Hold onto your hats, folks, because the latest curveball from Donald Trump’s playbook is a doozy.
In a CBS 60 Minutes interview with Ahmad al-Shar’a, the head honcho of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) in Syria, host Margaret Brennan dropped a bombshell quote straight from Trump’s lips: “He described you as a handsome, tough man with a powerful past.”
Al-Shar’a, a guy with a rap sheet that includes a U.S. terrorist designation, tried to lean into it with a laugh, saying, “Do you doubt that?”
Brennan wasn’t having it, clapping back: “I don’t doubt your powerful past… that’s why you were labeled a terrorist!”
Oof. The charm offensive crashed and burned like a bad Tinder date.
But let’s cut through the noise: Trump’s out here fawning over an ISIS-linked warlord, tossing “handsome” around like it’s diplomatic confetti. Bro, what’s next—bending the knee to every foreign strongman with a pulse? This ain’t just weird—it’s a national embarrassment.
Let’s get one thing straight: Al-Shar’a isn’t some random rebel with a cool beard. This dude’s group, HTS, has roots tangled up with al-Qaeda and the kind of jihadist vibes that make “ISIS” a household name for all the wrong reasons.
The U.S. still has a $10 million bounty on his head, yet Trump’s acting like he’s hyping up a contestant on The Bachelor.
“Handsome, tough, powerful past”? Sounds like Trump’s ready to slide into al-Shar’a’s DMs with heart-eyes emojis.
It’s not just the compliment—it’s the vibe. It’s the kind of groveling that makes you wonder if Trump’s auditioning to be the hype man for every dictator, warlord, and terrorist from Pyongyang to Damascus.
And for what? To cozy up to a guy whose resume screams “global security threat”?
This isn’t Trump’s first rodeo, either. He’s got a track record of bowing down to foreign heavyweights while tossing out compliments like they’re campaign swag.
Kim Jong-un? “Handsome, smart, great leader.”
Vladimir Putin? “Strong, brilliant, very capable.”
Now al-Shar’a gets the VIP treatment, too? It’s like Trump’s running a fan club for the world’s shadiest players.
Meanwhile, the U.S. is already on its knees for Israel, with billions in aid and endless diplomatic cover.
Now we’re supposed to roll out the red carpet for an ISIS-adjacent terrorist? Nah, man, this s*** needs to stop.
Calling al-Shar’a “handsome” isn’t just a weird flex—it’s a signal Trump’s ready to bend the knee to anyone who strokes his ego, even if they’re on the State Department’s naughty list.
And let’s talk about how this lands in the real world. Dudes don’t just go around calling other dudes “handsome” unless they’re selling something—or buying.
In locker rooms, boardrooms, or your cousin’s BBQ, you don’t hear, “Yo, Dave, your jawline’s giving rugged.” It’s not a thing.
So when Trump’s out here gushing over al-Shar’a’s looks like he’s casting Magic Mike: Syria Edition, it’s not just awkward—it’s suspect.
Is this diplomacy or a crush? Either way, it’s giving “please like me” energy to a guy who’s been dodging drones and running a militia, not posing for GQ.
And when you pair that with the broader picture—Trump’s endless fawning over foreign strongmen—it starts to look like he’s more interested in flattery than standing up for American interests.
Look, maybe Trump thinks calling a terrorist “handsome” is some 4D chess move to broker peace.
Maybe he’s just being his unfiltered, chaos-agent self.
Or maybe—and I’m just spitballing here—he’s got a thing for power and aesthetics that’s starting to raise more than eyebrows.
Whatever it is, it’s a bad look.
We’re already tied up with Israel’s agenda, and now we’re supposed to play nice with an ISIS-linked warlord? Hard pass.
Trump needs to quit the fanboy act, stand up, and stop bending the knee to every foreign bad boy who catches his eye.
Because this? This is the kind of s*** that makes you wonder who’s really running the show—and why they’re getting valentines from Mar-a-Lago.

