Trump's Gaza plan isn't meant to work, but that's the point

No, Trump is not cleverly playing four dimensional chess. His own White House staff have had to downplay and backtrack on what Trump said.

White House spokeswoman clarifies: Trump's plan for Gaza includes only temporary evacuation​

President Trump's plan to relocate Gaza residents to a foreign country institutes a temporary evacuation rather than a permanent transfer, according to a statement by a White House spokesperson on Wednesday.

There are currently no plans to involve the US Armed Forces in the plan, and the US taxpayer will not fund it, they added.


Trump says that he is, and that he is driving for the Nobel Peace Prize.
 
:lolup:So eager to suck Trump's cock, he doesn't realize Trump's own White House staff have had to walk back and downplay Trump's comments.

There are already 68 palestine REFUGEE camps. 8 of which are in Gaza.
 
People really go to great lengths to try to provide rational explanations for Trump's lunacy.
Including the NYTimes.


President Trump’s proposal to “own” Gaza and transfer its population elsewhere has stirred condemnation and sarcasm, but it is an opening bid and could disrupt a tired diplomatic paradigm.
As outlandish and unworkable as Mr. Trump’s proposal on Tuesday may seem, it is “no less than an historic resetting of decades of received diplomatic wisdom,” said Chuck Freilich, a former Israeli deputy national security adviser. However unrealistic, he said, “it may force the sides to reconsider long-held positions, stir things up dramatically and lead to new openings.”

 
So Tromp was planning to herd Palestinians into Greenland all along !


Haw, haw.........................................................haw.
 
Trump's own staff had to walk back what he said.
The reaction of Trump's Chief of Staff to his babblings about occupying Gaza.

US President Donald Trump dropped a bombshell on Tuesday when he announced that the United States will take over the Gaza Strip for the foreseeable future. With his declaration, the president has once again thrown a diplomatic grenade into the Middle East conversation – not a particularly quiet region at the best of times and one beset by 15 months of war.

The proposal – one that envisions the US developing Gaza, creating jobs, and turning it into an international hub – immediately triggered widespread backlash. The Palestinians see it as a veiled attempt at forced displacement, Israel remains cautious, and Arab states like Egypt and Jordan swiftly rejected the idea.

On the face of it, the plan is not remotely feasible. The US military occupying Gaza is a logistical and political nightmare. Some 20 years of experience in dealing with Iraq and Afghanistan will have taught the upper echelons in the Pentagon that Arab states would never publicly accept a mass Palestinian exodus onto their soil.

Even Israel, despite its frustration with Hamas, understands the consequences of such a move.
But here’s the thing – Trump probably knows that, too. The former president is not proposing a realistic strategy. He’s making an opening bid in a negotiation.

He did not announce we are taking over Gaza. He speculated stupidly probably thinking about a hotel, Trump Gaza. It would blow up the M.E. worse than Bibi did.
 
Actually, I agree with serendipity. Trump makes an insane opening offer. That forces his opponents to make a counteroffer because they have to take it seriously as Trump might actually do it. That means they start from a position of weakness in the negotiation.

So far, it's worked wonders. Trump dropped tariffs on Colombia to take their scum and thugs back. Colombia folded in a matter of hours.

Then he did the same thing to Canada and Mexico. Both folded like a $3 suit and Trump nixed the tariff plan on them.

Same thing here. Trump could go into Gaza and take it over. But I doubt any Arab country in the region wants that to happen. So, they're going to have to come up with a counteroffer, particularly if Trump starts making it clear he's willing to go through with the plan. So, they counteroffer and come to some agreement Trump will accept. Negotiating from real strength works.
^ Wouldn't this be a violation of international law?
