Over six months into his presidency, supposedly compelled by photos (no doubt captured by the same “legacy media” he has dubbed “the enemy of the people”), Trump has declared the starvation in Gaza is not “fake news,“ and therefore must be acted on immediately.

In fact, he is allegedly so appalled by the media photos he has seen that he has ordered feeding “enclaves” in Gaza and even threatened to recognize Palestine as a state if Israel doesn’t act to end the crisis.

This is nothing short of a stunning turnaround given Trump’s past 180 days of favorable statements towards Israel, chummy meetings with Netanyahu (one in which he gushed as Bibi presented him with a nomination for a Nobel peace prize, even as Israel was gunning down Palestinians who were standing in line for food), and complete silence regarding the mind boggling destruction and suffering in Gaza.

It was only a few months ago that Trump was day dreaming about turning Gaza into a Trump resort in an AI generated video posted to the official White House page that depicted him as the gilded ruler of the disputed territory, drinking with a shirtless Bibi on the beach, as money rained down from the sky over his pal (at the time) Musk.

There was no mention of the destruction and suffering at the time. In fact, Trump was saying that all of the Palestinian people would be moved to nearby states where they would enjoy prosperity and a wonderful new life. What changed? No telling, but chances are, the change didn’t start with a few appalling photos from the mainstream media.

It’s highly probable Trump is frustrated that Netanyahu refuses to honor Trump‘s cease-fire “deals,” which is jeopardizing Trump’s chances for his coveted Nobel Peace Prize, so he is using the starvation situation to shame Bibi into capitulation.
