Duke of Bullshit: "The" Donald

[The Magic Pudding..]

From what I heard, there was a little more to it, such as the US claiming sovereignty or taking some other ownership stake in Gaza, then rebuilding it. That being said, the information I "have" is very much taken off some talking head on the Internet, so it may or may not be true and is most likely to be ideologically tinted.

I heard him saying something like that

the plan for gaza is not hard to figure out.

I don't think he is a moron.

I don't think he drinks, and neither does Putin.
My last glass is near empty

Wait, they want to turn a mountain of rubble into condos for seaside hipsters in an area of the world that is usually mid-explosion?

Well... There are stranger ways to make money, I suppose...

[Icarus]

Trumps father Fred was a developer of real estate that was mostly housing. Fred was a builder who knew the ins and outs of building codes and the tricks to circumvent those rules. Fred mad a lot of money, billions in todays money.  He left the majority business and its assets to his second son Donald.

Both Fred, and now Donald, were/are consumed with the need for "winning".  Winning is more important than anything else was the mantra of the male part of the family. Donald is still doing it but he has not lost his sense of opportunity to fuck over someone..anyone..everyone, in order to make a lot of money while reinforcing his massive ego.

If he could rebuild Gaza, with someone else's money of course, he could have apartment buildings and condos that produce huge rental sums. He would almost surely build golf courses to cater to the moneyed class.

Never mind the poor Palestinians. Shit can them wherever there is a convenient dumpster. The DOnald is a real Sweetheart don't you think?

Meanwhile the Arab nations are not buying in to such a crackpot notion. Trump is dead ass serious. He could make lots of money and also become one of the worlds most famous landlords

"Trump Gaza..." Complete with huge golden letters on the front and mebbe even an fountain. Now that would be something.

...Of sorts.

[billy rubin]

thats what he wants.

if the palestinians were to be settled alongside mar a lago, he would talk differently.

Trump wants Canada as the 51st state.
Can't happen because Ireland already is.

the truth is out

Tasks for Musk: President Donald Trump said he's directed Elon Musk to review "just about everything" in the US federal government, including the Pentagon and education spending. At a news conference with Japan's prime minister, Trump also said he would continue to have relations with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in his second term.

Mark Carney will be the next Prime Minister of Canada. He's a financial expert and ran the Bank of England for a few years. And he's coming out fighting against America. Which frankly I feel is a bad choice of words. Trump is the problem not America.
 

[billy rubin]

thank you for that. but i think that youre giving us too much credit.

trumpism is a real force in america. i work with people every day who repeat nonsense about current events and the people involved. i cannot discuss it with them because of their ignorance and weird beliefs.

how do you discuss politics rationally with someone who explains that joe biden stays young by drinking the blood of murdered children? or who complain that alexandria ocasio cortez has a bank account worth $40 million? her paltry finances are public record, but that doesnt matter.

people that i work with think that ukrainians deserve to die because zelensky didnt wear a suit.

so i dont know.

This video explanation about our national disease is sad but true. Bonhoeffer figured out this concept about 80 years ago. I doubt that he was the first to discover that stupidity is a threat to our continued existence.
