What would MAGA say if Biden had proposed using US troops to kick out the entire population of the Gaza Strip and seized the land?

President Trump floated two bombshell ideas Tuesday about Gaza that has Palestinians, Israelis and the wider Middle East scrambling.

The first: that the U.S. would take over the territory. "The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip," Trump said in a White House press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "We'll own it ... We have an opportunity to do something that could be phenomenal ... the Riviera of the Middle East."

The second: that Gaza's entire population would relocate to other countries. " We should go to other countries of interest with humanitarian hearts, and there are many of them that want to do this, and build various domains that will ultimately be occupied by the 1.8 million Palestinians living in Gaza, ending the death and destruction and, frankly, bad luck," he said.

Somehow I doubt the reaction would be "Nah, he would never do that."

The speaker of the US House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, has welcomed President Trump’s Gaza proposal, saying it could help achieve “lasting peace in Gaza”.

Responding on X to a clip in which Trump suggested the US should “take over” Gaza, Johnson wrote: “The United States stands firmly with Israel and the people of the Middle East, which haven’t experienced peace in many, many years.

I realize that saying and doing are two different things, but that isn't totally true when you are the world's superpower. Threats have repercussions too. Like his threats against Panama.

President Donald Trump reiterated his vow to “take back” the Panama Canal on Sunday, warning of “powerful” US action in an escalating diplomatic dispute with the Central American country over China’s presence around the vital waterway.

“China is running the Panama Canal that was not given to China, that was given to Panama foolishly, but they violated the agreement, and we’re going to take it back, or something very powerful is going to happen,” Trump told reporters.

Plus Trump's SoS.

In his inauguration speech, President Trump accused Panama of violating the terms under which the U.S. handed over the Panama Canal. “We’re taking it back,” he declared. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, during a visit to Panama this week, told President José Raúl Mulino that “absent immediate changes,” the U.S. will “take measures necessary to protect its rights” in the canal. The U.S. has a serious legal basis on which to contest—including by military intervention—what it regards as impermissible foreign influence in the canal.
