WASHINGTON
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he will "take" the besieged Gaza Strip under US authority while hosting Jordan's King Abdullah at the White House, one of the many avowed opponents of his plan.
The president continued to insist that he will implement his widely panned proposal to take ownership of Gaza, saying: "We’re going to run it very properly." He broke with previous comments that the US would be "buying and owning" Gaza, saying that instead, "we're not going to buy anything. We're going to have it. We're going to keep it, and we're going to make sure that there's going to be peace, and there's not going to be any problem, and nobody's going to question it."
"We’re going to take it, we’re going to hold it, we’re going to cherish it," Trump said about the coastal enclave. "We'll have lots of good things built there, including hotels and office buildings and housing and other things, and we'll make that site into what it should be.

He has also recently said that he wants 500 billion dollars worth of minerals from Ukraine. I would take that as a threat if I were Zelinsky.
I think Zelensky is willing to trade minerals for weapons
Treasury Secretary Bessent to Visit Zelensky in Ukraine
From the article:
" Trump has said he is open to supplying Ukraine with more weapons in exchange for access to the country’s mineral resources . “They have tremendously valuable land in terms of rare earths, in terms of oil and gas, in terms of other things,” Trump said in a Fox News interview, which aired in full on Monday."
So what do you think about Trump's notion of the USA taking control of Gaza, relocating the population, rebuilding, and turning it into the Riviera of the Middle East?
Is this sensible to you?
40% of the rare earth minerals are already behind Russian front lines
20% are in active war zones.
So only 200 Billion may be accessible by American mining companies.
Who is going to protect the companies and their operations?
Ukraine has strict mining and drilling regulations to prevent it from ending up like
Saskatchewan, Canada or Midland Texas.
What is left for the Gaza people to return to?
Pretty much a bombed-out waste land, a pile of rubble with no infrastructure. utilities, or resources.
I doubt that what's left of Hamas has the where with all or desire to rebuild anything except more tunnels.
Gaza has to be rebuilt. Obviously.
You did not answer my question:

So it's Florida after a hurricane... Got it.
He's starting to sound more and more like his butt buddy Putin.
That's not crazy or anything.
Of course you would. Lucky for Ukraine you are not Zelinsky.
He couldn't "hold" a goddamn casino....
If true that is not too bright. He might even get some push back from his supporters

Trump threatens Egypt and Jordan by talking about withholding all aid if they don't participate in his GAZA Plans.
Then he says he need not threaten either country because "I think we are above that".
Jordan did agree to take in 2,000 critically ill children from the Gaza camps.
True, and I thought that was a very compassionate thing to do.
I have serious reservations about taking and attempting to hold Gaza that may wind up costing a lot of US military lives.
It's also looney tunes to expect American mining and oil drilling to commence in the Ukraine without serious defenses.
The random drones and missile attacks will inevitably kill more Americans.
I don't think theres a chance of that ever happening.
This is how he negotiates. He asks for something he doesn't want, tells you how much he wants it and then backs down to get what he wants. It's a way of resetting the dynamics so we aren't starting from the Obama/Biden point of "Hamas, will you please take this many billions and promise not to kill any civilians for a while so we can pressure Israel to give you a even bigger state than the one you already turned down?"
A voice of reason crying out in the wilderness.
HITLER 'negotiated' with Czechoslovakia.
Probably not, but the fact that he even proposed it proves just how mentally ill he is.
Will the dems be starting article 25 process so Vance can be president?
Oh look, another Hitler comparison.
That's not utterly insane or anything.
Another Bullshit seed.
Why, exactly, do you deem this seed bullshit?
Nobody, eh? I'm not a nobody and I'm questioning it. Lots of more important people than me are questioning it and they are definitely not nobodies
Another Bullshit comment.
because he's the resident expert on bullshit?
You post them every day.
Musk is VP.
Trump Golf Gaza? Letting his kids or Kushner build a resort like he planned? All on the taxpayer dime takeover. Why doesn't DOGE go after this costly endeavor as saving taxpayer dollars?

Al Rashid Street, Gaza City Palestinian Territories
Way back when Gaza was still occupied by Israel, there were some luxury hotels on the ocean. There were also a lot of luxury houses, many of them owned by prosperous Gazans.
But the Israel pulled out totally and things went downhill rapidly.
Gaza was fairly prosperous under Israeli occupation, and was a significant exporter of flowers to Europe and many other products from their vast greenhouses.
But then israel completely withdrew, abandoning everything-- all the settlements, all the greenhouses, etc:
Looters strip Gaza greenhouses
Knowing the histroy of Gaza, it should come as no surprise that neither Egypt nor Jordan would want to take in these people.
(I have no idea why Trump is saying what he's saying about Gaza-- he seems to have no idea of the history...)
The history of Gaza in ancient Canaan goes back 4,000 years...
How about Gazastock?
The problem with Gaza is the Gazans, what to do with them? Nobody wants them and it seems that mostly people who want something to protest and have a cause to use act like they care about them
No one has the right to "do" anything "with them".
A basic outline for Gaza going forward:
1. Ensure Israel's border security
2. Massive investment in rebuilding and reconstruction by the Arab states
3. Creation of a functioning civil society by and for the residents of Gaza
This will all take many years of hard work.
Trump's idiotic comments about Gaza are just that, idiocy.
In addition to the fact that apparently most Gazans don't want to leave-- and anyway very few, if any, countries would want them-- I've heard some estimates of the cost of fixing up Gaza-- its astronomical!
I had assumed that the real reason Trump wants Gaza is not out of compassion for the people there, but rather his belief in the possibility for him (and/or Jared of course) to build lucrative resorts right next to the water.
But now I think I was wrong. He keeps mentioning the water-- but now I'm thinking in reality its not about what could be built next to the water-- but rather its about what I'm guessing is the value of what's under the water there!
Do you have some info on what of value might lie in the water? Crude?
Frankly, I think Trump is looking at this as a real estate opportunity. That makes the most sense to me given that is how he is wired.
Of course I really don't know for sure. Just guessing. It could be one, the other-- or maybe both.
Gaza was quite different before the israelis ended their occupation. The Gazans had a higher standard of living then the average Egyptians... and some very expensive housing for well off Palestinians)..The Israelis provided relatively well paying jobs.
Can you imagine investing in real estate in a Gaza 'Riviera of the Middle East'?
The only thing I would invest in is bomb shelters.
Absolutely not. May as well put your money in a pile and set it on fire.
Mom remembers Bierut Lebanon as "Paris of the Middle-East".
My US friends with properties there cannot sell them anymore!
I was, "kind of" watching the presser and trump repeatedly said, "have Gaza"... No invade, not buy, not annex, not steal..Just, "have". When pressed on what that meant, he quickly picked a different reporter.
"Have", is so incredibly vague.
When has Trump ever been not vague? It’s always “we’ll see what happens”, or “I know nothing about (insert issue everyone is aware of)”, or a million other vagueries.
More mobsterspeak
That's Trump. Many of his supporters have adopted vague, dishonest language too.
