Map shows what would happen to Gaza under the US ‘master plan’

Yeah this part. No matter what thing he does that we could even conceive of as “good” or “beneficial” for people. It’s all based on his racist, fascist grift.

You actually don’t have to hand it to Donald Trump. You don’t have to give him credit for anything. He’s a horrible human being who has never known a day of suffering in his life. Nor does he care an ounce about the suffering of anybody else. Hope that helps.