Written by Mansplaining Mike
Donald Trump wants a Nobel Peace Prize.
For what, exactly? For giving away half of Gaza to Israel and calling it peace?
For turning the largest open-air prison on Earth into a smaller, tighter one — then patting himself on the back?
This isn’t peace. It’s a public-relations cover-up for apartheid.
Before the war: Gaza was already a cage
Let’s stop pretending Gaza was ever free.
Before October 7th, before this two-year bloodbath, Gaza was an open-air prison. Over two million people fenced in, blockaded by land, sea, and air. No airport. No port. Every calorie entering was measured by Israel’s military. Families separated by walls. Farmers shot for stepping across invisible lines.
That was life before the so-called “peace deal.”
And somehow, Trump’s plan manages to make it even smaller.
After the deal: Half of Gaza gone — and freedom with it
Under this new “ceasefire agreement,” Israel keeps roughly half of Gaza’s territory. It pulls back from dense urban zones but still controls border corridors, major roads, and buffer strips.
Everything that makes a nation sovereign — borders, airspace, security, food, water — stays under Israeli control.
Gaza will not have an army.
It will not control its own ports or skies.
It will not control its electricity or water supplies.
Every truck of food, every liter of fuel, every person crossing a border will still depend on Israeli permission.
That’s not independence.
That’s incarceration with better lighting.
Trump’s “peace” is really profit
Trump isn’t freeing Gaza — he’s franchising it.
Behind the scenes, the so-called GREAT (Gaza Reconstruction, Economic Acceleration and Transformation) Trust lays out a plan for mass “voluntary relocation.” Cash incentives for Palestinians to leave. A U.S.-chaired trusteeship to manage reconstruction money.
And then? A slick rebranding of Gaza as the “Riviera of the Middle East” — resorts, data centers, smart cities, luxury ports.
Translation: erase the people, keep the land, sell the view.
That’s not peacebuilding. That’s displacement for profit.
No sovereignty = no state
Even if Trump called it the “State of Gaza,” it would still be a colony in disguise.
Because a country without an army, without border control, without resource sovereignty, and without the right to defend its own people isn’t a country at all.
It’s a managed territory — a human filing cabinet for international bureaucrats.
Palestinians will have a flag, maybe an anthem, but no power.
It’ll be like a U.N. refugee camp with a logo.
Peace without justice is just surrender
Trump and Netanyahu can call this a truce, a breakthrough, even “the greatest peace deal in history.”
But if “peace” means the victims stay behind walls while the occupiers keep the land — it’s not peace. It’s pacification.
You can’t bomb a people for two years, cut their territory in half, control their food and water, then show up with a smile and say, “Congratulations, you’re free.”
That’s not diplomacy. That’s gaslighting on a global scale.
Why Trump doesn’t deserve the Nobel Peace Prize
The Nobel Peace Prize is supposed to honor people who reduce suffering, restore dignity, and advance justice.
Trump did the opposite.
He armed Israel to the teeth, bypassing Congress to rush billions in weapons during a genocide.
He endorsed a land grab, not a liberation.
He turned mass displacement into a business venture, then tried to sell it as peace.
Giving Trump a Nobel Prize for this would be like giving an arsonist a medal for putting out his own fire.
Final word
Donald Trump didn’t bring peace to Gaza.
He helped cement a system of occupation, then tried to trademark it.
He didn’t create a nation — he created a smaller prison with international investors.
He didn’t end a war — he just built a new wall and called it a deal.
If the world has any moral backbone left, it won’t hand out peace prizes for crimes against peace.
Because when you trade justice for optics, and human freedom for political theater, you don’t deserve a medal — you deserve a trial.

Take a good look at this meme. Netanyahu asks for $6 billion more? Trump approves. Argentina wants $20 billion? Trump approves. Musk and Bezos need billions for their empires? Trump approves. But when the average American family says, “My wife got cancer, I lost my job, can we at least get Medicaid?”—Trump says denied.
Written by Mansplaining Mike
This isn’t just a joke meme floating around. It’s the painful reality that exposes the truth: in Trump’s America, we come last.
“Saving Israel for Last”? No, America Comes Last
For years, the Q crowd kept repeating, “Trust the plan. We’re saving Israel for last.” But the truth has been the exact opposite: we’ve been putting Israel first and America last. Billions in taxpayer dollars flow across the ocean while our veterans sleep on the streets, our families can’t afford health care, and our kids drown in debt just trying to get an education.
Trump didn’t just “support” Israel—he went above and beyond, funding their hospitals (so they get free health care), funding their colleges (so their kids go for free), and sending endless aid packages year after year. Meanwhile, the average American is told to suck it up and pay higher taxes for worse services.
Trump the Lifelong Liberal
People forget: Trump was a liberal his whole life until he decided to run for office. He supported Democrats, he supported gun control, and now—look at his record—he’s talking gun grabs, red flag laws, and big-government control that sounds more like a communist playbook than America First.
Billionaires and Foreign Leaders Win, You Lose
Why is it that Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and foreign governments can get Trump’s approval for billions at the snap of a finger, but you can’t get affordable health care in your own country? Why is it that Israel’s hospitals are better funded than the ones here, and their kids have free college while American kids drown in loans?
It’s because Trump isn’t putting America first. He’s putting billionaires, globalists, and Israel first.
The Betrayal
Let’s call it what it is: a betrayal. Trump talks like a patriot, but he governs like a globalist. He pretends to stand with the working man, but the working man gets nothing while his billionaire buddies cash out. He claims to defend our rights, but then pushes red flag laws and other anti-gun nonsense.
The truth is ugly, but it’s staring us in the face: Trump doesn’t love America. He loves power, money, and Israel. And every time he says “America First,” remember this meme — because the reality looks a lot more like “America Last.”

Does the Holocaust Give Cover for What’s Happening to Palestinians?

Written by mansplaining Mike
I came across something Charles Manson once said that made me stop and think. Now, don’t get me wrong — Manson was a madman, not someone anyone should look up to. But sometimes even madmen say things that force uncomfortable questions.
Manson suggested that some groups build power by leaning into their role as victims. That thought led me to wonder: Would Israel be able to do what it’s doing to Palestinians if it weren’t for the memory of the Holocaust?
Think about it. Every time international outrage grows over bombings in Gaza or the endless occupation of the West Bank, what comes back? The reminder: “Never forget. Never again.” And yes, the Holocaust was real, horrific, and one of the darkest crimes in human history. No sane person denies that.
But here’s the hard part: does that history now get used as a shield for Israel’s government? Do the horrors of the past give today’s leaders a kind of immunity — a way to silence critics by accusing them of antisemitism the second they speak up for Palestine?
Because if that’s the case, then we’re watching tragedy upon tragedy. One group’s suffering in the past is being used to justify another people’s suffering today. And that’s a cycle of victimization and violence that should make every moral person uncomfortable.
So I’ll leave it with this question: If there had been no Holocaust, would the world let Israel get away with what it’s doing to Palestinians? Or is the story of victimhood what keeps it untouchable?
What do you think?
