See... the thing is, I think you could sell a short, sharp war to the American people. Particularly when it comes to Iran and its WMD. But Gaza would require an Afghan style occupation.
The problem is Trump is legitimately stupid and evil enough that he thinks mass deportation or bombing the place to the ground is acceptable.
But there will be no Palestinians when he begins building Trumpville.
And this is legitimately one of the plot points of Cyberpunk 2077.
Everytime I think about it I get this sick feeling. Its the same feeling I got when I read about the Indian Removals and the missionary schools where they shaved the hair of native children and burned their cloths and beat them anytime they spoke their own language.
Trump's plan is the same thing, it's a new Trail of Tears, it's ethnic cleansing.
I think he is just talking. That strongman routine he does. All you got to do is call his bluff. In this case it would be a bluff.
No way would the world let Trump order the US military to level Gaza. I am confident that other countries would stand up to him. He will back down and claim some vague victory. His supporters will call him a genius.

I'm not overly religious but I pray you are right.

I hope I am right. He says alot. Though this time he has enough support to bypass Democracy to do things he wants to do. Even if it's fundamentally wrong. It would be up to the rest the world to call him on his bullshit.
That doesn't make sense.
1. The U.S has no jurisdiction over people from other countries outside the U.S
2. What about people born intersex like that female boxer that had the controversy for no reason?

He's said that visa requests for trans athletes will be auto-denied.
If your sport has any events in the USA and you're trans, you aren't going to be able to attend them.
The next Summer Olympic Games are being held in LA.

I mean, so much of what Trump has done has been assumed to be impossible. Israel has also already killed 46,000 people and 1.9 million AKA 90% has been displaced. I don't think people realize that it's already mostly been done.
Because they assumed that more people would have reacted.
