Am I mistaken or did Trump really suggest recently that Gaza would be perfect location for a luxury tourist resort?
Maybe another Trump tower and golf course?
You can smell the developers circling already. And because there’s money to be made, it will happen regardless of the ethics

Getting them to leave is the easier part, finding an Arab country to take them might be tough given their reluctance (to put it mildly) over the last 18 months.

It’s probably something Bibi has asked him to say to bide him some time

Democratic lawmaker says she became ‘voluntarily sterile’ over Trump policies.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/worl ... 94145.html

A Michigan state legislator became “voluntarily sterile” to avoid navigating a pregnancy under President Donald Trump’s second term, she revealed. Democratic state Rep. Laurie Pohutsky told a crowd in Lansing on Wednesday: “Just under two weeks ago, I underwent surgery to ensure that I would never have to navigate a pregnancy in Donald Trump’s America,”

“Well, we can't trust our government anymore.” - says Kristi Noem, Secretary of Homeland Security.

Have we found a Trump lackey who speaks the truth?

Ego, power craze, vengeance, greed, exploitation - to benefit a few individuals.

Nothing has been learnt in the past 80 years despite all the (truly heartfelt for many) ceremonies of remembrance. :cry: :cry: :cry:

I don't see how europe can be alarmed by the proposal from Trump when they did nothing to help Ukraine defend themselves. They would have known this was the only outcome.

European nations have sent more weapons to Ukraine than the US. But what they haven't done is to invest in their own armed forced to be a credible deterrent should they be abandoned by the US (possibly except for Poland).

If he achieves peace in Ukraine after playing a key role in the Gaza ceasefire then he must be a heavy favourite for the Nobel Peace Prize surely?
