THE PRESIDENT: Well, I hope by the beginning of the weekend — I mean the end of the weekend.
At least, my —

He’ll say fucking anything, like blaming this genocide on Mexico for not being a good enough neighbor to Palestine.

Hamas: “. . .”

And in all likelihood this will never happen either.
Which is why it makes zero sense why people give him credit for what he says he’ll do.
