Donald Trump has suggested large numbers of Palestinians should leave Gaza to “just clean out” the whole strip, after ordering the US military to restart shipments of 2,000lb bombs to Israel.

The US president said he wanted Gaza residents to move to neighbouring nations, and that they could be displaced “temporarily or could be long-term”, after a phone call with Jordan’s King Abdullah on Saturday.

“I said to him: I’d love you to take on more because I’m looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now and it’s a mess, it’s a real mess. I’d like him to take people,” Trump said, when asked about the call.

He also suggested Egypt as a destination for Gaza residents, and said he would raise the issue with President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi on Sunday.

    Well, at least you can whine about how other people voted, and that’ll make you feel better, I guess.

        Do you think Musk wouldn’t pay Democrat to get what he wanted? He literally manage to get his wealth while 2 Democrat presidents held office.

        I believe he just change teams because it was expected after Biden left the race.

        I do believe he knew before it is official that Biden would drop and Trump assassination attempt and moment was clear that he will get the same votes as before so he diced to get favor early.

        Some timeline:

        Trump assassination attempt was on July 13, 2024

        Public Musk endorsement was on the same day.

        Biden left the race on July 21, 2024

        I do believe that while he might not be publicly a Nazi he will get what he need throughout Democrat president based on his history.

            While worded clumsily, I believe they were trying to say “had a Democrat become president, he would continue ‘hiding his power level’”
