Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear blast the notion that Donald Trump is “anti-war,” exposing both his call for the US to “take over the Gaza Strip” and the real motives behind his and Elon Musk’s defunding of USAID. They explain how Israel failed to seize control of Gaza, yet Trump, who hasn’t ruled out US boots on the ground, seems to think he can accomplish what Israel’s destructive genocide could not. Rania and Eugene also explain how Trump and Musk’s defunding of USAID, a key soft power tool of the national security state, isn’t a challenge to the “regime change imperialist system” but a power struggle over who controls it.
