Re: Trump's new golf resort - Gaza
Maybe a MAGA and DOGE advocate can help me understand. How does the US clearing and developing an area across the ocean thousands of miles away, maintaining it, and creating jobs for the people there... put "America First"?
The World Bank estimates it'll cost about $18.5 billion to rebuild GAZA, and that's to put it back the way it was (i.e. repairing things that can, leaving things that are ok, etc.). So, for Trump's luxury Mediterranean sea front resort dream, figure that amount just for demo and removal of damaged and existing structures. Going to make Afghanistan reconstruction funds look like a kid's piggy-bank.

Couldn't the US force Canada and Mexico to pay for this new Trump World?Doctor Steuss wrote: ↑Thu Feb 06, 2025 9:52 pmThe World Bank estimates it'll cost about $18.5 billion to rebuild GAZA, and that's to put it back the way it was (i.e. repairing things that can, leaving things that are ok, etc.).

And why is housing, healthcare, fuel and a carton of eggs still costly? o_O
(The MAGA faux rage machine pretty much blew their wad well prior to the election, on DEI tantrums. I don’t know if there are enough remaining DEI targets at this point for Trump to work with for purposes of distracting the angry MAGA masses with regard to inflation, until the 2026 election.)

And could they please punch Tricare in the face for me while they're at it? Put that on the list, k? I mean it might only be a temporary distraction but I bet you'd see Tricare recipients coming out of the woodwork in favor of improving the system.

Maybe not inflation, but he could work them into a frenzy by saying he would outlaw moonshine.
