    Stopping a genocide is the opposite of devolving. Trumps statement is a direct threat to Israel. There is no leverage or “worse” for Hamas. Democrats trying to spin Trump stopping the genocide into something bad is comical.

      Trumps statement is a direct threat to Israel.

      You realize he’s literally threatening Hamas here, no?

      “It will not be good for Hamas, and it will not be good, frankly, for anyone,” Trump said.

      He seems more likely to stop the genocide by allowing Isreal to just kill everyone so there’s no one left to genocide…

      They are more likely to give Israel a lot of leeway, including releasing Biden’s hold on the transfer of certain weapons to finish the job as soon as possible. Source

      Well, let’s see what happens.

      I also highly doubt he’s gonna do anything. Add on top of that, that very few outside countries seem to care about Trump, much less respect him enough to actually listen to anything he has to say.

          I’m sure all the money AIPAC gave to Trump has no impact. We know Trump to be such a non-transactional person. You drank a big ass glass of the MAGA koolaid dude. Netanyahu and Trump are very friendly, I’m sure he wants to make it look like Trump brought a cease fire for optics. Israel is losing support all over the world, even in Israel, they were pushing towards the optics of a cease fire for a while. You wait and see what really happens. I’m sure the author of the Muslim ban who constantly decries negatively towards Islam is going to stand up for the poor Islamic state over the rich lucrative Israeli state. 🤦🏻

          They already have weapons, both sides, and America doesn’t sit on the worlds supply of weapons. So that will get him nothing.

          His envoy pressing for a ceasefire seems to do very little, as everybody else has been doing the same for a while now.

          What else have you got?
