This is probably his proposal to stop the war in Ukraine as well. The US will just take over control of eastern Ukraine.

More on that big beautiful plan.

This has the hallmarks of something that Trump has thought up all by himself and announced unscripted. Bibi was smart enough to grit his teeth and be a good politician rather than just say “fuck off”.

Another bit of land grab. How long before he threatens Israel with tariffs to try to force the handover?

I liked his response. He’s one of the adults in the room.

Netanyahu said Trump was “thinking outside the box with fresh ideas” and was “showing willingness to puncture conventional thinking.”

I love puncture conventional thinking. trump won’t get it.

We’re just not supposed to take it seriously then we’re supposed to have a case of the fafo when he does what he says.

So much for that pledge of not getting the US involved in any new wars.

I’m pretty sure the actual quote was, “We want the US to be involved in ALL the wars.” Hence his concept of the USA turning Gaza into a condominium development. Has he mentioned how many golf courses Gaza will have?

I am sure no one would try to disrupt the rich Americans sitting on the beach.

They wouldn’t dare. Anyways, they’ll all be ‘somewhere else.’

In fairness, through all the years of war, terrorism, violence, peace talks, and various diplomatic efforts to address the intractable problem of two opposing groups who both claim a holy ancestral right to the same pice of land,…nobody ever thought of solving it by having a third party just stand up and say “actually, we’re going to take that land and both of the other groups can fuck off.”

Develop it into bloody what? Another Dubai? There is nothing there a tourist would go to do or see.

No one is talking about China’s tariffs now. In that regard, this outlandish proposal served its purpose.

The worry is, what will he need to say now to distract from this gaffe?

Next up, Ukraine will be the 53rd state, right after Gaza.

It truly is something “never seen before”

Seems like a great idea. A Trump Hotel and golf course. What could possibly be better? Maybe a Trump timeshare?

Keep your eyes open on the fairway on 7 for land mines.

When both parties are not completely satisfied with the outcome compromise has been achieved.
