Trump says he wants Israel to remove all Palestinians from Gaza

[Arazi]

Hope the uncommitted folks are watching the results of their actions…

Steve Herman is a VOA reporter on Air Force One reporting an impromptu press conference with Traitor right now

On Air Force One from Las Vegas to Miami, President Trump says Palestinians in Gaza should be relocated.

“I’d like Egypt to take people. I’d like Jordan to take people,” he tells reporters.”We just clean out that whole thing.”

1. Will someone please tell him he did not become President of the Whole World?

nt.

[bdamomma]

11. I'm sure

there will be world officials to tell the felon Fuck off.

[Aristus]

139. Denmark already has. Literally.

Got to love the Danes. They know how to protest.

When occupied by Prussia in the 19th Century and forbidden to fly their cherished white cross on red field national flag, Danish farmers bred a line of pigs with a white cross on reddish skin to show their patriotism. "Hey! You didn't say anything about pigs!"

Still on the subject of flags, when the Nazis invaded and occupied Denmark in 1940, they pulled down the national flag flying in front of an inn, and put up the Nazi swastika flag in its place. Enraged, the innkeeper pulled down both the flag and the flagpole rather than submit to a national insult. The Nazis put the flagpole back up, raised the Nazi flag again, and posted a guard to make sure it wouldn't come down again. The innkeeper raised a second flagpole, hoisted the Danish flag again, and told the sentry: "There! Now you can guard this one, too!"

Don't fuck with the Danes, is what I'm saying.

[Dave Bowman]

20. Pretty sure that he believes that he's some kind of emperor and the whole world should kneel before him.

That weirdo is living in an alternate reality.

31. "I am the god emperor of the world!" -Dump, probably

75. Can we take out the bridge with las-guns?

88. It's a Dune reference

If you were a ridiculous nerd like me, you'd know that!

93. He's just mouthing what warmonger Netanyahu has been trying to do all along.

The ones left he hasn't killed with bomb strikes. He wants the rest of the West Bank too, what remains that the Israeli settlers haven't stolen.

131. Jared Kushner may be influencing his father-in-law. Pulled this from my history file:

By Chris Walker, Truthout
Published March 20, 2024

Jared Kushner, son-in-law to former President Donald Trump and foreign affairs adviser during the Trump presidency, recently called for Israel to commit ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

As a guest speaker at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government in February, Kushner discussed his views on Israel’s genocidal war against Gaza, which has killed more than 32,000 Palestinians since the start of October.

Notably, Kushner was instrumental in a plan to normalize relations between Israel and a number of Muslim-majority countries in the Middle East. That plan also included an outline for Israel to annex more illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, recognize Jerusalem as its capital, and continue to deny Palestinians the right of return.

“Gaza’s waterfront property could be very valuable … if people would focus on building up livelihoods,” he said.

"I would just bulldoze something in the Negev,” he said, referring to a desert region in southern Israel. “I would try to move people in there, I know that that won’t be the popular thing to do, but I think that that’s a better option to do, so that you can go in and finish the job.”

124. Hey MSM, can you use the "H" word yet or do we need to wait another year?

[VMA131Marine]

2. Today Gaza ...

Tomorrow the West Bank …

[Wiz Imp]

3. What a shocker. Absolutely no consequence of him winning the election was more predictable than this.

The people who opposed Harris over Gaza have now been definitively proven to be among the stupidest people on the planet.

[LisaM]

33. And when you tried to tell them...

..the response was absolutely vituperative. How many people here were accused of supporting genocide ?

[kelly1mm]

55. Learned a new word 'vituperative'. Thank you for that. nt

[LisaM]

107. Good, you'll have many a chance to use it

in the next few years.

[Lifeafter70]

4. And that's why Egypt foreign aid was not stopped

He wants something from them.

[Dave Bowman]

21. The Suez Canal? I wouldn't be surprised at all.

[Lifeafter70]

105. No he wants them to take in Palestinians

He froze all foreign aid except Israel and Egypt.

