Donald Trump‘s “Board of Peace” is one of the sickest jokes we’ve ever heard. Trump’s latest brainwave is to create a group chaired by himself that’ll rebuild and govern Gaza in the wake of his incredibly shaky ceasefire.
Potential members read like Trump is assembling a real-life Legion of Doom. Trump acolytes Marco Rubio and Jared Kushner are all present and correct. But then there’s British Prime Minister Tony Blair, whose cheerleading of the War in Iraq helped destabilize the Middle East and killed millions.
But compared to Trump’s newest recruit, Blair is practically Gandhi! That’s because Trump is apparently inviting *drumroll* Vladimir Putin to join. Ah yes, the famously peaceful Vladimir Putin, who even as we speak is raining bombs onto Ukraine as he dreams of Russian tanks rolling up the Champs-Élysées.
Insanity!

Confirmation of Trump’s offer came via the Kremlin, with its representative Dmitry Peskov confirming to journalists that Russia is currently seeking to “clarify all the nuances” of Trump’s offer. It’s reported that Trump is demanding $1 billion for permanent membership on this board, so the “nuances” may well be wondering if this is just some enormous grift on Trump’s part.
The hypocrisy of Trump being all buddy-buddy with Putin one minute and the next saying the conquest of Greenland is critical to counter Russia has also raised eyebrows. Peskov indicated that Russia’s position on that is currently neutral, saying simply that Trump doing it would “certainly go down in history”.
The vultures are circling
It should be fairly obvious that Trump’s “Board of Peace”, whose prominent members all have blood on their hands, doesn’t do what it says on the label. You should instead see it as a group of vultures circling over the ruins of Gaza, eager to make enormous profits from what they only see as some very desirable real estate.
With this new organization, Trump presumably hopes to make his twisted dream of a “Gaza Riviera” a reality, a plan which involves the mandatory relocation of the current population in exchange for “digital tokens”, building an AI-powered “smart city”, and constructing a colossal manufacturing hub apparently to be named after Elon Musk.
Frankly, if this monstrous-sounding project goes forth, we can’t think of anyone more appropriate to bring on board than Putin. After all, if your plan by design includes a lot of ethnic cleansing, who better to have on hand to advise you than him?
