“Move the people out.” It was disgusting then when I heard it and remarked on it, and it’s just as disgusting now.

Who would give anybody the right to “own” their own nation? Why would anybody with half a brain or even a semi-beating heart speak about the removal of two million people—with a multigenerational history of having already been driven out of their homes—in these terms?

It’s sick.

Who will pay to rebuild Gaza? You may have missed the news last week that Trump has started a sovereign wealth fund. Rupert Murdoch sat in the Oval Office to watch him sign the EO. This is one of the most under-reported and consequential things he's done. A sovereign wealth fund would presumably allow him to buy or invest in ANYTHING. Like Greenland. Like luxury real estate developments in Gaza. Like the next pet project of his new tech buddies. And where will the fund get its money? My guess: tariffs.

Yes but Congress will be the one responsible for actually appropriating the money for the fund, and my guess is it's political suicide to fund a sovereign wealth fund, before you've funded social security.

Trump can then just blame congress for inaction if you follow me...

So I don't see this going anywhere.

Obviously, I could be wrong....

Kara Swisher just shared a post that says former Morgan Stanley banker Michael Grimes will run the sovereign wealth fund, and they plan to fund it with tarif money.

Buckle up. Like Trump said, if you got any better ideas, speak up.