[Igel]

130. Israel-Egypt peace treaty of 1979.

Aid from the US to Egypt and to Israel is specified by treaty agreed to by the US--that's the law of the land. Has been for decades now. It was part of what Carter put on the table to get them to sign.

Not sending that portion of military aid to Israel would have been an impeachable offense; not sending it to Egypt, likewise.

[Lifeafter70]

140. I'm not saying they should not get the aid

Just questioning why all other foreign aid was put on hold but he kept this funding.
Breaking the law and impeccable offense do not matter to him. He has no fear of that happening. It is all about him, if Egypt crosses or denies him he will have no problem terminating their aid

[EndlessWire]

5. You gotta be kidding.

I can't follow the link. Did he really say this? I could make a hotel joke, but I don't know about this...

[Arazi]

17. Yup. Followed by he's taking Greenland and Canada

🙄

[dem4decades]

6. Trump thinks if they belonged there they'd be called Gazinians.

[Seinan Sensei]

103. Mike Huckabee says there's no such thing as a Palestinian

And Rev Huck is now TSF’s new Ambassador to Israel

[Daleuhlmann]

145. Oh, You Mean Sarah's Pappy?

In the words of Bugs Bunny, "What a maroon!"😂

[Lunabell]

7. So, how'd those not voting for Kamala protest votes go?

Ya get what ya voted for.

[ismnotwasm]

8. Of course he did

He’s an asshole

[Jit423]

49. And so are most of the people who voted for him. nt

[dalton99a]

9. Great opportunity for the Trump Organization

[Norrrm]

39. Congratulations! You got what you wanted... Trump in the WH.

[Crunchy Frog]

97. Maybe he thinks he'll resettle them in Greenland.

[IzzaNuDay]

111. Leopards gonna feast Mediterranean style

Arab Americans for Trump. Despite the ban on Moslem individuals entering the country in 2016.

I hope none of them will whine about what’s happening next. We tried to tell you all

[Traildogbob]

10. For all the Palestinian

Warriors that went after Biden relentlessly and did not vote for him in protest.
“Here’s your Sign” as a famous comedian use to say.

[sinkingfeeling]

12. Making Bibi's dreams come true. Why does this f**king idiot think he can determine who has to live in what

country? Is he going to spend US tax dollars to relocate, feed, and shelter millions of people in Jordan and Egypt?

[charliea]

104. As someone said...

Rubio didn't freeze aid to Israel or Egypt. TSF is helping a fellow wannabe (fascist) dictator, so he'll owe him a favor and he thinks the threat of withheld funds will compel Egypt to accept millions of refugees. Apparently Rubio didn't issue a waiver to Jordan so I don"t see what the enticement is for them.

I've read a lot of sci-fi in the previous 60 years, and the common, usually fragmented, backstory of post-apocalyptic wastelands is an unstable world with multiple wars, collapsing governments, mass migrations, and pandemics. Leaders arise with a belligerent attitude, blaming imaginary enemies, making fantastical promises, and then...

sometime later our chronicle begins.

[jls4561]

13. Beachfront property.

[dchill]

80. He went to Jared.

[Bengus81]

123. I heard that months ago and didn't believe it

But yeah...clear em out then bulldoze the whole place and turn it into a luxury resort,luxury homes,golf courses etc....

[bdamomma]

14. He's taking

Jared's suggestion to make Gaza a seaside resort.

[highplainsdem]

15. He said Monday that Gaza is a "phenomenal" real estate location, but the people would have to go:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100219926451

[wnylib]

85. How about Palesinians stay in Palestine

and the US cleans out Trump and the scum with him?

[mcar]

137. Maybe the "uncommitted" voters shoulda thought of that

[moondust]

16. He went to Jared?

Beachfront, baby!

[magicarpet]

18. There iz beach front property to be developed,..

.... in Gaza,.. get the fuck out. There is petroleum off shore of Gaza. Once the Palestinians are chased off - off shore drilling rigs can be set up and soon operational.

Hurry,.. hurry,.. a massive genocide will soon commence.

