Houston Chronicle - Nhat Nguyen stood Sunday morning on a sidewalk on Bellaire Boulevard with a bullhorn in one hand and phone in the other. “Go Trump!” he shouted while live-streaming to Facebook a parade of honking cars bedecked in Trump flags.

In 2016, South Asian Americans showed the strongest support for Hillary Clinton, with 84% of Indian Americans voting for the Democrat and 14% siding with Trump. In a shift left, 65% of Vietnamese Americans voted for Clinton and 32% for Trump, according to an exit poll conducted by the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund. . .
