Trump Plaza in Gaza

The administration seemed to back-off Trump’s shocking plan for the US to own and develop Gaza once Palestinians are displaced. But Trump himself hasn’t. Trump says Israel would hand Gaza to US when war ends, no American troops needed there. “The US, working with great development teams from all over the world, would slowly and carefully begin the construction of what would become one of the greatest and most spectacular developments of its kind on Earth.” (Pretty sure he said the same thing about about the Trump Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City…)

+ “Fifty years before President Donald Trump proposed that the U.S. should take over Gaza, Saturday Night Live — in its very first episode on Oct. 11, 1975 — introduced a land swap solution to Middle East peace: The state of Israel and the state of Georgia could switch places.” (If nothing else, it would shorten the trip to get decent hummus and would help make sense of Herschel Walker’s first name…)
