Every day waking up to yet another insane declaration from Trump. America is losing the respect of the world

[100A]

It's like a parallel universe - how did America come to this? So now he plans to ethnically cleanse Gaza we are told - to create the 'Riviera of the Middle East.' A golf course and hotels probably. The £2 million people can just go wherever. Wtf! AIBU to think America is imploding in on itself?

Just been and looked at that Facebook post. 😳😮😫

He’s temporarily relocating them to other countries whilst Gaza is being rebuilt. Not by himself or Americans, but with the assistance of other Arab countries, if he can get them onboard. As it is currently, Gaza is like a gigantic refugee camp - with a lot of homeless people. What do others think should be done here? Hamas should in theory be rebuilding, but we all know they won’t.

I don't think Greenland is a distraction although today's Gaza announcement might be

The US are going for a great big US raft, isolated

If he carries on he's going to seriously piss off the millions of voters who did vote for him. They wanted more focus on domestic issues, whereas Trump seems to be flailing about, one international land grab attempt after another currently.

Posted by mistake..

They are going for defence, withdrawing troops and aid and maybe something to do with NATO

There is a great opinion piece in the NY times in faceted the released it on TikTok. It's all about how we shouldn't believe him when he comes out with this stuff, he's using this rapid firing because he doesn't have an actual plan and it would be more concerning if he went in quietly and took him time.

I probably haven't explained it every well but it's by Ezra Khan if anyone wants to take a look

So sorry for the typos!

They share the twisted vision.
What dies "relocating the Palestinians" sound like, fgs.

Musk scares me far more than Trump and I find Trump pretty terrifying. That an unelected and clearly very right wing person has managed to buy their way right into the heart of government is profoundly worrying. Trump is old, clearly physically unfit and very probably in cognitive decline. There is a possibility he will not see out the full term of his presidency and in the meantime Musk is shoring up his power base in readiness for full control

I know that I'm commiting the cardinal sin of quoting myself but I just think that he sees things through the prism of real estate and construction.

That's why he's interested in North Carolina, Palestine, Los Angeles. Build baby build. That's not automatically a bad thing. Infrastructure is a problem. Who knows? I'm not an expert.

Ross Douthat of The New York Times sits down with Steve Bannon, is well worth a listen.

And he'll be coming here next. He's already interfering massively in European politics.

The US troops are going to be very busy. They’ve got to invade Panama, Greenland, Canada and Gaza all in the next four years. The overtime bill will be immense.

Time will tell. If Trump's ego gets too bruised by all the posts about "President Musk" and "Vice President Trump" and saying that Musk is leading him around by the nose, you might be right. But I think Trump may find it harder to get rid of him than we think. Musk is wily too, and I think sneakily savvier than Trump, who has no subtlety himself. He only knows how to convince others to do his dirty work rather than subtly doing it himself. God only knows what dirt Musk may have dug up on Trump in his trolling through the Govt financial systems, which include the IRS database. And Musk knows that he's not eligible to be President so he needs a 'useful idiot' to carry out his commands. Plus sometimes it's better to be the power behind the throne than to sit the throne oneself. Easier to dodge the bullets.

One of the problems with dragging trash around on your coattails is that it can be awful hard to shake off.

If he wasn’t such a danger to the world I’d say he’s just like the worst attention seeking child you sometimes get in a class. Don’t care what attention they get, how negative it is, as long as they get attention. It’s almost like an addiction with Trump.

Respectfully, that view is arrogant. I'm not trying to start anything with you, just trying to point out the people deserve a say. They claim that land. They don't want a landlord, nor an American demagogue as a saviour. iykwim

Canada had already agreed to that in December. We didn’t add anything that wasn’t already set in motion.

Trump literally gained nothing other than inspiring a bunch of Canadians to be more patriotic.

I think it’s opening bid, say you are going to invade gaza, (no intention of doing it) scare everyone to the negotiating table.

I must have missed that announcement … are the Palestinians getting rid of the Israelis???

Esp considering he's just signed a hiring freeze and an order for wfh employees to rtw in office even if their wfh arrangement pre-dated Covid. They could lose a lot of employees.

They've never had a say in anything though. I can't see that changing anytime soon to be honest.
And they must be beyond mentally and physically shattered now.

Personally I would take my chances with a tent rather than be beholden to Trump. But that's me. I have no idea what I would settle for if I'd just been bombed, chased and hunted for 18 months.

Musk was not born in America, so ineligible to be President. (And not a citizen by birth)

Maybe he should offer them American citizenship?

The Constitution could be changed though. Anything is possible with the terrible twins.

Except he is arguably the most powerful man on the planet. All that is happening in America WILL affect us at some point down the line. Especially considering us British are still, on paper, allies.
