Those Epstein files must really be bad for him if he's throwing this out as a distraction.

Exactly. He’s even trying empathy and basic humanity as means to change the topic
Empathy is the VERY last tool in a grifter's toolbox.
He must be freaking the fuck out.
I honestly don't believe Trump is capable of feeling 'troubled' by anything other than his own problems. If this results in aid actually getting to Gaza, though, it's a net positive, whatever his motivations.
Prompting him to pretend to push for more aid.
Trump cares only for Trump.
In a rare public rebuke, Trump said Monday that he does not agree with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's assessment that no one is starving in Gaza.
"Based on television, I would say not particularly," Trump said. "Because those children look very hungry.”
Based. On. Television.
"I can unequivocally say that what happened to innocent people in Israel on Oct 7th was horrific," Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., a close Trump ally, wrote Sunday on X. "Just as I can unequivocally say that what has been happening to innocent people and children in Gaza is horrific. This war and humanitarian crisis must end!"
Hate to agree with this ****, but this is exactly correct. This is the issue with politics becoming so polarized. People are choosing their team over reality. Republicans (mostly) are choosing party and power over morality.
I'm not holding my breath. He does not give a shit about starving children. Someone made a deal with Trump - feed the kids and we'll buy more from the US - or something.
This guy is dead set on turning Gaza into a golf resort. https://time.com/7212848/trump-gaza-own/
That's the con - defund and delegitimize until all that's left is rubble. Then you buy what's left at a fractions of a penny on the dollar.
However, if this action increases his popularity and gets his followers to push him towards doing more for humanitarian aid, that's a huge step in the right direction. Maybe we could get more funds for FEMA and NOAA.

Bruh...
This is one time "both sides" are valid. A shit ton of lifelong dem voters were fine when Biden was doing the genocide, and changed minds as soon as it was trump. They were/are blindly supporting their team.
I've said since Biden was still in office: he has no line, he will let Israel do anything it wants.
trump is fine with horrible shit from anyone if he feels he's getting something. It's why Bibi supporting trump never made any sense. He gains nothing because there was nothing Biden/Kamala wouldnt let him do.
Support for Israel isn't popular among either parties voters, but it's popular with the vast majority of elected politicians from both parties.
This isn't the only item of policy like that the majority of the progressive platform is that stuff: things voters want but politicians are bribed to never let happen
Luckily, the DNC final cares more about votes than donations again
Sure.
How long ago was it he ordered a million pounds of food burned?
He'll stop giving a shit about Gaza as soon as people stop talking about the Trumpstein files.
So don’t stop talking about them!
Press X to Doubt.
Trump could go on to cure cancer, end world hunger, and usher us unto the stars and he'd still be a felon rapist traitor pedo.
Master of Empathy, him
Why would the idf need aid?? (I can't really understand he didn't mean/say that)
More aid means more Gazans going to aid stations means more targets for the IDF.
