Arab mothers ... they love to make wild gestures with their "small" hands.
Sounds a bit like Trump, too, no? Minus the loveability factor.
1. Trump tried the "bade kassrak" gesture and loved it
Arab mothers are famous for the "bade kassrak" gesture that comes out in full force pretty much every time you see her.
It's especially used during those massive family gatherings and public outings. Trump prefers using it extensively in public too. Coincidence?
2. "Mat 3eedash"
Do not ever think about questioning your mother's logic. You're only setting yourself up for failure.
Her index finger starts making its way to your face ... and there is nothing in the world that will make her stop.
Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
3. You have to trust him, you don't have a choice ... "sada2ni"
Mother: How old are you again?
You: I'm 11 years old
Mother: When I was your age, I was 12. So, believe me when I say you'll regret this.
4. "KHALAS habibi"
And if you're stubborn enough to keep debating, that's when an angry index finger comes out along with a "khalas" to put you to shame.
5. He never forgets anything ... "Ma bansash shi habibi"
Kind of like your Arab mother right?
No matter how many times you apologize for doing something, it will come back to bite you because your mother never forgets.
*Remember that one time when I was traveling and got sick and had no mobile service ... and you didn't even attempt to call me?* she says.
6. "To2borni bmoot feek"
It's too bad Trump hasn't learned to speak Arabic.
Words like to2borne and habibi will come in handy during his public speeches where he expresses his unconditional love whenever he gets the chance.
7. "Ma baghlatish"
Just like your mother. Even when he's wrong, he's right.
Exactly like your mother. Dare you think otherwise.
8. And you're always wrong ... even when you're right
Even if you list a number of facts that prove your mother wrong... she won't admit it.
"La La La hayda kilo kezeb"
9. "Ana sam3ak"
She pretends to listen to you ... so you won't criticize her for being the "worst listener" ever. Except deep down you and her both know she's not going to change her mind, no matter how long the discussion lasts.
Trump's face = Your mom's face (except your mom is a lot prettier)
10. Watching every single person's move when out in public
Your mother knows everything. She sometimes acts like she's clueless for the sake of avoiding answering your questions.
But, whenever you decide to open up and tell her something ... she replies: eh ba3ref as if it's old news.
BONUS: He loves to shake his hips ... just like your mother
He just needs to learn to perfect the "zaghrouta" and he'll be good to go.
