"On Tuesday, at a stunning joint press conference alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump announced the US will be taking over and running Gaza, potentially for the foreseeable future.

“Everybody I’ve spoken to loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land, developing and creating thousands of jobs with something that will be magnificent,” Trump told reporters after a three-hour meeting with Netanyahu. "

    “Only the US could bring great stability to that region” bro you’re literally 90% of the fucking problem in the Middle-East.

    Also damn, I hope the people who abstained from voting based on the Democrats’ [shitty and weak] stance on the situation are happy now.

      Whoa whoa whoa. As a proud English man, I can’t sit idly by and let you lay all the blame on the US! England is the reason for at least 80% of the problems, with the US only really coming along after we’d set the ticking time bomb

      Get the fuck out with your American exceptionalism!

      They’ll just blame the Dems and the system for not fronting a decent candidate. Y’know compared to putting an insurrectionist felon rapist and, apparently, ethnically cleansing self aggrandizing moron in charge.
