Trump and Amer get real close on a flight.
As the world is impatiently waiting to know what are the likely policies of the Donald Trump administration, Muslim American stand-up comic Mohammed Amer got a rare opportunity to know more about the new administration.
Amer, who is of Palestinian-origin, ended up sitting next to Eric Trump on a flight to Scotland Wednesday ahead of his UK tour.
Amer used the opportunity to talk to Trump about the likely policies of the upcoming administration and took to Facebook for a revelation along with a selfie with Eric sitting next to him.
In the post, Amer wrote: “Hey guys heading to Scotland to start the U.K. Tour and I am “randomly” chosen to sit next to non other than Eric Trump. Good news guys Muslims will not have to check in and get IDs. That’s what I was told. I will be asking him a lot of questions on this trip to Glasgow, Scotland. Sometimes God just sends you the material.â€
He followed the comment with the hash tags #ThisisNotAnEndorsement and #Trump2016ComedyTour.
Comments started pouring in as the Facebook post gained a lot of attention from Amer’s fans.
A person named Siraaj Muhammad wrote: “Ask him what they plan to do about the white supremacists in his father’s team and all of them that support his father from among the people.â€
And Sara Wessling commented: “You are a better person than I am Mo. I would have asked to moveâ€, to which the comic replied that the seat was “too comfortableâ€.
