Michael Flynn, a retired Army general who once served as former President Donald Trump's national security adviser, is reaching out to Hamtramck Mayor Amer Ghalib and the Muslim community in metro Detroit to form a broad conservative coalition.

Hamtramck's Muslim mayor endorses Trump and wants to break "the wall" between American minorities and Republicans.

Hamtramck Mayor Amer Ghalib, the first Arab American and first Muslim to lead the city, announced late Sunday afternoon he will support the former president. Ghalib's post on Facebook supporting the Republican presidential nominee was then posted by Trump on his social media site, Truth Social.
