President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House Tuesday that he believes the United States “will have Gaza,” citing “US authority” to claim the enclave.
“We’re going to have it, we’re going to keep it, and we’re going to make sure that there’s going to be peace and there’s not going to be any problem, and nobody’s going to question it, and we’re going to run it very properly,” Trump said during a meeting with Jordanian King Abdullah II on Tuesday.
The president said he’d like to see Gaza developed into lucrative property for resorts and office buildings. Pressed by reporters in the Oval Office for what would allow the United States to seize control of the sovereign territory of Gaza, Trump replied, “under US authority.”
Also on Tuesday, Trump rebuffed the idea that the US might purchase the land in question.
“We’re not gonna have to buy … we’re gonna have Gaza, we don’t have to buy, there’s nothing to buy,” he said. “It’s a war-torn area. We’re going to take it, we’re going to hold it, we’re going to cherish it, we’re going to get it going eventually, where a lot of jobs are going to be created for the people in the Middle East. It’s going to be for the people in the Middle East, but I think it could be a diamond.”

It’s the golden rule! “He who has the gold makes the rules”
Jordan cannot refuse nor can Egypt because America give them billions each year. Trump can threaten to give them nothing if they don’t take in the Gazans. Trump knows his power here and so does everyone else. But Trump is the first president of the USA who has the guts to do it……
“but I think it could be a diamond” I haven’t laughed this hard in awhile!
