Trump says US will take over Gaza Strip and develop it

@softrun

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

Yet

Pretty sure you just described the Crusades.

Pretty sure your understanding of the Crusades is sorely lacking

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

I’m sure the religious zealots won’t mind. It’s not like they have a history of being willing to burn everything to the ground for their religious delusions.

he said it’d be the Riviera of the Middle East

Well probably more like Atlantic City with the occassional mass death event from a suicide bomber.

Odds of Trump getting a chunk of Gaza would be far closer to 100% than zero.

Want kind of democracy doesn’t allow for the president to parlay a land grab into personal property?

Who are we to complain. He campaigned on kleptocratic imperialism and the people chose him, he’s got the mandate.

Or was it eggs and immigration, I forget.

I suspect Bibi convinced him this would be a great idea by kissing up to him and he just went along with it because he’s too stupid to realize what an incredibly bad idea this will be, but he loves it when people kiss up to him. All this will do is fan the flames in the Middle East and make anti-American sentiment so much worse that it already is, and get a whole bunch of people killed.

I’m not sure the White House Chief of Staff is on board with this plan.

Instead of 72 Virgins the “martyr” gets a bench on the Boardwalk

[RandMart]

He probably has “TRUMP AZA” in storage someplace already; just needs to swap out the “PL” for a “G”

Egypt and Jordan might have something to say about this plan.

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?

This is how it was in Trump 1, the BS comes so fast that you can’t keep up with it.

Reasonable, given the odds of even finding 72 virgins in AC.

[spockman]

He would have to deploy thousands of American troops to defend it during construction and after.

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.”

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

Is this the talking point from Trump, who you totally do not support? Scraping Gaza into the sea is a “compromise”?

Imagine a busload of girls from Lancaster, PA, during Rumspringa?

Did you not see the part where trump gets land in Gaza? That’s the important part. Suicide bombing deaths and anti-American sentiment is a small price to pay to be able to have Trump Gaza Plaza. It will be like nothing ever seen before.
