Trump is planning to deliver 40,000 - 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, weapons that prompted such concerns about mass casualties in Gaza that the Biden administration halted their delivery. There is little left to bomb in the ruins of Gaza except PEOPLE. Let that roll around in your head for a while.

Trump personally unveiled the new AF1 today, a converted Qatari jet (cost unrevealed). "This plane was transformed into a flying White House at a level of luxury that nobody's ever seen before," he said. People can't make ends meet, the country is in chaos, but not to worry - he has a new toy.
