WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Tuesday he wants the U.S. to take ownership of the Gaza Strip and redevelop it after Palestinians are resettled elsewhere.
“We will own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site,” Trump said a start of a joint news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

- Libs still crying because they nominated a genocidal cop bootlicking the cheyneys.
  Clown, blame thyself.
  
  Tankie fails the trolley problem again
  
  If memory serves correctly no one fucking nominated her. it was biden who waited too damn long to step down and legally she was the only option.
- Yes, it was definitely the fault of the people protesting genocide and telling the democrats the things they're doing are incredibly unpopular, stop trying to be republicans, and not the democrats who told us to fuck off.
  Really, if nobody protested, genocide would have been super popular and Kamala definitely would have won.
  Sure are lot of liberals feeling smug about the most marginalized people in society being harmed these days. Something about scratch a liberal?
  
  The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
  Protestors made a poor decision. Despite protesting for the right reasons the consequences will be more harmful to those they sought to stand up for.
  This was not an unforeseen consequence, everyone with a brain was screaming it from the rooftop, and now here we are.

  So instead, you decided to vote for the guy campaigning on putting the genocide on a speedrun. That was bright. You sure sent a message. Yesiree. Message was heard loud and clear. Genocide is bad, but super-speed genocide is A-OK! I'm sure the soon-displaced people of Gaza are gonna thank you so much for your support.
"bOTh sIDez ArE thE saME!!!1!" amirite?
If anyone reading this is one of those "undecideds" or were banging the third party drum and are tired of hearing "we told you so", well, bad news, buckaroos: You better buckle up because I'm just getting started.
commented this elsewhere, but the general idea is that by showing that an important contingent of the left won't vote for a pro genocide president, the democrats will have no choice but to run a candidate that is electable in the future.
this means that trump might be president in 2024. That sucks, but most of the damage has already been done (supreme court, senate, etc). Might as well show the dems that they have to run a candidate that supports the rights of civilians all around the globe
@fart@sh.itjust.works This you? How's that attitude working out for you now, huh? Hope your moral purity eases your conscious because this is partly on YOU.

- i felt powerless because the dems were supporting genocide, so i tried leveraging what little power i had months out before the election to bluff and say i wouldn't vote unless they stopped doing genocide in gaza. how is that not CLEARLY the best option?
  why are you blaming anyone but the people fucking killing civilians in gaza? Biden had the ability to end the whole thing with a phone call and didn't
- i voted for harris in pennsylvania man idk what to tell you
- Blame everyone but the DNC.
- Maybe the Dems shouldn't have ran on "supporting Israel".
  They could have distinguished themselves on this issue: they chose not to.
  Trump winning is a DIRECT result of how the Democrats campaigned, and how those here, made apologies for their obviously losing choices.
  
  Trump winning is a DIRECT result of election interference and years of gerrymandering and voter suppression.
  
  You are absolutely wrong. The Democrats were the best case scenario for Gaza and Trump just proved that. You can cry all you want about imperfections with the Democrats but the perfect candidate and the perfect scenario simply does not exist and will not exist. Ever. Do you want to change the Democrats? Then fucking vote in every election, ESPECIALLY the local ones, not just the big ticket ones.
If you haven’t heard his exact words I recommend watching the video to get the gravity of how insane and evil he truly is
- The whole thing is worth watching, but here's some timestamped links to a couple of parts of the presser where he discusses this:

  https://youtu.be/ZRtXTXJgm3E?t=1364
  
  I think around the 38 minute mark is the closest he gets to answering who is going to live in the Gaza strip in the future.
Lol thanks for your vote (and non votes) suckers! Just don't call it genocide. Watch netanyahu's face during the press conference. Trump is a useful idiot and he and other leaders know it.
- Nothing new about presidents loving fascists.

This will take US to a war, which is even bigger shitshow than Iraq and Afghanistan. It will mean boots on the ground for next 50 years.
He said that Biden/Kamala will take US to a war, but projection is what he always does.
- The genocide will cause war with neighbors.
Literally genocide.
As opposed to the fake over exaggerated genocide the Free Palestine protesters were uppity about. Let's raise you a real fucking Genocide.
Both sides tho.
- That was genocide too. This is just a faster and more ruthless genocide. Those were the options offered to American voters, and they chose Nazism, extra genocide, and plunder by billionaires.
  
  It's revealing how libs cry far more about the very few people opposing genocide than about the millions of people in an extremely racist society calling for more genocide.
- fake over exaggerated genocide
  Libs going mask off. Genocidal denial won't reverse the dem's complete failure.
  
  Free Palestine going full mask off. They don't even bother protesting over Trump or recent actions as things get worse. It was all bullshit.
Dear imperial news... It's called "ethnic cleansing".
Mar-A-Lago is 7 hectares, maybe start with that little bit of land for resettlement?
Leopards eating a lot of faces.
- There are no leopards eating faces. But people are literally being genocided in palestine. Maybe find something real and worthwhile to cry about.
The world doesn't need another Trump golf course
With my money? Pry it from my cold, dead hands first.
Yet there won’t be much protesting going in the US….
- El Salvador has a president who has gutted what used to be a democracy and runs the country as an autocrat. Trump and his fellow scumbags (Marco fucking Rubio for one) are watching him with admiration and taking notes.

- If there are protests, the libs of lemmy will be denouncing and blaming the protesters because kamalacaust lost.
