The new US President, Joe Biden, took the oath on Wednesday to succeed his controversial predecessor Donald Trump, and confirmed during the inauguration ceremony that he would be president of all Americans regardless of whether they supported him or disagreed with him, indicating that his inauguration as a "victory for democracy."
Biden promised to "defeat white supremacy and domestic terrorism," two weeks after the storming of the Capitol.
The Arab tweeters interacted with these successive developments in the United States, and many of them expressed great joy at Trump's departure, recalling his "bad" stances on the Palestinian issue in particular.
A number of the tweeters also emphasized that Biden’s advent cannot be considered a good opening for Arab and Islamic issues, as he was ultimately elected by the American people to serve US interests first and foremost.
The prominent Qatari journalist, Jaber Al-Harami, talked about Biden starting his inauguration by attending a mass in the church, to everyone's applause, and he asked how people look at those who implement the same scenario but inside a mosque.
Imagine ..
if a ruler in an Arab and Islamic country began his rule by praying two rak'ahs in a mosque, then verses from the Holy Qur’an are recited .. what could be said about this ruler ..?
Islamic militant .. .. .. extremist
.
.
The president of the most powerful country in the world does this ... But in the church ... and everyone claps ...
Here is a greatness ... and there is an accusation ..

For his part, Egyptian journalist Salim Azouz focused on the mass, saying that Biden’s presence in the cathedral and the way many people understand this mean that they do not learn the origins of democracy, as well as true secularism.
Biden in the cathedral, you not only do not learn the origins of democracy, but you learn - as well - what secularism means!
The secularism of Islam Buhairy and his band is not secular

And the tweet, Muhammad Abu Ali, published a video clip showing Trump carrying his bags, while someone kicks him outside the building of the Authority, and commented, saying, "Bye bye Trump."

In turn, the tweet, Maryam Beder, asked about Joe Biden's ability to cancel the policies imposed by Trump on Arab countries, and said that Biden would be "a continuation of Trump's decisions," because they are "two sides of the same policy," as she put it.
What decisions will Biden cancel?
Will he cancel the sanctions imposed on Iran?
What about the Palestinian issue?
What about the rude policies imposed by Trump on Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq !?
Biden will only be a continuation of Trump's malicious decisions, as they are # two_policy_sides

Tweeter Ihsan Al-Khatib stated that the new Biden administration will talk and discover human rights in Turkey and Saudi Arabia, but it will never see this in Israel and Iran.
The Biden administration will discover human rights as to #Turkey and #Saudi Arabia but will be in a coma as to human rights as to #Israel and #Iran.

As for the singer Fahd Al-Ghafili, he said that Trump was publicly insulting the presidents, and those who would use them came quietly and without noise.
The rude who used to declare his insult to the heads of state and their kings overtly went, and the one who would insult them and use them came, but calmly and without noise .. Days will prove that the only difference between Trump and Biden is the method only !!

Immediately after taking office, Biden began a campaign to get rid of Trump's heavy legacy, which began with executive orders to break with the policies adopted by the previous administration, especially with regard to immigration, and the restoration of relations with allies and international organizations.
The campaign focuses on issues, foremost among which is the abolition of the ban imposed by the Trump administration on entry to nationals of Muslim-majority countries, the return to the Paris Climate Agreement and the World Health Organization, and the reduction of the spread of the Corona virus by imposing measures in federal government buildings, including wearing masks, as well. On measures related to movement between states in an effort to contain the epidemic that has so far caused the death of more than 400 thousand Americans and infected 24 million others.
