Massad Boulos (Arabic: مسعد بولس; born 1971) is a Lebanese-American businessman and political associate of Donald Trump.[3] He is the father of Michael Boulos and the father-in-law of Trump's daughter Tiffany. He supported Trump's successful presidential campaign in the 2024 United States presidential election, and canvassed for the support of Arab Americans, particularly in Michigan.[3][4]
Boulos sells trucks at a small company owned by his father-in-law Michel Zouhair Fadoul in Nigeria. He rose to prominence in 2018 when his son began to date Tiffany Trump. In December 2024, Trump designated Boulos his Middle East advisor.[5][6]
