View the various issues from the perspective that Trump is managing the hands he has been dealt, with a sincere focus on MAGA, and if he is successful he will have satisfied all his wants and needs, and potentially the wants and needs of the majority of world leaders and their citizens; and in the events where he is not, he will at least have promoted an environment where a moral group of people have the opportunity to treat each other with dignity and respect.

What would satisfy the wants and needs of the Palestinians? Would peace and economic prosperity be the primary needs? Could a moral environment serve as compensation for the animosity?

Ritter poses the question: Why would Trump talk to Putin about Gaza? ... and he goes on to explain that Russia started a process that brings 14 Palestinian factions together, including Hamas, to talk about what a post Palestinian government in Gaza would look like that wasn't called Hamas, but that had Hamas representation; and then China was informed, and requested to be included. And then Ritter goes on to explain that in Trump's mind, Bibi had the opportunity to deal with Hamas and he failed, so in Trump mind, he views the situation as his to deal with it as he sees fit (Trump is starting with a clean slate. There is no solution for the crimes of past generations.).

Trump is proposing solutions that satisfy the STATED needs of the various parties, and if unacceptable, then they can counter with their proposal. And for anyone who wants to be unreasonable, Ritter essentially points out that they will self identify as being an enemy of humanity, and provides examples of how they will be dealt with (for those that have an open mind and are able to glean information, I would suggest that this is an important discussion to view).

In regard to another assassination attempt, I would agree that he has some significant enemies, but as you imply, and we have seen, "Mr. Trump is a smart man and can connect the dots.", and in his MAGA endeavor, I would suggest that he (potentially) has the moral high ground. The trick will be to get his MAGA endeavor to take root so that it will succeed no matter his standing, and in this regard, it appears that he is surrounding himself with people who will defend and fight for his cause. Trump also appears to be having success in bringing primary world leaders to embrace his MAGA agenda.

Did you hear where ...

Modi says he aims to 'Make India Great Again'

... and at that same press conference with Modi, Trump said: "The countries will also team up to create "one of the

greatest trade routes in all of history," explaining that it would run from "India to Israel to Italy and onward to

the United States" and include ports, railways and undersea cables.".

There is only one explanation for this that I can think of:

... and it would explain his comments and actions regarding Gaza. Could a deal be crafted where Palestinians would embrace MGG (Make Gaza Great)?

We can hope that it doesn't just amount to scrambling a rotten egg.