[defacto7]

19. And Bibi might do what Caligulump says.

[Dave Bowman]

23. Caligulump? Lol, first time I hear that one.

[defacto7]

25. Ha, it just came to me in a dream. n/t

[Yoyoyo77]

90. Might????

[defacto7]

142. Okay. Will. n/t

[tishaLA]

22. Leopards eating the faces of Michigan Muslims

Who thought VP Harris supposed genocide.

[cliffside]

24. CNN - Trump suggests his plan for Gaza Strip is to 'clean out the whole thing'

https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/25/politics/trump-gaza-strip-jordan-egypt/index.html

President Donald Trump indicated Saturday that he had spoken with the king of Jordan about a potential plan to construct housing and move more than 1 million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to other countries, a remarkable and unusual proposal from a sitting US president.

...“You’re talking about a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing,” Trump said, adding that there have been centuries-long conflicts in the region.

He continued, “I don’t know, something has to happen, but it’s literally a demolition site right now. Almost everything’s demolished and people are dying there, so I’d rather get involved with some of the Arab nations and build housing in a different location where I think they could maybe live in peace for a change.”

[2naSalit]

28. He's such...

A fucking MORON!!

[cliffside]

29. He is a VILE human being, but there is money to be made ...

cry

[Arazi]

41. Thanks for the link

Herman was reporting live so I posted as he was getting the info out there

[cliffside]

46. Thank you and you're welcome ... beachfront property who could have imagined :( nt

[Arazi]

48. Well since he said it out loud, we all knew

Everyone. Including the pro-Pal protesters who decided to vote for Traitor or Stein, or stayed home in a snit

[cliffside]

51. Not going to blame them entirely, leveling Gaza was not the answer either, yet few in power voiced their opinions ...

Last edited Sun Jan 26, 2025, 12:21 AM - Edit history (1)

but as was mentioned there is valuable property to be had.

It is almost always about the money ... and some power

[LuckyLib]

109. Yes, you imbecile: " Almost everything's demolished and people are dying there."

Thanks to Israel, our tax dollars are at work! And Mr. Dumpster can begin engineering the relocation of humans so that redevelopment can begin.

[Walleye]

113. He hates humanity, he only loves real estate. "Clean it out" that's very fascist language.

[Igel]

132. That sounds less offensive.

Chucking in that he said maybe short-term or maybe long-term softens it a bit--and makes it less what he said and what we hear.

Still, I think he'd like the place thinned out.

And operationally, rebuilding among occupied rubble is going to present its own logistical challenges. Sort of like sending all the Altadena and Pac. Palisades people back to live on their properties in tents as their home sites are cleared and prepped and rebuilt sounds like a really bad idea.

[2naSalit]

26. Sure...

Ethnic cleansing on a whim.

Why didn't anyone else ever think of that?

[vapor2]

27. So Jared can build his hotels?

[2naSalit]

30. Well, of course!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

32. So the Racist-in-Chief has spoken... fuck HIM!!

[yaesu]

34. I wonder how the protest voters in MI feel about that

Like maybe they feel pretty fucking stupid about now

[Tumbulu]

37. Like the rest of the people who voted for T

They are too stupid to recognize their stupidity.

[Mossfern]

73. Leopards

ate their faces.

[LisaM]

108. And their ringleader, Kshama Sawant.

Words cannot describe how much I detest her.

[milestogo]

35. So he can give it to Jared Kushner to develop as beachfront property?

Yeah, that'll work.

[johnnyfins]

40. We can make sarcastic jokes, but just

watch. It will happen. And no one will be able to do a thing about it.

[milestogo]

54. Not even Hamas?

[Walleye]

114. He might let Palestinians back in to clean up the greens and such as he drives his cart all over the course

[B.See]

36. "CLEAN OUT..." How NAZI of him.

Trump has plans to "CLEAN OUT" America too, no doubt.

[Walleye]

115. Yep, you can't get more fascist than that

I don’t know how Americans don’t recognize this kind of talk. I’ve known about it since I was in sixth grade I think.

