"Trump officials try to walk back president’s comments on Gaza ‘takeover’ – live"

This is not surprising, and it illustrates everything I have been trying to get across about Trump, today, and in the past. Trump just makes shit up, without thinking.

Trump just appears to have made this Gaza stuff up, off the top off his head, and even Netanyahu, doesn't seem to have known much about it.

People will wrongly assume, that being POTUS that this had already been worked out. No, Trump just made it up off the top of his head.

We see this a lot from Trump. When Trump was talking in the aftermath, of the LA wildfires, he started making shit up about sweeping the forest floors, like they do in Finland. Except this nonsense had already been dealt with in 2018.

Here we have the most powerful man in the world, who just goes around making shit up, about things he knows nothing about, and it ends up affecting the whole world, adversely.

Being as Trump is so powerful, and has such forces available to him, he can just order it to be done, even though it is totally unrealistic, quite likely impossible, and certainly, illegal.

Anyone remember when in 2020, during the COVID pandemic, Trump started making up shit about shining UV lights into people's bodies, and using bleach internally, to treat COVID?

That's right, Trump has got form as long as your arm for this. His climate change denial, tariff policy, his immigration policy, are all from the same source. Trump's random thoughts, where he just makes shit up, and tells people to do it, without thinking of the consequences.

I mean, WTAF, you have got Trump, and Space Karen, just going around, making shit up, and telling people to get on with it, and do it.

Scarcely believable, but that is how these dangerous clowns operate.

That is how crude Trump's climate change denial is. An impulse goes off in his head, he gets verbal diarrhoea and shit just spews out, then it is treated as fact, just because of who he is. This only works, because the media does not hold him to account, and is complicit.

The world is in the grip of the climate and ecological crisis, and this puppet of the oligarch's is just going around making up dangerous shit, so the billionaires can become trillionaires. Scarcely believable, but it's true.

10/edition.cnn.com/2024/09/17/bus…

The billionaires don't care, because their sole focus is getting even richer, and they bizarrely believe, that their money, will save them, from the climate crisis they are driving.

This delusion of the very rich, accumulating vast sums of money, and bizarrely believing they can take it with them, into the next life, has been going on for as long as there have been vastly rich men, in the last few thousand years.

All that lies behind this, are a handful of these conmen, because that is all they are, convincing the people, the public, that they know what they are doing, aided by bluster and the propaganda they buy with their wealth, corrupting our system.

Psychopaths, are masters at conning and manipulating people. It's just that they are no good at actually achieving what they claim to want to achieve. However, they're just not bothered. Nothing really matters to them, except getting what they want.

A lot of people will be put off, that I assert this so simply, without all the pseudo-intellectual hand-waving. Surely, this can't be true, but terrifyingly, it is.
15/

This is why we need to tax billionaires out of existence, if we want to save our civilization, much of humanity, and a large proportion of life on Earth. I don't need a book to explain what's wrong with the world.
