Clarice Feldman: Trump’s Second Week: A Turning Point in American Governance
2025-02-03
By Clarice Feldman

[AmericanThinker] In his second week of his second term in office, President Trump has asserted the right of the Chief Executive to effectively manage the Executive Branch. He has blindsided -- even gelded -- his detractors in the media and Congress, and issued an astonishing array of executive orders which reveal how tax funds have been flowing out of the Treasury to the benefit of the Deep State and its friends without regard (and often even being inimical) to the national interest. So much has happened that I cannot cover it all, but I will try to hit briefly and in no particular order some of the most significant developments this week.

GAZA
Trump has proposed that Gazans be relocated to Jordan and Egypt so that Gaza can be rebuilt and Hamas’ presence removed. Jordan and Egypt have balked at that notion but the President, who notes how financially dependent on us they are, insists it will happen. Amjad Taha of the United Arab Emirates details how this project makes sense. It would allow Gaza to be rebuilt more quickly, it would allow Gazans exposure to “different educational systems, ones that don’t glorify death and antisemitism.”
*Boggle*
He details the cost of providing for them and the history of Palestinians fomenting wars in the area. Taha concludes:

The solution must be approached logically, not emotionally. It has nothing to do with Israel itself. If you examine the situation, Israel wouldn't take Gaza even for free under any condition; it just wants Gaza free of hostages and rocket launches targeting its schools and hospitals. The real question is whether all the corrupt Palestinian leaders genuinely want a state, or if they merely use the idea of statehood as a rhetorical tool to create obstacles, resist peace or normalization, and fill their pockets and bank accounts.

And per Israel’s ambassador to the U.S., Israel and Saudi Arabia are closer than ever to normalizing relations.

Bulldozers and heavy bombs which Israel had ordered and paid for and on which Biden held up delivery have been delivered at last.
Also rifles. The Biden administration’s knife in Israel’s back was serrated.
