Taking over Gaza...Who has he talked to that thinks it is a great idea?

It is an insane idea.

And he has just made the hostages, the Israelis, and every Diaspora Jew more unsafe.

Does Trump think that the Palestinians have no agency and are going to do what he tells them?

Netanyahu knows it is a crazy idea, but he obviously is also afraid of Trump.

I really did not think that this day could get any worse.

And the US POtuS is fully on board, apparently willing to provide the finance and the force.

Will neighboring contries be willing to take in the 1.8 million Palestinians being forced out?

Don't bet on it.

He's just batshit crazy. And very, very stupid. That's what happens when you spend your life surrounded by people who tell you you're brilliant.

Musk, et al, are happy to let him potter around making a fool of himself, garnering the attention while they rape the country.

The fact that he is batshit crazy is, at least for me, among the most frightening.

Life in the world is now unpredictable because of one out of control lunatic.

While he has no foreign policy experience or training, his appointment is in line with Trump’s preference for unconventional picks with little expertise. “We have people that know everything about the Middle East, but they can’t speak properly … he is a great negotiator,” the president-elect said of his friend.

After the deal was announced, Trump said Witkoff would continue “to work closely with Israel and our Allies to make sure Gaza NEVER again becomes a terrorist safe haven”.

Trump doesn't trust foreigners, whether it's the Saudi royals, the president of Egypt, or even Netanyahu (who may think "if Trump brings the crazy, I can look like I'm the reasonable one" ). He wants more glitzy crap with his name on it. He has always run away from the military, so he has no clue about fighting, or holding a hostile country. He just thinks he's in charge of the world, so he can march in and grab it by the pussy.
