Somali leaders in Minnesota endorse Trump for president

A group of Somali leaders in Minnesota on Saturday endorsed GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump for president during a press conference. 

The press conference lasted for almost an hour during which more than 10 leaders spoke on why they supported the 45th president for another term. 

Among the issues discussed were public safety, educational opportunities and the economy. 

“Our conditions are horrible. We can’t afford anything as working class and middle class people," Somali leader Mohamed Ahmed said during the press conference. "Now please understand this, we love our brothers and sisters who are Democrats, but you left us.”

Another leader discussed how he no longer supported the Democratic Party as it had become the party of billionaires and war. 

Another leader said that he was supporting Trump because he said he would stop the ongoing war in the Middle East between Hamas and Israel. He also praised Trump's past accomplishments. 

"Under Donald J Trump the economy was a lot better than what we have right now," he said. "We are being lied to [about] inflation rates, employment rates, education rates and housing rates. This is not acceptable."
