Trump just said the United States would pay $10 billion into the Board of Peace, which he created and leads.

He gave no details on where the money would come from or if the administration had even requested it from Congress, which would have to approve the funds

IMO, that's what the Board of Peace (BOP) is all about. He wants peace in Gaza so his construction project can begin. The $ 1 billion membership fee for nations to join BOP is going to fund construction of Herr Drumpf's personal project, his "Riviera of the Mideast."

Robbing the government, he is robbing the citizens that pay damn taxes. What is the Iran war already costing us just to deploy and sit off shore?
