Newly elected US President Donald Trump has appointed his daughter Tiffany’s father-in-law as adviser on Middle East affairs. Trump announced on Sunday the appointment of Lebanese-American businessman Massad Boulos as senior adviser for Arab and Middle East affairs. Burrows is a close friend of Trump. Trump’s daughter is married to Burrows’ son.
Samadhi campaigned for Trump
Burrows supported Trump during the election to appeal to Michigan’s Arab American community. During the campaign, he was angered by Democratic President Joe Biden’s support for Israel’s attacks on Gaza and Lebanon, holding dozens of meetings in areas with large Arab-American populations.
Trump won in these places
Let us tell you, Donald Trump won in Dearborn Heights, a predominantly Arab-American city, and he also won in Michigan and other key states. Among other things, Trump nominated Mike Huckabee as U.S. ambassador to Israel, who rejects the establishment of a Palestinian state in Israeli-occupied territories.
Tiffany is married to Massad’s son, Michael.
Massad Boulos’ sons Michael and Tiffany got engaged during Trump’s first term. The engagement ceremony took place in the White House Rose Garden, followed by a grand ceremony at the Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida in November 2022.

Trump nominated Pete Hegseth as defense secretary, who advocates rebuilding a biblical Jewish temple on the site of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, one of Islam’s holiest sites.
