Once again there is evidence that perhaps Trump may know some history, despite his extensive ignorance (but only Nazi history).

In 1940, after defeating the French, Hitler believed he would win the Battle of Britain; so he planned ahead to use British ships to deport German Jews and forcibly settle them in Madagascar.

Now Trump spouts a plan for relocating Palestinians from their own country. Who would benefit???

From the feedback on X many African Americans would like dedicate this song to the millions of Arabs, Asians and Latinos who helped trump get into power in 2024

This is why protest votes or protesting by staying home is often worse than voting for the lesser of two evils. I had lot of trepidation at the thought of a Kamala Harris presidency but voted for her anyway because I did not want to happen what has been happening.

If its any consolation to those feeling betrayed. Perhaps people thought "how much worse can 4 more years of trump be"?

Well...virtually a few weeks in...trump proved it could get much worse

I think the Mar-a-Lago Club should be handed over to the Palestinians to be used as a holiday resort.

Trump says Palestinians won't have the right to return to Gaza under his plan: "I would own this"

Quote:
President Trump said Saturday that Palestinians won't have the right to return to Gaza, and "I would own this," expanding on his statements last week that the U.S. would "take over" and "own" the Gaza Strip, and that Palestinians should not return.

The president made the comment during an interview with Fox News' Bret Baier that was recorded Saturday, but the latest portion was released Monday.

"We'll build beautiful communities for the 1.9 million people," the president told Baier. "We'll build beautiful communities. Safe communities. Could be five, six. Could be two, but we'll build safe communities a little bit away from where they are, where all of this danger is. In the meantime, I would own this. Think of it as a real estate development for the future. It would be a beautiful piece of land—"

Baier asked Mr. Trump, "Would the Palestinian have the right to return?"

"No, they wouldn't, because they're going to have much better housing, much better. In other words, I'm talking about building a permanent place for them," Mr. Trump responded. "Because if they have to return now, it'll be years before you could ever — it's not habitable. It could be years before it could happen."

Mr. Trump repeated his assertions that Jordan and Egypt might spend the money to resettle and house Palestinians, though both countries have so far rejected the idea. And it's not clear where the approximately 2.1 million Palestinians who live in Gaza would be housed while dwellings for them were being built elsewhere.

The president's latest suggestion that he individually would own any of the land or real estate developments in Gaza under his plan is new, although the president has repeatedly suggested that Palestinians should live elsewhere. His response that Palestinians don't have the right to return is his furthest-reaching statement on the matter yet and constitutes an implicit rejection of a two-state solution.

Somebody in Washington DC, please, FOR CHRISSAKES! Make an apt comparison between this and how Native Americans were forced of their land and relocated! Because this is American history replaying in the Middle East!

Nothing like Wackos speading their Wackyness..... To show that Israel and the US would be the some version of masterace in the Middle East...Which might further spread the HATE created by Israel to the American Empire .
And these people whom lost homes ,family, lands,& Loved ones ,will likely project onto the Americans around the world. And the least guarded places will obviously become the most likely targets as Israel has already made themselves targets they will be taking US with them.... And what of the already immigrated Palestine Americans already here.
That may feel still connected to Gaza.....a whole new wave of what the US describes as Terrorism . . .
And this may very well feed into Trumps design to instigate a new War . And by the end of his term this time ...
There maybe some fabricated or real situation ,He may or maynot use to instigate a excuse to enact the "Emergency War Powers act" which means no presidentail elections . 8O So as to extend his presidency...Most likely at the cost to the entire world. :skull:
But this is just a Theory. Hopefully none of this will happen.


I’m sorry, but the USA no longer exists. From now on, I shall be calling this country Mahagonny, after the fictional city in Bertold Brecht’s play of the same name, where being broke gets you the death penalty.

In addition, we are living in the end times, according to scripture, in particular The Revelations of St. John the Divine. The antichrist is now appeared, in the form of Donald J. Trump and his minions. The only activity left is the return of Jesus the Christ.
