Remove Gazans from Gaza? Trump’s Lunacy is on Full Display, Cannot Be Denied.

Aside from the illegality, impracticability, inhumanity and universal rejection of this monstrous suggestion, it’s also the worst thing the US could ever do inthe Middle East. Where is the 25th Amendment now that we need it?

Okay, we all know the President of the United States is not rowing with both oars in the water, is playing with a 51 card deck. When Congress enacted the 25th Amendment, with provisions to remove a Lear-like President, they had someone like Trump in mind. I realize we’ve gotten use to this dangerous crackpot, but since inauguration, his outbursts have revealed an even deeper insanity than we feared.

Invading Panama? Buying Greenland? Canada the 51st state? Remember “We’re gonna build a wall and Mexico’s gonna pay for it!” “We’re going to impose tariffs, and you’re gonna feel the pain, but not me or my buddies!” (I haven’t gotten to deporting millions, raiding workplaces, destroying our law enforcement and intelligence agencies, and nominating utter lunatics and incompetents for cabinet level positions.) For those who thought his insanity topped out when he accused Haitians of eating pets, his post inauguration proposals have been a very rude awakening.

Now he has proposed the most insane and dangerous plan of his nascent second time around: he thinks the US should send in troops, take over Gaza, expel the more than 2 million residents, and…….who knows exactly what, but it would be reasonable to expect Trump…
