WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Tuesday he wants the U.S. to take ownership of the Gaza Strip and redevelop it after Palestinians are resettled elsewhere.
“We will own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site,” Trump said a start of a joint news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Well if there is, they will send you to checks notes El Salvador. El Salvador? That shit came out of left field. Is it nice there? Any extra judicial killings or what not?
El Salvador has a president who has gutted what used to be a democracy and runs the country as an autocrat. Trump and his fellow scumbags (Marco fucking Rubio for one) are watching him with admiration and taking notes.

The right loves him because he reduced the rates of crime in El Salvador.
Problem is that his approach was to just throw everything that moves in a slightly funny way in jail. This does admittedly reduce crime, but in a similar way to how a nuclear bomb really is the most effective crime reduction tool - if you kill everyone on the planet, no one can commit any crimes, hence the crime rate will be 0.
According to his own government’s statistics.
He has also offered to house (which probably means “neglect, enslave and torture”) immigrants sent to El Salvador by the Musk/Trump junta.
