Trump insists Egypt, Jordan will take Gazans

19 comments

1. The US president continues to promote his proposal to transfer Gaza residents to neighboring countries, which have already expressed strong opposition to the move. “They’re going to do it. We do a lot for them, and they’re going to do it” he clarified in a conversation with White House reporters, without elaborating on the consequences if they refuse.

2. That board will be full of darts soon. 

3. As an Egyptian, I am glad our president is taking a hard stance at saying no. Dude wants us to help him do his ethnic cleansing bid. They are the ones who destroyed gaza and they are the ones who should fix it. Period.

   Moreover, Palestinians don’t want to lose their land and their homes. He should push for a two state solution and Egypt would gladly help setup the foundations for the new government and their infrastructure but taking gazans like that is a huge security threat where Hamas militants will definitely slip through and will definitely lead to a war with Israel and possibly huge internal instability in the future.

   Trump is a moron and he’s no worse than Hitler or Putin

4. Sionazis wants to finish the job

5. Trump: Genocide and you’ll help!

   Egypt/Jordan: What the hell is wrong with you?

6. How many refugees does he really expect Jordan to take? Jordan is already extraordinarily generous on this issue. For a population of 10.8 million they host 700k refugees already.

   It’s a difficult situation, I don’t think there’s an easy answer. Not sure exactly what Trump’s goals are here but it’s likely an uphill battle the whole way.

7. So the man who keeps ranting and raving about immigration into America is proposing immigration into other countries when it suits him.

8. This is political suicide for egypt jordan and Israel

9. Guys… guys… guys… what happens when people of Gaza say no? All of them or some of them, what then?

10. Have to think this has zero chance of happening

    The press keeps asking this question because other leaders deny it will happen and they go back to Trump for comment.

    Trump never admits he’s wrong or any weakness, so he’ll just insist it will happen forever no matter what. It’s his entire political identity.

11. Egypt and Jordan have refused to deal with Palestinians for decades.

12. It’s hilarious because this was totally predictable and yet…

13. Trump acts like this is some new idea of his. No dummy, it’s already been discussed and nobody is going to do it just because you say so.

14. Can I mention how bad of an idea this is? There’s history of Palestinian militants destabilizing Jordan and Lebanon and causing civil wars. Even if this were possible, it’s probably a very bad idea.

15. This guy’s entire shtick is doing things to people against their will and getting away with it

16. I insist US take in more Mexicans and Central Americans. See how easy it is.

17. Maybe the Middle East, in general, should cut the US off from oil along with Canada. Force more fracking and drain the Permian Basin in a much shorter time. Watch the strains of the supply and demand cause internal destruction.

18. Didn’t they already say no like yesterday?

19. This man just orders other sovereign governments what to do as if they’re federal employees. What a sociopathic bully. He’s been in power two weeks and he has picked arguments with so many countries. Frankly, I hope dozens of nations form a multilateral anti-America league.
