US President Donald Trump could be in the eye of an alleged tax controversy, but Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden recently managed to score some points with American Muslims. On Tuesday, he used the Arabic phrase “Inshallah,” which means “God willing,” to mislead Trump while asking him questions about his alleged tax evasion.
The incident came in the wake of an explosive New York Times report that Trump paid just $ 750 in income taxes in 2016, the year he ran for president, and in 2017, his first year in the White House. . During Tuesday’s presidential debate, Biden focused on the tax controversy as his main attack on POTUS.
On Tuesday, Biden questioned the eventuality of Trump ever showing his tax returns to the world, despite repeated promises by the latter through debate that he would. “You will be able to see it (tax returns), Trump said repeatedly, to which Biden responded,” When? Inshallah “.
The use of the phrase generated a lot of laughter on social media with many netizens, especially Muslims and Arab Americans who reacted to the now-viral video with joy. “Did Biden just drop an Inshallah?” One user wrote, while another said, “The Arabs have finally arrived.”
Did Biden just hit him with an “inshallah”? Lmaoo That’s all I needed to hear !! Biden Certificate

This is not the first time that Biden has tried to make inroads with the American Muslim community, which is a major bank of democratic votes.
In July, Biden addressed an online summit organized by advocacy organization Emgage Action to mobilize Muslim voters ahead of the presidential election in which he urged Muslim Americans on Monday to join him in the fight to defeat the President Donald Trump.
“The voices of American Muslims are important to our communities, to our country,” Biden said. But we all know that his voice has not always been recognized or represented, he said.
