The establishment media gave extremely negative reviews to President Donald Trump’s announcement that the U.S. would take control of Gaza, underscoring Americans’ mistrust of the media.
The announcement immediately caused many reporters to spread conspiracy theories and suggest Trump would be starting a war in Gaza, while members of the radical left rushed to the White House to protest the historic announcement. “The US will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too,” Trump said Tuesday night. “We’ll love it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous bombs and other weapons on the site … and get rid of the destroyed buildings [and] create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing.”

Oh nooo’s! Trump may have actually come up with a way to end the cycle of violence in Gaza? That’s not how things are done! Joe Biden understood that!
I will offer you some advice I found helpful when given to me
Use the 72 hour rule. Until 72 hours are past don’t take the media reporting on anything President Trump supposedly said seriously Watch and see how how events shake out.
There is no need to formulate an immediate opinion base on reporting. Certainly we should not take too seriously anything reported by the old media. They have demonstrated for years to be knowingly spinning their reporting to favor Democrat party narratives.
Anything the US Government does on this large a scale will take months if not years to put into action
There will be plenty of time to form a rational opinion rather then reacting emotionally today For all we know
this nothing more then a negotiation gambit by the President to force the Arabs nations to find a solution
Exactly, and they fall hook, line and sinker for each one. Even some here do the same.
I picked on you for an adjective chosen in haste. Not necessary on my part, but I tend to read slowly, think slowly, and act rashly.
I treat all reports other than Sacred Scripture as suspect to some degree, but not slavishly. It’s a 67-year as opposed to a 72-hour rule.
The response is entirely predictable, which is probably why Trump announced it the way he did. Take him seriously but not literally. The media never learns.
The idea is brilliant in concept, would require refinement of course, and he may not be able to get it done, but it still is the most creative win-win-win solution to the mideast mess we have ever seen. No wonder the constipated media is grunting and groaning.
