@@SkyForgeVideos I agree with Stephen A, how I’m interpreting Trump rebuild of Gaza “Riviera of the Middle East.” Which means he wants Gaza in his opinion to be a vacation spot. Go look up Shock Theory. It will explain what Trump may be attempting to do. Nevertheless, if he truly wanted to rebuild Gaza Strip for locals, then he would have expressly stated that & that would be the priority. End of discussion. Talking about it being a vacation spot after it was destroyed & people killed is insensitive & not like a true statesmen.

Sounds like you’re trusting Trump too much

[@secretaprentice11]

Yes, please tell me what masterful logic trump bestowed upon us which makes it clear why forcing nearly 2 million people out of their homes and once again getting us involved in the middle east makes sense.

[@SwoopieShark]

Sounds like you voted for a traitor to his own country. This is exactly how WW2 started witht the nazis. History is repeating itself.

[@josephbudd3712]

He probably likes to hear himself talk

Stephen a smith knows his role when it comes to the chosen people. Respect.

[@Brightway-x9d]

So, what are your alternative solutions? If you cannot come up with a solution to fix this hundred years mass, then let him do the job, we have witnessed numerous stunning results from president trump in 2 weeks

[@Brightway-x9d]

Gaza people will eventually be the first group of people who benefit from Trump's plan. Watch!

[@Brightway-x9d]

His plan is to end the war once and all

[@Alarik52]

Haha, gotta love when people see media stunts and think it's real news. Folks trust anything these days so long as it's the right tribe.

[@johnlicitra2706]

There is NO WAY we're going to take over Gaza. The discussion is a different version of Canada becoming the 51st state. BUT, Trump's salvo may, just may, initiate discussions and positive opportunities for the region that heretofore have never been discussed or even considered. I'm all for trying things that change the status quo when the status quo has failed.

[@cpgamer8340]

He's trying to bring peace and help Israel

[@sharonbennett3318]

America should distance ourselves from Israel

[@decepticonxhunter4850]

This is not about helping Israel. It's about Trump chasing the Nobel Peace Prize for vanity issues like Jimmy Carter did. This plan does NOT and will not help Israel any more than him forcing Netanyahu to accept Biden's ceasefire ransom "deal" did. Think about that. Trump supported an anti-Israel _Biden_ policy.

[@TT-mf2cy]

Israel needs to give us our damn money back! They have enough help.

[@Alarik52]

Israel created it's own problems (Haavara agreement) - we have our own problems. Our taxes are for American help. Israel may have the best secret surveillance tech of the world, but that doesn't benefit regular american's working to make ends meet.

[@peterthomson6457]

He's talking about owning the plan at least he has a plan for peace . He understands that showing the people how they CAN live their lives without Hamas peace can be achieved.

[@lordbeerus6182]

They don't wanna leave. You can't force them

[@peterthomson6457]

@lordbeerus6182 like California refusing access to people's homes because of "toxic " fumes how toxic do you think Gaza is ? They will be allowed back as better housing is built .Hamas will not be.

[@decepticonxhunter4850]

If Trump truly wanted the ppl to live without Hamas, he wouldn't have forced Netanyahu to accept a "deal" that allowed Hamas to roam the streets again. I would be the first to defend Trump's domestic policies as an independent, but his record in the Middle East so far can be summed up as being one of pure insanity.

[@rayvv1979]

Hol' up. In what universe is kicking millions of people out of their own country a "plan for peace"? That's like saying there wouldn't be a war of we just nuke all other countries. The lack of education and awareness in MAGA circles is depressing. There are toddlers that can conjure up more logical choices than you lot. Anyway, let me know if there were big words in that. Happy to rephrase in Sesame Street speak.

Prez Trump, would you PLEASE HELP THE PEOPLE IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY. The US!!! You already have a lot to do here. Homelessness, outrageous inflation, families in financial distress, seniors can’t enjoy their golden years, housing, injustice in certain groups, grocery, education system, healthcare system & insurance on and on. People are stressed the heck out and you are talking about what you are going to do to help other countries before your own? 👀 Snap out of it Sir. You are off track. Get it together. The citizens are upset and hurting. 🙏🏾 P.S. Mr. Trump, pray before you make a move on Gaza. It is now in the spiritual realm. 🙏🏾☝🏾

It's ridiculous for us to lead the effort to redevelop the strip? Worked out pretty well after WW2 and the Korean War.

[@decepticonxhunter4850]

Yes, it is ridiculous. Just like it was ridiculous for the U.S. to help Germany rebuild itself after the Allied Forces specifically stated that Germany should not ever become a militarized power again for the sake of the world.

[@vinasel96]

Exactly. Smith is no history buff! Lol
