Well, his son-in-law has to do something with his time, and turning Gaza into Atlantic City East seems just the thing. Besides, think how cool this will sound in Hebrew:

If there is one thing I've learned in life - is not to try to fix thousands of year old beef between religions. Ain't going to happen - especially when every party believes they are the chosen race

Hold your horses on the Donald!.....He mouths off a lot, and then sits down for the negotiations. He is a business man, and not a philosophical wonder, for sure, but he now knows we have to get rid of these evildoers. There are 2600 programs and agencies out there that no one really knows what they do, and the average government worker works 3 day a week at home under Biden, if they work at all. I have had friends admit it to me that are in government. We are a bloated mess, and have been since about 2004, and it cannot be done with in 4 years. I will be happy if they get rid of the Department of Education (evil), and most of the 3 Letter agencies that spy on us, and waste money and time. We need to reclaim the Panama Canal from China's interference, and stop Transgender surgeries on kids as young as 5 years old. Trump will do that.

I choose to sit back and watch the movie. Trump is just ushering in the prophetic beast system. The false peace in the Middle East will single the beginning of the end times. Quite fascinating to watch it all come into being knowing that the body of Christ will escape the wrath that is coming on this fallen world.

I agree, the Levantine riviera was already in Lebanon and Israel already ruined it

Yes it is wild. But Trump has done this type of “outrageous” deals in his business dealings many times. Read “Art of the Deal” and you will see this is a tactic he has used before. Call it a head fake, distraction, misdirection or similar term. He will propose a seemingly crazy idea to take your attention away from his real objective. Then when the naysayers are going crazy he puts his real plan into action.

If you hold your fire a bit I think you’ll be in for a pleasant surprise. After all he is quite a showman and has a lot of fun with that identity.

On the last podcast I asked if it's OK for the US to take over Greenland, Panama and Canada, is it OK for China to take over Taiwan.

This just confirms it!

Between sanctions and tariffs etc this presidency is simply confirming every thing that the world outside the US thinks about Amerika!

Don't be surprised if the BRICS proceed with their own currency...

If you study history, it's evident that any country or kingdom of influence has made plays to expand their dominion.

Remember Great Britain, The Romans, Greeks, Soviets, Vietnamese, Mongols, Japanese, etc? Yeah, they did that too.

Scott Adams thought it was insane also but changed his mind after sleeping on it. Check his X posts and his pod cast from today. I think it’s a great distraction from him taking down the administrative state.

Perhaps…it is a gambit by Trump to re-frame the forever war between Israel and Palestine; an out of the box solution whereby they no longer share a common border. Watch for interesting counter-proposals from Egypt, Saudi Arabia etc. Unthinkable even a week before.

"I thought that the Donald actually was on some type of mind controlling drugs, or else he'd had a psychotic break."

So, is this the first time you realized somethin' ain't quite right with The Donald? Much as I like 90% of his first 10 (never mind 100) days so far, shit's about to get really real.

With Greenland apparently the USA has been thinking about it for a while due to its strategic location in the event of war with Russia or China

Gaza I don't understand but hope there is a better plan underneath it

I am still big on supporting Trump. Regarding Gaza, there is nothing left. I can see Trump coordinating deals among the people living there. Remember, corruption is the authority these people live under. Extremely wealthy Palestinians around the world. Money is made using the plight of the people. So Trump is taking on corruption in our country, Mexico and Canada and returning Panama to the rightful owners, whoever that turns out to be as long as it’s no China. That same corruption is connected to the Middle East and it needs to be stoped. Can he take on world corruption? Well he has taken on the WEF and they may be irreparable at this time. Can I loose hope in Trump? Sure, but it will need to be a serious issue. I see many of our politicians locked up and their wealth put into the new National Wealth Account. It just exactly what Saudi Arabia did, same type of account and from the same type of people. I see our military getting involved with Tribunals. That thought is a long shot, but it makes me feel good.

I say he should just let the Israelis deal with it. They burned it down, now it's their problem.

We don't need another Vietnam/Afghanistan war.

OMG the Gold ton discussion now makes perfect sense Doug thank you very much .... its bugged me for a long time.

Sophisticated pleb's avatar

Wow....just wow. This is simply unbelievable. 'Criminally insane' is the only way to characterize this. Nothing surprises me in this day and age but this bit of news made my jaw drop. In fact, it's still gaped open....wow.

I knew this was coming and what Orange man hasnt thought about is that the region will turn on any US participation in some crazy gaza plan. Not only that but Iran is no longer a target that the US can afford.

BRICS will back Iran (Russia specifically,) against any egregious action the Hegemony will contemplate.

Trumps foreign policy is shaping up as the utter wild card as I expected it would be. Now they question is how bad will it be.

LA purchase was made between willing seller & buyer! Stupid comparison to GAZA.
