He was asked about Israel's disposition toward all of that and his answer was we don't get thanked enough for the humanitarian aid we provide Gaza –– he completely dodged the question."

"Now, people who attribute strategy to Trump will say, well, that was good for him, he avoided getting into the gnarly and troublesome details of the Gaza war," he elaborated. "But then he continued on and on, and he proceeded to say at one point that Hamas was stealing humanitarian supplies. Trump's own government, I think just 2 or 3 days ago, after a study, said there was no evidence that Hamas was stealing supplies."

Noting that the president seemed unable to recall the name of Israel's Ariel Sharon, he called it a "another feature of these press conferences."

"It is not strategic rambling, it is profound ignorance on issues that are essential and important that he is ill-informed of, and that he doesn't care to study up on," he accused. "And it matters, it matters in how he presents himself."........................

Pedo Trump is an absolutely disgusting representative for a once proud nation. But as a symbol for greed, averice, lecherousness and ignorance, that pervades most out-of-control capitalist countries, he's perfect.

That report is at https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/usaid-analysis-found-no-evidence-massive-hamas-theft-gaza-aid-2025-07-25/

but as with any inconvenient truth, as reported there, the White House and State Department do not accept those findings, even though the report was produced internally.
