Love that this release refers to it as the Defense Department, not War Department.
Zing!

The fact there’s a man in our White House who constantly expresses his hatred for half of the country and makes clear his desire to strip away programs supported by Democrats should tell millions & millions why they need to be a part of the No Kings protest if they still believe in America.

For Trump, it's a transaction, of which he'll get a piece. He never does anything altruistic.
Those wealthy leaders assembled today are looking to carve up Gaza for investment purposes - Palestinians be damned.
