One of Donald Trump's latest boasts to colonise the media agenda was the idea of turning Gaza into the "Riviera of the Middle East".
This should come as no surprise, it has always been the only strategy of the loudmouth and his ilk. Chaos for the sake of chaos. When it's not bluster, it's a lie, or both.
It is worth remembering that in his first term, Trump made an average of six false or misleading statements a day in his first year as president, 16 a day in his second year, 22 a day in his third year and 39 a day in his final year. In other words, it took him 27 months to reach 10,000 lies and another 14 months to reach 20,000. According to the Washington Post's tracking, Donald Trump reached and surpassed 30,000 falsehoods or half-truths in less than a year.
That was the legacy he left from his first term in office. A huge mountain of lies, bullshit and insults. And we will see the same thing again because they have no other way to survive.
It doesn't matter if it's just noise because they will soon cover it up with other noise so that we don't have time to process what they are doing in the back room and in public.
But neither can it be overlooked that behind the noise there are also many clues about intentions. The orange tycoon, a multi-millionaire thanks to the inherited brick business started by his grandfather and continued by his father, cannot hide the fact that it is in his blood. And where there is destruction and genocide he does not see people, only big business in reconstruction to finish shearing, cutting up and colonising Palestine.
