Donald Trump told Israel to allow “every ounce of food” into Gaza as he acknowledged for the first time that there is “real starvation” in the region.
The US president told reporters that Israel bore “a lot of responsibility” for the crisis in a rebuke to Netanyahu, who had claimed earlier on Monday that there was “no starvation in Gaza”.
Asked whether he agreed with this assessment, Trump said: “I don’t know. Based on television, I would say not particularly, because those children look very hungry.”
He later added: “We can save a lot of people, I mean some of those kids. That’s real starvation; I see it and you can’t fake that. So we’re going to be even more involved.”
Didn’t this admin just order 500 tons of food aid to be destroyed?
Shhhh shh shh sssshhhhhhhh…… don’t worry about that!
Come on, guy, relaaaaaaxxxx
Asked whether he agreed with this assessment, Trump said: “I don’t know. Based on television, I would say not particularly, because those children look very hungry.”
This is the man in charge of the most capable intelligence gathering operation in human history, and he still judges things based on what he sees on TV. What an idiot.
This guy wouldn’t know what a hungry child looks like if one hit him over the head with each of his own golf clubs in quick succession.
Hard to say, I suggest we run the experiment. Will need a large group of children, and control groups, want a decent sample size.