[Eko]

38. Hope the people who stopped the Democratic Palestinian reps from talking at the convention

Are having second thoughts also. Hard to think that people expect some to vote for them when you don't give them a voice in such an important thing. Its not like there is any reason to support a right wing government over elected Democratic reps.

[Arazi]

47. Stop. Ffs just stop

There’s no both-sidesing this.

Harris and Trump were never the same. Ever.

[Eko]

59. Nope, not gonna do it.

You honestly think not giving the Democratic Palestinian reps a voice at the convention to air their grievances would not have helped our turnout?

[Arazi]

61. No

[Eko]

63. Well then why blame them?

[Eko]

62. Were the Democratic Palestinian reps who wanted to speak saying that Harris and dump were the same?

No they werent. Ya shot yaself in the foot. Congrats!!!!

[Walleye]

116. So if only we would've allowed their speeches, we would've won the election, is that your point?

Victim blaming.

[NickB79]

119. People were calling President Biden "Genocide Joe"

And chanting Hamas slogans in the streets.

They weren't listening to anyone in the Democratic Party.

[jgmiller]

42. I don't understand why people never listen to him

He never said once during the campaign that he was worried about them, all he ever said was he was with Isreal and he wanted to end the war. In Trump speak that meant exactly what he just said. He only lies when he is trying to convince his followers of something, the rest of the time he is very truthful, he tells you exactly what he wants to do.

I'm sure he's actually disappointed that Biden managed to get a cease fire, just like I'm sure Bibi is too. They wanted to erradicate the entire population. I'm not saying Hamas isn't evil, they are and frankly the Palestinians that support them should know better. You can't go up against Isreal and the west like they did and hope to survive but that doesn't mean genocide is ok.

[Norrrm]

43. Dotard really likes that deportation stuff, eh?

[brakester]

122. They are

merely chess pieces to move around on the board.

[Joinfortmill]

44. Insanity

[calguy]

45. So.... All the Palestinian supporters who refused to support Harris

You now have trump calling for a complete eradication of Palestinians from Gaza.
As they say…. Be careful what you wish for. You voted for this to happen.

[LymphocyteLover]

50. ABSOLUTELY HORRIFYING

[aggiesal]

52. Trying to create a Mediteranian Riviera ...

Even Jarvanca mentioned that waterfront property could be very valuable

Jared Kushner has praised the “very valuable” potential of Gaza’s “waterfront property” and suggested Israel should remove civilians while it “cleans up” the strip.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/mar/19/jared-kushner-gaza-waterfront-property-israel-negev

[Mountainguy]

53. Gotta giggle a little

When you realize that a lot of people mad about a pretend genocide voted for a guy who wants to make it a real genocide.

[comradebillyboy]

134. I like the way you explain it.

[FarPoint]

56. He, trump, he is just running his mouth.....

He just babbles to stay outrageous.... That said....he sure is pissing off the wrong people.

[Wiz Imp]

58. There is not one outrageous thing he talked about doing in his campaign that he has backed off of yet.

So until he shows otherwise, I'm going to believe he intends to do everything he says, no matter how outrageous and unbelievable it may sound.

[Arazi]

64. Yeah, I'm over everyone who still has their head in the sand

Traitor is coming for it all.

He’s not senile.

He’s dangerous as fuck and he’s now surrounded himself with fanatics

[Wiz Imp]

66. I agree with everything you said except for one thing - I do believe he is Senile/Cognitively impaired.

But I think that just makes him more dangerous.

[niyad]

87. Ummmm, have you been paying attention since Monday afternoon?

Have you any idea what his "babbling" has done just since Monday?

[FarPoint]

112. Yes, I am aware......

I just choose to not do the knee jerk reaction on his rants and statement/Tweets.

[niyad]

120. Since he is in the process of enacting every single fucking one of his

evil, vile, disgusting, totalitarian rants/tweets utterances, I find your statement disingenuous, to say the least.

[FarPoint]

121. Thats just a drama response. We will survive...

I am just not going into stress mode when he spews shit....like daily 24/7 crap.. He wants to terrorize us.... I won't give him the power.... I know we are in for chaos...I will just filter thru the chatter/rants and latch onto the real stuff....

