Trump on Gaza: “Everything begins with location. You see, I’m a real estate person at heart. It’s all about location.
“And I said: look at this location by the sea. Look at this beautiful piece of property — what it could become for so many people. It’s going to be incredible.”

There you have it, the Board of Peace is nothing more than a corrupt real estate deal dressed up as diplomacy with the sole purpose of enriching Trump and his favoured cronies.
Trump makes concluding remarks. He says Gaza ceasefire push began because he is “a real estate person at heart, and it’s all about location, and I said, ‘look at this location, on the sea, look at this beautiful piece of property’”.

Four VCs for UK forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. Two of them posthumous. An obvious question for his British admirers.
Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

The rise of Big Beef as an ally to fascism isn't surprising, but it does add an additional twist of Robber Baron absurdity.
The Dept.of Interior is sabotaging the MT bison restoration efforts of the group American Prairie, by revoking their permits, claiming that the allotments only be grazed by cows, not bison.
Yet another win for the beef industry, owned in large part by venture capitalists/tech bros.
