He believes Trump will be one of the best President's in US history.
Social activist Faisal Derie voted for Obama twice, but this year, he went for Trump.
"I believe he would be one of the best presidents of the United States history, if not the best. I am expecting him to really do well as a president and get along with the world and the Democratic leaders," Derie said, adding, "Since he is [a] businessman and not from [a] political background ... I think he would feel the pain of the poor people."

As a Somali man who actively practices Islam, Faisal Derie does not necessarily seem like he would support the loud-mouthed candidate. His disdain for the democratic candidate’s foreign policy and domestic agenda led him to believe that he was making the right decision.
According to Faisal, the democratic party and its candidates only look for votes and they only know how to show sympathy and that is how they gain the new immigrants votes, including the newly arrived Somali American community. Faisal continued to say, “Our small businesses are not sustainable right now and the republicans are good for small businesses”.
Also, Derie thinks the values of the Somali community aligns well with the republican party. We should stop the idea that if we don’t get welfare assistant, we will all die, he stated. He continued to say, “The most needed elders and families who are eligible during the transition period should get the help they need, but not young people and adults who can earn income with dignity through employment or create their own businesses”.
Faisal Derie, who is well known within the Somali American community in the Twin Cities, believes president elect Donald Trump will be good for the county, improve the economy and as a president he is not thinking about personal financial gain. “Infact, no one financed his campaign, he fought the establishment and that is why both political parties did not want him to win the election”, Derie said.
Some may recall that President Elect Donald Trump offended the portion of the populace that is Somali-American when he insinuated that it was their fault crime rates were up in the state. There are, of course, several things about this accusation that are unfounded. First and foremost, the crime rates in the state of Maine had actually gone down since the influx of Somali immigrants in the 1990s, and the police from several different cities throughout the state attested that no one from the campaign had requested information in regards to crime rates at all. Despite the negativity that this instance carries with it, Derie still did not think that voting for Hillary Clinton was a beneficial alternative.
