arab-American activists from a variety of backgrounds.

'They talked about the election and the need for unity,' Sam Asaad Hanna, a Syrian American activist based in Texas, told DailyMail.com. 'The focus was on upcoming election and they focused on their backgrounds from the Middle East.'

Hanna, who was in the two-and-half hour meeting, said the attendees requested more such events and Michael was open to attending more. Additional meetings are scheduled to take place in other battleground states.

The Boulos family is Lebanese and but Michael was born in Houston and grew up in Lagos, Nigeria, where his father has several business interests.

Massad Boulos was involved in politics in Nigeria. He ran for parliamentary elections in 2018 before withdrawing his nomination. 

The family is now focused on their business interests in the African nation. 

Boulos Enterprises and SCOA Nigeria is a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate that trades in vehicles, equipment, retail and construction. 

But they are enthusastic supporters of Donald Trump.

After Michael and Tiffany got engaged in 2021, Massad Boulous told DailyMail.com  that Trump is 'the best president in recent US history; and the one with the biggest achievements by far.'

Boulos, along with wife Tiffany, is serving as a delegate from Florida to the Republican National Committee meeting this July. Tiffany increased her involvement with the campaign in the last election cycle, making a speech during the 2020 convention. 

The couple lives in Miami, not far from Tiffany's half-siblings Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner and Don Jr. and his fiance Kimberly Guilfoyle.  

Biden has been losing support among Arab-American voters due to his support for Israel in the Middle East war. The voting bloc is essential in key battleground states like Michigan.

A New York Times/Siena College poll last week showed Trump leading Biden 57%-25% among Arab and Muslim voters in five battleground states. It is a dramatic flip from four years ago when Biden won the same group 56%-35%.

Biden won Michigan's Democratic presidential primary in February but more than 100,000 Michigan Democratic primary voters cast ballots for 'uncommitted,' which was enough to pick up two delegates. Many of those disenfranchised voters were Arab-Americans.

The private dinner on Tuesday night was held in Oakland Hills, Michigan, and organized by Grenell and Yahya Basha, a Syrian American physician who is politically active.

Grenell is not formally with the Trump campaign but is considered a contender for a top national security position if Trump wins the November election. 

The Trump campaign told DailyMail.com that 'the meeting was not requested, sanctioned or authorized on behalf of the campaign.'

'The campaign, however, does recognize that Biden's failed Middle East policies have brought death, chaos and war to the region. That failure led tens of thousands of Democrats to vote 'uncommitted' in Michigan's recent primary. The campaign has and will continue to communicate to those voters and remind them that President Trump's policies in the Middle East brought that region historic levels of peace and stability,' spokesman Brian Hughes said in a statement.

As president, Trump pushed for the Abraham Accords, which were normalization agreements Israel signed with the UAE and Bahrain in 2020. 

There were some grumblings coming out of the meeting, particularly about Grenell.

One attendee told NOTUS of Grenell: 'Frankly, the guy — I don't want to say bad stuff — is clueless on the Middle East.'

An Abandon Biden movement led by Arab Americans is targeting the president in the battleground states where withholding the vote could hurt him the most: Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, and Florida.

Hanna said at Tuesday night's meeting in Michigan there were Arab-Americans from all different backgrounds, including those who have supported Trump and those who have supported Biden, but that they all wanted change.  

'We need to see something different from what we saw in 2020,' he said, adding 'I liked the unity in the room and the listening to each other and opening bridges with the potential next administration.'

Trump has his own issues with the Arab-American voting bloc.

In 2017, then-President Trump signed an executive order banning people from six Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S. in what became known as the Muslim-ban.

He referred to Nigeria and other African nations as 's***hole countries.' 

Trump also vowed to 'immediately deport' foreign students at American universities protesting in favor of Gaza if he's re-elected.

But Michael Boulos could serve as a bridge in that area. 

Michael Boulos and Tiffany began dating in 2018. They got engaged in January 2021 after he proposed in the Rose Garden of the White House with a 13-carat diamond worth $1.2 million.

They married on November 12, 2022, at Mar-a-Lago in front of 250 guests. 

The couple met while on vacation in Mykonos in 2018, when Tiffany Trump was studying law at Georgetown Law and Boulos was studying project management at City, University of London.
