Donald Trump the Megathread part II - mod warnings in OP, Updated 18/03/25

It was well known what Trumps position was on this war - America has the president it asked for- the world has to come to terms with that.
But just because Trump threatens something doesn’t mean it has to come to pass or it will come to pass. I’m awaiting a measured response from the international community

perhaps trump riveria idea is great its not dissimilar to what happened to some populations after ww2

You've managed to make it to 40+ years old in this world. And that video is what got you to click off?

I mean it's not that bad

Let’s be clear on this so called “proposal”.

Israel hasn’t endorsed it.
Trump has said it’s an idea- it suits him because he knows it’s impossible to negotiate a two state solution - this is dead in the water before it begins. But it was never about Trump moving in troops to Gaza tomorrow morning to break ground on Trump International Hotel Gaza

I don't remember pushing him as a peacemaker. I said Biden/ Kamala had proven themselves to be genocidal maniacs and many people including me were saying that a vote for them is a vote for genocide.

Trump has the potential to be less evil in his actions than Biden.

Gilbert Doctorow points out today that if USA takes ownership of Gaza, the Israeli's could not recommence the genocide as they would be attacking the USA.

He says trump is dumb like a fox. In fairness , Trump gets stuff done. His envoy spoke with Netanyahu and the ceasefire started. He may lack eloquence but doesn't seem interested in facilitating the murder of babies like Biden.

I wouldn't classify outrage at Trump for endorsing ethnic cleansing to be "hysteria". You seem to think the reaction is limited to online forums or something.

Thats an interesting interview, Doctorow is saying Trump is trying to trick Netanyahu and knows his proposal is completely impossible.

Stupid like a Fox thats a very apt description.

Let's see if he's morally consistent and unequivocally condemns Trump.

Also, he's not a leader. He's somebody who holds a ceremonial position with no power and breaks convention by being outspoken on political matters.

Trump isn't fit to tie Micky Ds shoelaces.

The intelligence gap is massive for one!

Biden financed and armed Israel to the tune of 70 cent in every dollar for murdering the civilians of Gaza. The death toll against him will probably be over 100,000 and then it's over to Trump. So far, there is a ceasefire. If the slaughter/ genocide resumes it's on Trump.

Not sure why you're trying to clean Bidens genocidal ledger. It's an enormous atrocity in terms of civilian casualties and a shame Biden is not wanted like Netanyahu by the ICC.

How much of that was voted for by Republicans in Congress?

And Trump was the head of the Republican Party... publicly criticising any slowdown in aid to Israel.

He is now openly advocating for ethnic cleansing.

Thats all on Trump. And this thread is about Trump.

Your support for ethnic cleansing is all on you. You are the one trying to clean Trumps ledger with whataboutery.

Words alone can easily inflame the situation with Hamas and easily setup Netanyahu to commit further genocide. So by default he's destabilized the situation with his rhetoric.

Part of the vote for Trump was to end the worst excesses of woke ideology in favour of common sense. He's doing that and many on the left agree it went too far aswell even though they may hate Trump.
