Donald Trump has suggested large numbers of Palestinians should leave Gaza to “just clean out” the whole strip, after ordering the US military to restart shipments of 2,000lb bombs to Israel.

The US president said he wanted Gaza residents to move to neighbouring nations, and that they could be displaced “temporarily or could be long-term”, after a phone call with Jordan’s King Abdullah on Saturday.

“I said to him: I’d love you to take on more because I’m looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now and it’s a mess, it’s a real mess. I’d like him to take people,” Trump said, when asked about the call.

He also suggested Egypt as a destination for Gaza residents, and said he would raise the issue with President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi on Sunday.

    Your argument doesn’t follow logic.

    1. you say voting for Dems would destroy it, but letting literal fascists get absolute power would also destroy it, permanently, while also destroying why change for actual leftists to gain power.

    2. for some reason you think it’s better to let the fascists win to destroy the center right, but not destroy the fascists by not allowing them to gain power continuously???

    3. you stated it’s not ethical to allow the Democrats to continue existing as they are because they’re not as a whole left wing and are also causing harm, but it’s ethical to have many more suffer? That’s just hypocrisy.

    4. you assume the DNC is dumb rather than corrupt

    5. you assume you’ll still have a legitimate democracy after Trump.

      “it” the first time being the democratic party. We cant prop up a far right dem party. correct.

      Your second use of “it” is the republic itself.

      Call me names all you want, or disagree all you want, thats fine with me.

        But you’re literally propping up a much farther right republican party, and the dissolution of any democracy.

        That is, by definition, hypocrisy. That’s not me calling you a name, that’s pointing out a fact in your actions.

        Your actions and stated desired ultimate outcome simply don’t match.
