American tax payers will fund the disposal of ammunition and rubble in Gaza.... which is extremely costly .. only to allow the billionaires to start their housing and building projects for russian and american oligarchs to invest and launder money. That sounds like a solid plan.

teachkids.bsky.social•104 days ago

So his comment of, “We will own it,” doesn’t refer to the United States. It refers to his family owning it. Yikes.

Do you write anywhere else? I’ve sworn off NYT and Wapo

We all know Trump is a grifter but he can’t take it with him and he’s not going to live forever. He’s nearly 80 years old and in rapid mental decline. He can play pretend all he wants but he’s not God. No one gets out of here alive.

This has been brewing for a while. Remember this gem?

Does Trump have a plan to get the Jewish hostages released or does that matter anymore?

khenkemeyer.bsky.social•104 days ago

Never did

lerris.bsky.social•105 days ago

It is worth noting that owning any property of substantial size in a foreign country is a massive conflict of interest for a president. Of course, there were those egg prices....

gruffy.bsky.social•105 days ago

I don't know what to say to this. It is on so many levels heathen.

@joyannreid.bsky.social
Read this Trump and Musk are doing. Please research this Son of A Bitch. We are so compromised. Have Rachel read this.

This & the other posts linked to it are worth digging into for more insight on their plans & who all is behind it.

Now it all makes sense. Scarry. That's why they are buying up and and starting their own communities.

Gee I am shocked that he may want to expand his portfolio

He wants to create a monarchy to fulfill his dream of being called King. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

“We are delighted to strengthen our ongoing relationship with the Trump Organization,” Ziad El Chaar, an executive with Dar Al Arkan’s subsidiary, said last year, in announcing one of the deals."

What self-respecting grifter wouldn't be?

pingl.bsky.social•105 days ago

In a dictatorship if it is good for the dictator then it is good for the country.
This is how the priorities are set in a dictatorship.
Forget about the price of groceries since Trump never did grocery in his life , he just created the name.
How much insanities are needed to declare someone crazy?

suffragette333.bsky.social•105 days ago

The are undeserving grifters and because I believe in karma I’m just waiting…

marie-snowden.bsky.social•105 days ago

So the NYT couldn’t put this out four months ago??? The grey lady is rolling over in her grave.

guasha.bsky.social•104 days ago

What does "gift article" mean?
The article gets cut off.

greyghost11.bsky.social•104 days ago

The grift goes on. It’s always about enriching himself. Scumbag in Chief

Say ethnic cleansing. I dare you. NYTimes, hacks.

pauls-oreo.bsky.social•105 days ago

Came here to say the same. @nytimes.com can get the fuck outta here. X is your lane, stay in it.

marcashrsn.bsky.social•105 days ago

Respectfully, Trump in Gaza is a long way from becoming a reality. Elon Musk is in control of the United States Treasury. The fire on the home front needs immediate attention.

nlaocaroline.bsky.social•104 days ago

I heard that trump had a bunch of people working in Dubai( I believe Palestinians. They were told they’d get room and board +$. Instead they took their passports away and did not pay their room and board and only were paid $200 a month. If that’s not slave labor what is… DT is a despicable man.

ptanow.bsky.social•103 days ago

Where are the Palestinian protesters? They sure were out in Oct. Where are they now? And don’t get me started on their congressional rep in Dearborn she’s on her own. Now she’s asking for her two state solution colleagues to speak out.
Sorry, honey, you had that chance

Not surprising, but disgusting.

lakebabe.bsky.social•105 days ago

Trump couldn’t care less where all the misplaced people will be carted off too. He’ll lie and talk about “ jobs created”! Ask Scotland about his promises!! This IS A POWERFUL LAND GRAB BY THE RICH. He will build a golf course and hotels. That’s WHAT HE DOES

judithkh1951.bsky.social•104 days ago

No surprise. The minute I heard the orange ball of shit say we would "own Gaza" I knew there must be some reason for that ignorant statement. More grifting from the con man and his crime syndicate family. Gaza is not for sale!

captainjohnathan.bsky.social•105 days ago

One thing seems to be missing in planning for another Lard o Lago in Gaza: it wd lie within comfortable range of countless hostile countries' missile systems. S-h-h-h!!

ggl25.bsky.social•105 days ago

We want a real president not a real estate developer with vengeance as his top priority

Criminal real estate development by trump crime family and @jaredkushner @ivankatrump crime family.

That pig.

janewassweet.bsky.social•105 days ago

Thank you for your work on this.

brentstahl.bsky.social•105 days ago

Trump turning Gaza into a resort for the 1% would might turn it into a market for suicide bombers. Remember them?

easterbrooksj.bsky.social•104 days ago

Now this is why A.G. Sulzberger chose for the NYT’s to sane-wash Trump.

The Orange Menace is really delivering on his side of the bargain to deliver plenty of content opportunities for the NYT’s 🙄

Thanks for the article. It is news that so much is already in progress in the Middle East for trump's personal greed.

46,600 people dead = 'A little bit of an unfortunate situation' according to Jared Kushner

w3stern3r.bsky.social•105 days ago

No big surprise. Trump is about grabbing attention and $$$. Anyone who thinks that he’s in it for the good of the country is sadly mistaken (or blinded by the bs).

jodymcp.bsky.social•104 days ago

Guess the Russian crime lords no longer have enough money for the Trumps, they're targeting fatter pigeons now. Note that Donald proposes dumping the Palestinians into Egypt and Jordan, two poor countries, rather than Saudi Arabia or Dubai. Always the money with this bunch.

I am speechless at the amount of 💩 that MAGAT’s will let Trump or musk get away with.

Eric, I’m really liking your work but it’s also affecting my blood pressure so I’m going to try to doom delay my consumption until such time as I am also in possession of an alcoholic aperitif
