Freudian slip? Donald Trump talks about bullies; critics mock the president for seemingly speaking about himself without even realizing it

US President Donald Trump quite recently made headlines with his remarks about bullies while he was actually discussing his plans for Gaza, reported Huffpost.

According to Huffpost, speaking to reporters at the White House, US President Donald Trump characterized Hamas as ‘bullies’ and then suggested that they are the ‘weakest people’ which is the very statement that drew severe criticism from those who see it as a reflection of his own behavior. Also, he expressed extreme skepticism about Hamas meeting a deadline for releasing Israeli hostages while implying that their toughness is actually questionable.

The proposal from US President Donald Trump for Gaza involves the US taking control of the region while aiming to redevelop it into a stable area by relocating its approximately 2.3 million residents to the neighboring countries like Egypt and Jordan, asserted Huffpost. He now envisions transforming Gaza into ‘the Riviera of the Middle East’ in spite of the ongoing widespread condemnation and disbelief regarding the feasibility of his plan.


The backlash eventually includes the strong opposition from Palestinian leaders and regional allies while putting an emphasis on the fact that Gaza is not a commodity to be bought or sold, noted Huffpost. The remarks from US President Donald Trump have sparked a significant debate about the US foreign policy and its implications for Middle Eastern stability.
