The man who wants to be known as the “peace president” during his second tour of papering the walls of the oval office with executive orders, demonstrates once again, that it’s peace above all else.
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Monday that a precarious ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas should be canceled if Hamas doesn’t release all the remaining hostages it is holding in Gaza by midday on Saturday—though he also said that such a decision would be up to Israel.
Trump was responding to Hamas saying it will delay the further release of hostages in the Gaza Strip after accusing Israel of violating the three-week-old ceasefire. The U.S. president said that after the freeing of three visibly emaciated hostages on Saturday it was time for Israel to demand the release of all hostages by noon on Saturday, or restart the war.
“If they’re not here, all hell is going to break out,” Trump said. He added of the ceasefire, “Cancel it, and all bets are off.”
Trump said the final decision would be up to Israel, saying, “I’m speaking for myself. Israel can override it.” But asked if the U.S. would join in a response to Hamas if hostages weren’t freed, Trump added, “Hamas will find out what I mean.”
Those comments came after Trump said in an interview with Fox News Channel that Palestinians in Gaza would not have a right to return under his plan for U.S. “ownership” of the war-torn territory—contradicting other officials in his administration who have sought to argue Trump was only calling for the temporary relocation of its population. – time.com
I’m sure you’ll agree that this is what ‘peace through strength’ should look like. Supply the bombs and munitions that lays a sovereign country to waste. Then tell that country, and the world, that you’re going to take over that country that has been bombed to rubble in order to create a land by the seaside for rich elites and elite wannabe’s so they might have a place to play baccarat at the soon-to-be-constructed Gaza -Lago.
When you’re a mob boss, as The Don appears to be, and you have all the power of the United States behind you, well, you can pretty much do whatever in the hell you want to do. This is winning and this is making America great again, and if you don’t believe that then you’re a dunce and should be put in the corner at a White House press conference and snapped at by the youngest White House Press Secretary…ever.
