Grifting for Gaza
If you want to understand Donald Trump, follow the money. That includes foreign policy. Kidnap the president of Venezuela for the oil. Take over Greenland for the minerals. And Gaza? Certainly not for the Palestinians or Israel.
“Countries on Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace” for Gaza will be asked to contribute $1 billion in order to keep their membership for more than 3 years, according to reports.
“Each Member State shall serve a term of no more than three years from this Charter’s entry into force, subject to renewal by the Chairman,” a draft document first reported by Bloomberg News shows.
“It adds that the three-year term “shall not apply to Member States that contribute more than USD $1,000,000,000 in cash funds to the Board of Peace within the first year of the Charter.”
Where does this billion dollars/country go?
“The draft also reportedly suggests that Trump would control the money himself.”
So it’s not about peace, it’s about the money.

Trump and MAGA are blazenly showing us that our constitution is filled with holes allowing someone like him to run over it with a limosine.
woolley:
Good to see you again. I hope all is well by you.
Bill
I am doing great but I am sure wondering how in the hell we ever came to the point where 77 million of us put this moron back in power.
@Woolley,
“77 million of us”
Who is this “us” of which you speak? Include me out.
The U.S. is small potatoes. I think he wants to be king of the world.
Joel:
Think of the beach on the Mediterranean all rich westerners could enjoy! It appears Trump’s son-in-law (Jared Kushner) has his eye on it. Nice hotels, a scattering of condominiums, and no plebians. The population living there could be put to work serving them.
I am sure that is in Trump and Jared’s passing thoughts. What do you do about the present occupants?
@Bill,
If they build it, they will come. By that I mean that if Kushner et al. build resorts in Gaza, they will be magnets for Islamist terrorism. Depend on it.
Well . . . No sh*t Joel. Trump and Kushner sitting there. Just imagine . . .
