Jonathan, you have posted about this story four times and have not mentioned that the United States declared the ethnic cleansing of “all of them,” referring to millions of Gazans including hundreds of thousands of children.

that would be one golden gaudy resort where the poolside Pina Coladas would be served by US Marines.

this stupid/dangerous proposal is a smoke screen for the Musk Coup...it will never happen... but the Musk Coup is happening now.

a "developer at heart"? seriously?

dcoffee1.bsky.social•18 days ago

And Nancy Mace called for a Mar A Lago to be built there!

perlyngemark.bsky.social•18 days ago

No one would want to live there, Palestinians would attack on a daily basis, it’s their land and whoever build there will get killed

jsherman39.bsky.social•18 days ago

This is not a Trump discovery. Gaza has ALWAYS BEEN AN EXTRAORDINARY OPPORTUNITY.

Billions of dollars have been sent to Palestinians to develop Gaza into Abu Dhabi or Riviera.

Instead Hamas & UNRWA lined their own pockets &built miles of terror tunnels filled with terror weapons

Your choice of words, "a developer at heart". Wow. So many choices.

How about ...... a criminal insurrectionist at heart, or a coup plotter at heart, or a top secret documents stealer at heart, or an adjudicated rapist at heart, or a con man at heart, or a Felon at heart, or a racist at heart.

Did Jared Kushner write this headline?

When The "leader" Of USA Promotes "Ideas" More Like Genocide Crimes Committed Against Jews And Armenians. It Makes It Very Clear How Extreme And In Opposition To Anything Good USA Ever Stood For - This Trump Regime Truly Is.The Ongoing Genocide Of The People Of Palestine Must Stop !

Sending American troops to Gaza is just more cover to distract media from his Unconstitutional takeover of government in Washington. I must say, you all are easily distracted.

jazzyminx.bsky.social•18 days ago

Awww. The Vichy press describes ethnic cleansing as more of a real estate venture.

mdalquist.bsky.social•18 days ago

I instantly thought of Jared looming in the background and Trump on every building, unaffordable to ANY Palestinian.

amandasorcerer.bsky.social•18 days ago

This is Trump's b***** distraction plan. It would take decades for him to develop Gaza. All he's doing is distracting Democrats & Americans from his plan of gutting the FBI & CIA because he's attempting a coup. We all know it was going to happen and he's dropping all these fake bombs to distract us.

@nytpitchbot.bsky.social is going NYTPitchbot the hell out of this take

zhurd1635.bsky.social•18 days ago

I think the words you’re looking for are “ethnic cleansing” you coward.

stacys01.bsky.social•18 days ago

National embarrassment. 🤡

celeste-walker.bsky.social•18 days ago

He is a sick man.

artistrandy.bsky.social•18 days ago

He shows that he has no understanding of how important the history of that region is to the people. Not the tourists. Even if they would, it would create a population of servants for the wealthy.

bizbodeity.bsky.social•18 days ago

This could be a bargaining chip to take off the table to force the Saudis to normalize relations with Israel. More likely, it is the con man criminal hard at work looking for angles to get richer. I would support the U.S. making sure that not one cent is spent to rebuild Gaza until Hamas leaves.

Senators on the floor all night. Lemire doesn't air that. Lemire BENDS THE KNEE and airs a trump rambling in full. Lemire airs this as trump is leading a coup.

newenglandcoast.bsky.social•18 days ago

A sick and disgusting proposal, especially after we allow Israel to bomb living daylights out of the Palestinians to the point where they have no home to go back to.

ckolson1.bsky.social•18 days ago

We knew this was what he was going to do. He sees Gaza as a beachfront resort-completely ignorant of the global situation. His first term, they had to do single bullet updates as he had no ability to comprehend actual briefings. He is cold to anyone else's suffering; just sees the world as his.

pwnedlib.bsky.social•18 days ago

It’s ethnic cleansing. Not a wild plan

kristenhillaire.bsky.social•18 days ago

Yep. And he’s wearing that developer’s heart brazenly on his grifter sleeve.

montessorian.bsky.social•18 days ago

So it appears Trump is governing for his own business venture and not what is in the best welfare of average Americans.