[niyad]

125. And what do you define as "real stuff"?

[FarPoint]

126. Actual implementation of his threat and it is official...

At this point, it's just a tRump ' desire"....

Let's not underestimate the Palestinian people.... They have delt with such abusers in the past and will continue to rise above....

I have Jordanian/ Palistinian and Syrian family in Jordan.....

[Arazi]

138. Except Netanyahu is implementing this as we speak

Traitor is just giving his blessing for Bibi to proceed with (more) ethnic cleansing.

Not sure how much more “waiting for action” you’re waiting for tbh

[Rhiannon12866]

57. Good Grief! He not only thinks he can change the U.S. to his preferences, but the rest of the world!

[JoseBalow]

60. Just change the name of "Jordan" to "Palestine"

Problem solved!

[Dave Bowman]

106. Is this supposed to be funny?

[LudwigPastorius]

65. No surprise Trump supports ethnic cleansing.

He loves him some Andrew Jackson.

67. An Otter AI transcript from Air Force One is included in that thread

It's interesting.

https://otter.ai/u/_OKOGkptwIrNsF4XtktHuFCRlu4

[Arazi]

68. Yup. Lots of doozies in there

Traitor is gunning for it all

He’s not just touching the stove he’s putting his whole hand on it and turning up the gas

[Justice matters.]

69. The unreal list of distractions continues...

1- Greenland

2- Canada

3- Mexico

4- Panama

And now 5- Ethnic cleansing in Gaza

The abject fascistic convicted felon and rapist thinks he is emperor Caligula or just Hitler reincarnate?

[Arazi]

72. These aren't distractions

He’s surrounded himself with fanatics and I have zero doubt he’s going for it all.

If he’d only mentioned this shit a couple times then I’d say it was being used as a distraction. He’s fixated on it tho and he’s managed to pull off the shit he obsesses over every time.

The guy’s made an iron pact with the Devil whose gleefully holding up his end of the bargain

[Justice matters.]

77. It's hard to think they're not distractions because...

the evil creature doesn't want anyone asking questions or even trying to look at his crypto scams.

[IbogaProject]

70. That was Hitler's origional plan

And then when no one would take them they went with plan b, the holocost.

[Walleye]

117. So Trump is coming up with his own version of the final solution

[IbogaProject]

129. He is repeating the initial solution

I hope some kind of permanent deal can be made so those people can live and rebuild their lives. Maybe proportionent to how many Jews left in the twentith century? Have each country that had people go there take an eaual percent of the displaced. Neither good nor just but I don't think things will ever be good there again.

[patphil]

71. If this is true, there's a whole bunch of Arab Americans who have to be feeling really shitty right now.

https://www.voanews.com/a/in-historic-shift-american-muslim-and-arab-voters-desert-democrats/7854995.html

They let themselves be suckered by a man who's a pathological liar. And now that man is showing his true self.
Guess what guys, it's too late. You've been had, and we've got this monster for at least 4 years.
With Trump's blessing, Netanyahu will be empowered to proceed with the ethnic cleansing of Gaza...and more of the same on the West Bank.
Note: Trump implies Jordan would be taking the West Bank Arabs.

[Walleye]

118. But I guess they're conscience is good and clear because they didn't vote for Democrats.

I’ve had it with these conscience votes. You get to choose between two,that’s it.

[Orrex]

74. "bUt KaMaLa FuNdS gEnOcIdE"

[GrayJedi]

78. But the Imam said not to vote for Harris

If we vote for Trump he will help the Palestinians and not voting for the Democrats will make them take us serious !

[betsuni]

81. But the Democrats Are The Real Warmongers drama starring cartoon villains Genocide Joe and Killer Kamala

was so much fun! Weeping about how the Democratic Party has left you behind, a broken sad victim of the party that wants to give everyone health care, a strong social safety net and equality. The tragedy of the Uncommitted.

They'll just make up a new story.

