Jack R. Davtean

Jack Robert Davtean is an American politician and 46th president of the United States.

Background
Jack Robert Davtean (Յակոբ Ռոբերտ Դավթեան) was born in Watertown, Massachusetts to Ani Galustyan and Robert Davtean. His mother, Ani Galustyan was an Armenian immigrant from Artsakh, whose family left in 1990, when the Artsakh War broke out. His father comes from a line of genocide survivors, including Jack Robert Davtean's great grandfather, Ruben Davtean, who escaped to Watertown in 1916. Davtean worked at a rug shop, Giragosian Oriental Rugs, run by his family on his father's side.

Presidency
Davtean's term as President was rocky, and nearly brought the United States to war with the People's Republic of China, after a US vessel, the USS Montgomery, was struck.

Racism
Davtean was accused of being racist towards Chinese people due to his comments during a rally where he said that Republicans had to band together "to save our Union from those who would wish to divide and conquer it. Like the Chinese, who have their nasty, dirty tentacles, in every facet of American society." Among those most upset was UCLA Director of the Center for Critical Race Studies, who accused Davtean of "harkening back to the era of racist analogies and descriptions."

Homophobia
Davtean's statements on Twitter that "democrats keep catering to the gays and not to the American people as a whole" earned the ire of many, for the blunt homophobia in the statement. Robert Maynard, BU professor, is quoted as saying that "Davtean is an unapologetic homophobe. His rhetoric solely emboldens bigots world-wide... his assessment that 'gays' only live in San Francisco only drives the homophobia that resulted in Matt Shepard's lynching."
