President Trump still has time to change course. Although he cannot bring back the untold number of Palestinians and Yemenis who have been slaughtered with US weapons over the past month, he can once again force an end to the genocide, stop bombing Yemen, complete negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program without launching a new war, and refocus his immigration crackdown on violent criminals, not college students who dared to criticise a foreign government’s war crimes.
Regardless of what president Trump does next, Muslim voters will likely maintain their political flexibility heading into the 2026 midterms and the 2028 elections, judging candidates by their stances and not their political party–come what may.
