Trump picks daughter Tiffany's father-in-law Massad Boulos as senior Mideast adviser

Source: ABC News

For the second time in as many days, President-elect Donald Trump announced he is picking another family member for his administration, choosing his daughter Tiffany Trump's father-in-law as a senior Middle East adviser a day after picking son-in-law Jared Kushner's dad to serve as ambassador to France.

Billionaire businessman Massad Boulos, father of Trump's son-in-law Michael Boulos, will serve as White House senior adviser on Arab and Middle East affairs, Trump announced on his Truth Social media platform. Born in Lebanon, Massad Boulos runs Nigeria-based Boulos Enterprises, which produces and distributes mechanical equipment and motorcycles.

"Massad is an accomplished lawyer and a highly respected leader in the business world, with extensive experience on the International scene," Trump wrote. "He has been a longtime proponent of Republican and Conservative values, an asset to my Campaign, and was instrumental in building tremendous new coalitions with the Arab American Community."

Trump added, "Massad is a dealmaker, and an unwavering supporter of PEACE in the Middle East. He will be a strong advocate for the United States, and its interests, and I am pleased to have him on our team."

and the Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee is also a Christian

So much for bridging the gap with Muslims and Jews.

"Robbers of the world, having by their universal plunder exhausted the land, they rifle the deep. If the enemy be rich, they are rapacious; if he be poor, they lust for dominion; neither the east nor the west has been able to satisfy them. Alone among men they covet with equal eagerness poverty and riches. To robbery, slaughter, plunder, they give the lying name of empire; they make a solitude and call it peace."
