Donald Trump’s Gaza proposal might be his most unhinged move yet

When convicted criminal Donald Trump held a press conference today with indicted criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, no possible good was going to come out of it. Netanyahu is as bad for Israel as Trump is for the United States, and they both thrive on chaos.
Sure enough, Trump used the event to announce that he wants to forcibly remove all Palestinians from Gaza. Where are they supposed to go? Trump of course didn’t have an answer for that. This would be forced relocation at best and ethnic cleansing at worst. Trump also said that he’s open to sending the U.S. military to take over Gaza.
As Senator Chris Murphy said, this isn’t a realistic proposal and it’s unlikely to happen. But it is a dangerously insane enough proposal that we do have to stop and push back against it โ which leaves less bandwidth for pushing back against everything else Trump is doing. Which of course is the whole idea. But we have to keep pushing back on all fronts no matter what, and we will.
