‘The United States Can’t Invade Another Country’: Steve Doocy Pours Cold Water on Trump’s Gaza Take Over Plan

Even the very pro-Trump morning show Fox & Friends seemed taken aback by President Donald Trump’s surprise announcement that the US take over Gaza and push all Palestinians out of the area.

It was Steve Doocy, however, who convivially reminded the commander-in-chief (who seems to watch a lot of Fox & Friends) that the United States can’t just invade another country, though he presented that pushback in the form of praising Trump for creating a better negotiation position with what seems an outlandish plan for ethnic cleansing.

“I was struck by multiple things from the president,” Lawrence Jones started. “But the one thing? He does not want war. He kept saying it over. He wants the best for all countries. He wants them to work on their interests, even when he signed yesterday in the Oval Office. The maximum pressure campaign against Iran. He was like, I don’t want to sign this. I don’t want to have to sign this, but this is where we’re at.”

“And agree or disagree with the idea that he presented, he was talking about a new day for the Palestinian people,” he continued, “And that’s one thing. They haven’t had hope. You got all these kids from birth that are taught to hate another country to hate another people. They need something that can uplift them. I’m not saying this is the solution, but I’d like the conversation being started.”

“See, I agree with you, Lawrence,” Doocy chimed in. “I think this is just the tip. You know, this is the conversation starter because, obviously, the president knows when he says we’ll take Gaza. He knows the United States can’t invade another country. The last thing he wants to do is put boots on the ground in Gaza. I mean, you know, he is always in his first term. He was talking about how he would like to get out of every war in the Middle East.”

“What he did yesterday, by — I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt — I think what he did by saying, you know, look, if we take over and we redevelop it, I think that’s the first step in a negotiation, because he said the United States will redevelop it and the Palestinians will go someplace else. I think that’s the first step,” Doocy said.

“Now people are going, no, we can’t do that. Then he’ll go, okay, If we don’t redevelop it, who will? Suddenly it’ll be like, well, the United States and France and Russia or somebody like that. Where will the Palestinians go? Well, they’ll go here, here, here,” he concluded.  “I think this was his opening salvo. First idea. A lot of people saying you can’t do it. But maybe they could add to it and come up with something because the way it’s working is not working.”
