Yeah that’s Trump. All he does is exaggerate. He’s got the biggest, the best, and most expensive. He’s a grandiose narcissist after all.

Well, I think more than what Sen Blumenthal of Connecticut said when asked what are the Democrats going to do? His reply was “Wait for our Republican friends to act (or do something)”. I think we’ll be waiting until the cows go home.

Trump is considering the dispossessing wholesale movement of Gazans to Libya. It’s like he’s heartlessly seeking to move people around like they are chess pieces on a board with no consideration for their identity and centuries of roots of having lived in Gaza.
