Matt Wolfson on Trump's plan to take over Gaza.
"Troublingly, digging into the plan’s inception suggests that, far from being a sudden brainchild of the president’s or even a negotiating gambit, it was pushed inside the Trump campaign and the White House for many months. Though it likely appealed to President Trump because of his successful background in real estate, this plan is miles away from a real estate play, though it was marketed as such. Instead it’s a political move made by domestic and foreign operators deeply embedded in the Washington institutions promoting permanent war—and delivering war’s consequences on Americans."
The deep state is formidable. They may have found a way to get their hooks in Trump by appealing to his background as a real estate developer. That's what they do - whoever's in power they'll find a way to create government spending that appeals to that president