[maxrandb]

82. The Palestinians are the new Jews?

Everything old is new again

[lapfog_1]

83. "We just clean out that whole thing."

so... ethnic cleansing.
Egypt has never wanted refugees from Palestine.
I suppose this is why, when Trump Paused ( Ended ) all foreign aid there were 2 countries that got exceptions... Israel and... wait for it... Egypt.
I guess if they want that foreign aid to continue they better make some room in the Sinai for 1.9 million Palestinian refugees plus a few some leftover Hamas radicals.

Such a wonderful life ahead for the Palestinians of Gaza... living in the desert with almost no water, nobody that wants them there and nothing to look forward to. from one open air prison to another one, only worse

Oh, you can bet that Trump will be deporting as many Muslims as possible from the refugees that made their way here.

[PortTack]

84. So...Muslim Americans who voted for this...what did you think would happen? After all the yrs of oppression

You have suffered I’m amazed you are that easily conned!

95. I was pretty sure that was where things would go with him.

Hope all the people who wouldn't vote for Harris because of Gaza are happy.

[Daleuhlmann]

96. "Clean Out the Whole Thing"--as in Ethnic Cleansing?

Well, Orangey's war criminal buddy, fellow fascist Bibi, is doing a pretty.damn good job of that himself. Leave it these two to be in cahoots to turn the Gaza over to Israel so Trump's son-in-law can make a fortune building overpriced condiminiums over Palestinian families' graves.

[Sneederbunk]

98. Yet another distraction, that is all. Put it on the list next to Greenland.

[Figarosmom]

99. He thinks hes ruler of the world

I think he's going to find out how small the USA is with the wrong leader, when the rest of t b e world starts snubbing him.

As far as I know, Gaza has never been Israeli territory - it has always been Palistian

NOT!

How you like Mump NOW UISA Muslims that voted for THIS SHIT OR Stayed HOME to "Teach Kamala A Lesson"?!!

[Maru Kitteh]

143. But the SANE people who DID vote for Harris were getting scolded just yesterday

Told WE were the ones who "shot ourselves in the foot" by not taking the opportunity to grovel before the quadrenial purity brigade who have always been the willing tools of the worst possible actors in Presidential elections. They will NOT be satisfied, only the most ridiculous of candidates are “worthy” - and the goalposts are always set on gas-propelled casters.

Gas-lit pile of irrational, intellectually dishonest hippopotamus shit, that was.

144. The voters who stayed home or voted for a third party are giving Bibi everything he wanted

Donald Trump has a message for voters who disapprove of President Joe Biden’s Israel/Gaza policy from the left: The Republican intends to be vastly worse.

Link to tweet

Link to tweet

https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/trumps-hardline-position-us-policy-gaza-matters-rcna150391

In theory, Donald Trump might recognize the electoral opportunity and try to appeal to those who disapprove on the incumbent president’s Israel/Gaza policy from the left. In practice, the former president has an unsubtle message for Biden’s critics: If given the chance, the Republican intends to be vastly worse.

The Biden White House, for example, acknowledged this week that it is, as the Associated Press reported, “weighing measures to help Palestinians living in the United States who want to bring family from the war-torn region.”

Soon after, as Reuters reported, the presumptive GOP nominee shared his thoughts on the subject at a campaign rally.

“Your towns and villages will now be accepting people from Gaza and various other places,” Trump said, eliciting boos from the crowd. “Under no circumstances shall we bring thousands of refugees.” Last week, Trump described the pro-Palestinian protests as driven by “tremendous hate” while asserting that the violence at a 2017 white nationalist rally with some Trump supporters in Charlottesville, Virginia, when he was president was small by comparison.

Note, at one of his campaign events yesterday, Trump appeared to goad his followers in Wisconsin into booing Palestinian refugees.

Link to tweet

At the same event, the former president also vowed to restore and expand the Muslim ban he imposed during his first term......

The former president also endorsed ongoing Israeli military operations, saying, “We have to let Israel complete their war on terror. It’s a horrible thing, but they have to do it.” Trump added that Israel must “clean out the cancer.”
