Tell him that if he does, we’ll give him the Nobel Peace Prize. ---

Tell him he can build that [casino](https://www.npr.org/2025/02/26/nx-s1-5309695/trump-gaza-video) in the West Bank instead. ---

You have to make it seem like Israel is spiting him, and somehow he’ll be a hero for supporting Palestine. You’d also have to get maybe 40 million of his supporters to stop being evangelical Christians, and I don’t know how that could be done. ---

The Saudis could just pay him off like they do for everything else they get from Trump. Which makes me think that’s not really something they want. ---

Knowing him, Trump will start rambling about Palatine needing to secede from Cook County because Charlie Kirk got shot at a Brown’s Chicken and it started a massacre. ---
