“This is a long conclusion that we arrived to. Due to many issues, the reason why we supported … soon to be President Donald Trump is due to some issues … some of the issues are education issues, economic issues, safety, and many other issues,” Fiqy said.

Fiqy said the reaction by so many people to seeing him seated behind Trump has been positive.
