Land Fraud of the Century

Sure, everyone said about Trump, he vowed to go after his adversaries with lawsuits, he wanted a former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman  executed, he vowed to indict any Democratic presidential candidate for 2028  who does better then he in the polls, and sure, he even wanted to add thirteen states to the Union by perpetrating an Anschluss of Canada - ten provinces and three territories - but, no, he's not another Adolf Hitler.  Like, he wouldn't have an area ethnically cleansed for American expansion!

Then Trump announced his plans for the Gaza Strip.

He wants to deport the Gaza Palestinians - all two million of them - and send them to Jordan and Egypt so the Strip can be populated by non-Palestinians . . . and build casino resorts there.

In fact, this is not unlike the Third Reich's plans for Poland when German armies invaded and occupied that country in its quest to expand German populations into eastern Europe.  The Governor General of occupied Poland,  Hans Frank, went into great detail of how this land would be Germanized and cleared out for German settlement:  "The Pole has no rights whatsoever. . ..  A major goal of our plan is to finish off as speedily as possible all troublemaking politicians, priests, and leaders who fall into our hands. I openly admit that some thousands of so-called important Poles will have to pay with their lives. . . ..  Every vestige of Polish culture is to be eliminated. Those Poles who seem to have Nordic appearances will be taken to Germany to work in our factories. . ..  The rest? They will work. They will eat little. And in the end they will die out. There will never again be a Poland."

As we all know, after the Soviet Red Army liberated Poland in 1945, the borders of Poland were redrawn, and, in exchange for their eastern land being annexed by the U.S.S.R., the Poles acquired Pomerania, East Brandenburg, and Silesia from Germany. Every vestige of German culture in those regions was eliminated, as Germans were rounded up from these areas and transferred to what remained of Germany, and Poles moved into the cities in said regions.  There will never again be a Breslau - only a Wrocław.

Hitler also had big plans for the conquered Soviet republics of Belorussia (now Belarus) and Ukraine that parallels Trump's plan for Gaza - rebuild it as a Mediterranean resort, a Mar-a-Lago for the Middle East.  The Führer claimed rights to German annexation of Ukraine because the ancestors of the Germanic peoples, the East Goths, had settled there, meaning that, historically, according to Hitler, Ukraine was part of Germany already. Once the Slavs and Jews were cleared out for German lebensraum - "living space" - he would build new towns and establish new farms for the German people to settle in, with new inns to be built at interchanges along new autobahns for people traveling between the Ukrainian hinterlands and Berlin, as his court architect Albert Speer remembered.  Hitler particularly wanted what we would today call a Disneyfied redevelopment of Belorussia  and Ukraine - the houses would be unintentional parodies of traditional Germanic architecture, with the low-slung roofs, wide windows and shutters, and whitewashed plaster widely associated with villages in fairy tales, while the new towns would have centers that would essentially be copies of Munich.  Heinrich Himmler even suggested that the new houses should have flower boxes along their windows.

Say what you will, the Nazis had better taste in aesthetics.  Because you know that every building Trump will want to build in the Gaza Strip will look like Trump Tower in New York, except for those that will resemble Trump's Castle in Atlantic City. 

Trump could get this country into a war if he tries to pull this off.  If he does try, than the resulting war will not only end badly for the United States, it will especially end badly for Trump, who will likely be "retired" from leadership.  Only question is whether it will be Congress or the people who do the retiring.
