Trump announces US plan to 'own' and develop the Gaza strip – video

www.theguardian.com Trump announces US plan to 'own' and develop the Gaza strip – video

Trump said he would probably announce a position on Israeli sovereignty over the West Bank in the next month

After calling for the permanent ‘resettlement’ of all Palestinians from Gaza earlier in the day, Trump said the US would 'take over' and 'own' the Gaza Strip. The US president said he envisioned 'long-term' US ownership of Gaza after Palestinians were moved elsewhere

My guess on this is that donvict is saying the most outrageous thing possible, only to play the "just kidding folks" card - all to distract from what fElon and his thugs are doing to dismantle democracy and our institutions.
Also, he'll walk it back maybe 90% and still be WAY over the line. You'd think people would cop to his stupid "art of the deal" shit he did with his dad's real estate company.

Bruh, Trump is going to make them send the terrorists after us again. Make it stop lol
- That was one of my first thoughts on this. If/when we have another 9/11 on our hands, it will be a direct cause from donvict and his merry band of idiots, including the voters.
  And YES, that means I blame the voters that voted for this shit, or the ones that, by opting out or ripping up their vote by filing a "protest vote", put him in office. And I will not stop blaming the voters too stupid to see straight enough to realize what a danger donvict is without some bothsider bullshit they use to justify their complete lack of clear thinking.

Tallest building, by executive order of course, will bear the trump name in gold.
- That's probably the one the next round of terrorists would attack.

If the US owns it then a President Carter can give it back to the Palestinians in 60 years.

Great job protist voters!
You saved Gaza from Biden!
- Keep these coming. Don't let these people forget their culpability in single-issuing us to fascism or let them blame shift.
  
  Agreed, 100%. People spouting that nonsense should be laughed and pointed at IRL when they start up with their nonsense.
  
  Yes keep saying this it will ensure people vote for democrats next time! It won’t alienate the shrinking base at all. People love it when you blame them for not voting for a candidate that did nothing to address people’s concerns or issues!
  
  Who paved the road in which is now being driven?
  There's no reason to infight we're all on the same side against fascism and western hegemony.
- “Oh I wouldn’t say saved, more like under new management.”
- Dawg, kammy lost by 2 million votes. Protest voters are a slim, slim, part of that 2 million. America saved Gaza from Biden.
  
  Because the guy wants to bulldoze it and turn it into Vegas is the better option?
  
  Third party votes number around a little over 3 million.
  So you know.
  
  Like 10m democrats stayed home.
- Trump is continuing what Biden started and Harris would have continued. The United States' fully bipartisan, murderous foreign policy is a stain on humanity and anyone who supports candidates with murderous policy is culpable.
  
  Quoting @jordanlund@lemmy.world:
  Harris stated multiple times that she wanted a cease fire and a two state solution. Polar opposite of Trumps “sweep them out and take over.”

  These are not genocidal statements.
  Trump?

  “But they’ve got to finish what they started, and they’ve got to finish it fast, and we have to get on with life.”
  And you're an instance admin, yikes. Do better.
  
  Is that the current hand-waiving you all have chosen to use?
  “Well, it was already going to happen exactly like this anyway!”
  …. While not one of you even called anything happening that was remotely anywhere close to this. Meanwhile, we all told you almost exactly they this would happen.
  
  Are you really gonna “both parties” on this issue?
  
  Cope harder.
  
  You are dangerously ignorant

Sure, an indefinite occupation in the middle east against the wishes and advice of other countries in the region worked so well for the last Republican president, and we'll already be all warmed up with occupying Greenland, the Panama canal, and Canada. This is truly a well thought out idea and we can definitely take Trump at his word that he'll implement it.

Gaz-a-lago

The plan was always to take it over and build $$$$$$$$$$ condos for the money laundering of the ~~criminals~~ wealthy.

Trump has also graciously licensed the use of his name, so the new resort and golf courses will be called the Trump Strip.
- I thought that was a synonym for shit smear?

😂🤣😭 This is the only reply I can make!
