The article criticizes Donald Trump's proposal to develop Gaza Strip as a beachfront resort, arguing that it trivializes the Palestinian people and their history, and lacks feasibility. It compares this plan to his previous attempts to use real estate development as a solution to geopolitical issues, such as with North Korea and Ukraine. The article also discusses Trump's use of tariffs as a political tool, citing his inconsistent understanding of their economic impact. It concludes by highlighting Trump's tendency to prioritize narratives over facts and actions, emphasizing the power of storytelling in his political strategy.
To the man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail. And to the real estate developer in the White House, everything looks like a beachfront site for hotels and casinos.
On that point, let’s consider this week’s other pyrotechnic display: tariffs. A few days ago we stared into the economic abyss of a trade war when Trump announced new tariffs on China, Mexico and Canada, the last two on bizarre non-economic pretexts. None can claim to be taken by surprise: tariffs – “the most beautiful word in the dictionary” – were probably the most central plank of his re-election campaign.
The answer really depends on how much you like a story, and Trump seems to love them almost as much as waterside real estate. His whole candidacy was a story: the New York billionaire who chose to be an outsider, to fight for those who have been forgotten. His tribulations are a story: of his opponents within and outside of the deep state persecuting him because he threatens the established order.
