Trump sometimes says the most outlandish stuff. Sometimes he's extremely strategic and is executing a larger plan that leverages the craziness of his words. Other times he is just bat **** crazy. This one trends pretty heavily toward BSC to me.

A bit of a contrarian take:

There is 0 chance that what Trump suggested actually happens. There are a million reasons why it's almost impossible and also a terrible idea. Palestinians aren't going anywhere.

I'm also someone who mostly rejects the Trump is playing 8-D chess… https://t.co/LzzYvl2Aym

The plan is to compress the survivors into the southern half or third of Gaza, and for Israel to take over the north, which also has vast gas reserves in its territorial waters. Ethnically cleansing all of Gaza is a stretch goal.

What plan? Who has published this alleged plan?

‘Those who leave will even get food and water’ he says

Like as though the genocidal act of forced starvation of civillians could have been another option

These rats are showing themseleves to the world for what they are

"Netanyahu is our greatest, disastrous president of the 21st century, he ran American foreign policy for 20 years, and cost us trillions of dollars.

Israel is using the U.S. as if our military is in their hands, and in effect it is."

Already twice that Trump has said there are now "1.7 to 1.8m people" in Gaza, which means it's probably a number he's been briefed on.

Before the war the population was 2.1-2.3m.

As a reminder, almost no-one could leave Gaza during the war.

You only got half of it correct (as usual). He is bat **** crazy and yet you still support him.

---

Reading comprehension 101. Am I supporting him here?

I agree with some things Trump does and not others. I say so both ways. I did the same thing with Biden. That seemingly doesn't compute for some who only see a simple binary political world.

---

When is Trump extremely strategic? Is it the tariffs? Was it firing the inspector general's? Is it letting an unelected billionaire take over the government? Was it his covid response? Is it wanting to give a tax break for the billionaireswhile reducing/eliminating social security/medicare? Was it hiding classified documents? Is it his constant grifting on the taxpayers dime? Was it when he cheated on his taxes? Was it hiring prostitutes? I could go on but there are only so many hours in the day. You would have suffered an aneurysm if Biden had performed any one of these items.

---

Work backwards from any of the events where governments have mysteriously backtracked to give Trump what he wants. Panama with the Canal. Denmark offering expanded use of Greenland for defense. Mexico and Canada with immigration. It's patently obvious to me that Trump routinely starts with the DefCom5 punishment (and is willing to do it) as his opening salvo then negotiates back from it. Except that sometimes it's maybe not a negotiating tactic. That ambiguity helps him.

FWIW Don't be surprised if Hamas recognizes Israel's right to exist as a condition to Palestinians remaining in Gaza. That would be a predictable outcome of this crazy ass "relocate Palestinians" business.

Interesting that you mention the Panama Canal. Here is the headline: "Panama's leader rejects State Department claim of deal for U.S. warships to traverse Panama Canal for free". https://www.cbsnews.com/news/panama-canal-president-mulino-denies-deal-free-passage-us-warships-rubio/

So once again you fall short. No surprise. The stated success of the current occupier of the WH are often lies but what do you expect from a serial liar.

Also, did we really get anything out of Mexico or Canada? They were already sending additional forces to the borders.
