[Politics] Donald Trump, US President
- Thread starter Zeberdi
- Start date
Aid to Ukraine and elsewhere also stopped (not direct military aid/equipment seemingly [yet])
news.sky.com
Nearly all US aid programmes worldwide frozen after Trump order
Hours after taking office on Monday, Donald Trump ordered a 90-day pause in foreign development assistance pending a review of their efficiency and to check they are consistent with his foreign policy.
Trump's exploitation of his presidency for his own personal gain knows no boundaries.
He recently took credit for brokering the ceasefire in Gaza, but it appears that now that he's spotted an opportunity for further personal enrichment his faith in the ceasefire which he was so keen to take full credit for has suddenly and quickly started to wane.
He's now suggesting to completely clear out the Gaza strip and relocate over a million Palestinians to other neighbouring countries (which obviously doesn't include the US).
Once cleared his plan is to have the Gaza strip developed which he "might be able to have a role in". Of course he might, no doubt through the use of his own real estate companies.
Of course Trump had already identified Gaza as a prime piece of real estate location when his son in law Jared paid a visit there in 2024.
Trump has also offered to "help" build new housing for the displaced Palestinians which Trump himself has suggested, “could be temporary” or "could be permanent". I think we know which option he might favour, so not necessarily a guaranteed long term solution for the "refugees" . The cost of building the new, possibly only temporary, housing for the relocated refugees would of course be peanuts compared to the lucrative returns gained from the potential development of Gaza where their homes currently are.
Of course Trump has a history of forcing people out of their homes to further his business interests long before he was President when he built his golf course in Scotland, but with his new found power this is taking things to a whole new level of callous opportunitism, and this time cynically trying to cloak it under the veil of humanitarianism.....

To the disdain and outrage of his British supporters and sycophants who hilariously, he wouldn’t piss on if they were on fire!
He likes him so much he hasnt called him yet ha
Biden facilitated the war crimes and ethnic cleansing and now Trump is capitalising on it. Both in the pocket of Israel.

Saw the other day a Trump speech of him complaining about " Other nations releasing their violent criminals and murderers in our great country. "
Trump had just released 1,500 or so murderers and criminals but obviously that's different !
The real madness is his Greenland obsession. The arrogance and ignorance of his statements is truly breathtaking.

You may not have realised but this is 535 page thread on the new US President which suggests many Brighton fans have some kind of affiliation to US politics………like a kind of mania.
Maybe these people identify as American citizens.

I know Gaza supporters who refused to vote for "genocide Joe" (FFS) felt like they were being asked to vote for the lesser of two evils. But this is what the bigger evil looks like.
Gaza will become Miami Beach East. A playground for rich Westerners and Israelis. And the people that lived there for centuries will be relocated to the middle of the f***ing desert.
But you sure taught Joe a lesson! How dare he try to plot a middle course!

Trump is going to be really pissed off finding out that the UK has first option of buying Greenland due to an agreement from 1917.

Do you know which British politician in June 2019 said “an endorsement from Donald Trump tells you everything you need to know about what’s wrong with Boris Johnson’s politics and why he isn’t fit to be PM”.
Ouch.
The copium going on from many on the right with Trump praising Starmer is quite funny, to be fair
