Hamas ignored President Donald Trump's "last warning" to release the remaining Israeli hostages, saying it will only free them under a lasting ceasefire deal.

Surely, he's going to get removed from office at this rate?

“Shalom Hamas” means Hello and Goodbye - You can choose. Release all of the Hostages now, not later, and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you. Only sick and twisted people keep bodies, and you are sick and twisted! I am sending Israel...

"Shalom Hamas" means Hello and Goodbye - You can choose. Release all of the Hostages now, not later, and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you. Only sick and twisted people keep bodies, and you are sick and twisted! I am sending Israel everything it needs to finish the job, not a single Hamas member will be safe if you don't do as I say. I have just met with your former Hostages whose lives you have destroyed. This is your last warning! For the leadership, now is the time to leave Gaza, while you still have a chance. Also, to the People of Gaza: A beautiful Future awaits, but not if you hold Hostages. If you do, you are DEAD! Make a SMART decision. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW, OR THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY LATER!

Full on nutter mode.

Presumably, that means he feels that Israel had been holding back before - which is... erm... yeah...

Not enough for the DJI to keep diving downwards

The Stock Market Was One of Trump’s Favorite Talking Points. Not Lately.

Since his inauguration last month, President Trump has been relatively muted about the stock market. Investors are getting worried about an impending sell-off.

Strumpet's favourite metric for his economy.

I think realistically maybe they did a little under pressure from Biden. Now the orange one appears to be green lighting them to let lose and **** any civilians who get in the way or conventions of war.

If i was in Gaza I'd be even more terrified about what is about to come.

I just don't get how these things don't bounce back and do any damage…so many stories of things like this…and yet too many people shrug it off

Because the far right have completely abandoned any semblance of reasoning and instead are being driven wholly by emotion.

Makes you wonder really. With the easy of access to higher education now, you would think we would be smarter than this on average, but I know first hand in my line of work that's simply not the case - educated or not.

The Internet hasn't helped in a lot of ways mind. Some people don't want facts and only seek confirmation to their own thoughts.

Well his stated main goal in Ukraine is to "stop the killing" on "both sides" as he aims to bring about peace. Yet his previous comments on Gaza weres to "let it play out".

All the muslim and Arab Americans who voted for him out of protest might finally wake up and smell the coffee soon.

I doubt it. He said Mexicans who came over were criminals and the worst of society being dumped on the USA. A sizeable chunk of Mexicans still voted for him knowing he thought they were criminals who should be deported...

Apparently 42% of Latinos voted for Trump, the highest of any Republican president.
