I think it’s going to bring the entire region to come with their own solutions if they don’t like Mr. Trump’s solutions.”

After years of various US admins abetting Bibi, Trump now let the cat out of the bag.

Now watch as some important news media gradually destigmatize the take over narrative.
So the felon thinks US money should be spent to fix that which Natanyahu destroyed? Was this "recently developed" idea the result of the destruction wrought or the cause of it? tRump says he was pondering it for "some time"? We know he can't keep a thought or idea in what passes for his brain without blabbering about it for very long.
My money's on now we know why Natanyahu went scorched earth in Gaza.

Well the felon, albeit a powerful felon, might reply: US money was spent in its destruction why not in the rebuilding process.

Anyhow, by now one can easily discern the nature and direction of any rebuilding.

How does the US benefit from Gaza reconstruction?

If USAID is to be shuttered and defunded, how do you fund Gaza reconstruction with the America First and only America edict?

Will the congress or what goes for that cowardly group going to authorize the funding or is this private enterprise?

Gaza strip is 2.2 million acres, so what will the land price be per acre and more importantly who will get the money, if they ever do?

We should indeed help pay for reconstruction. The question is, however, who should live there afterwards. Fat Donnie, an outspoken opponent of accepting political refugees, wants Arab countries to accept 2 million refugees.

US money gets spent so what about Israel's? Granted we helped, helped, bankroll the enterprise Netanyahu's forces are the ones who bombed the place back to the stone age. I'm sure plenty of Israelis would love to move into the new shiny Palestinian free Riviera of the Middle-East. Oh right, felon said "some" Palestinians could return to live there. It pays to have custodial and hospitality staff nearby I guess. Speaking of the Palestinians, what swell deal is Donny the great negotiator prepared to offer to pursuade them to leave their homeland? Along with that, would they trust him? Should they trust him?

The Stock Market Is Doing Something Witnessed Only 3 Times in 154 Years -- and History Makes Clear What Happens Next

If the courts can’t stop President Muskrat and his evil regime, a market crash just might get people to finally wake up, and vote the evil Repubes out for a decade or two.

A federal judge, citing a risk of “irreparable harm,” has temporarily restricted Elon Musk’s government efficiency team from accessing a critical Treasury Department payment system.
Quote:
Saturday’s order came on the heels of another court ruling temporarily blocking the administration’s attempts to dismantle the US Agency for International Development.
Quote:
And a federal judge paused a Thursday deadline for the administration’s so-called buyout offer to federal employees while more proceedings on the program’s legality played out. That followed earlier federal court rulings halting a sweeping federal spending freeze.
I am sure there are other lawsuits floating around but these four were cited in the linked article. These are all temporary orders and the cases are yet to be heard and all of them will wind up with the Scotus unless Trusk duo cave.

And if and when these are heard by the Scotus, will they side with Trump giving him even more unchecked power? A lot of commentators are fearful that this is indeed what will happen and at this point, only the Congress can stop him. Good luck with that.

Now Trump is openly flouting racism but he has been rebuffed for his efforts.

Trump says some white South Africans are oppressed and could be resettled in the US. They say no thanks

Quote:
The plan was detailed in an executive order Trump signed Friday that stopped all aid and financial assistance to South Africa as punishment for what the Trump administration said were “rights violations” by the government against some of its white citizens.

The Trump administration accused the South African government of allowing violent attacks on white Afrikaner farmers and introducing a land expropriation law that enables it to “seize ethnic minority Afrikaners’ agricultural property without compensation.”

The South African government has denied there are any concerted attacks on white farmers and has said that Trump’s description of the new land law is full of misinformation and distortions.
Quote:
On Saturday, two of the most prominent groups representing Afrikaners said they would not be taking up Trump’s offer of resettlement in the U.S.

“Our members work here, and want to stay here, and they are going to stay here,” said Dirk Hermann, chief executive of the Afrikaner trade union Solidarity, which says it represents around 2 million people. “We are committed to build a future here. We are not going anywhere.”
So no and no thanks.
