"President Donald Trump declared, "Peace is so destructive for everyone, even countries that aren't involved," when answering questions about his pay-to-play "Board of Peace." Trump revealed his board this week as a way to resolve global conflicts that would rival the United Nations and execute his 20-point Gaza peace plan. (Trump has suggested he wants to turn Gaza into a huge beachfront resort.)"
"When asked by journalists about the board's high price to join, Trump responded, "That's a lot of money, but it's nothing compared to the value of peace. Peace is so destructive for everyone. Even countries that aren't involved. I mean, it's so destructive for everybody when you have wars." Numerous web commenters noted that Trump likely misspoke, confusing the word "war" for "peace." While speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland this week, Trump repeatedly confused Greenland and Iceland."
"No traditional U.S. allies have joined Trump's board. So far, its member nations include Bahrain, Morocco, Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bulgaria, Egypt, Hungary, Indonesia, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Mongolia, Pakistan, Paraguay, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, and Uzbekistan. Trump recently took two meaningless peace trophies: the FIFA Peace Prize and the Nobel Peace Prize belonging to Venezuela opposition leader María Corina Machado."
President Donald Trump unveiled a pay-to-play 'Board of Peace' intended to rival the United Nations and implement a 20-point Gaza peace plan, including a proposal to turn Gaza into a beachfront resort. The board charges a $1 billion entry fee and designates Trump as its leader indefinitely, even after his presidency. Trump used the phrase "Peace is so destructive for everyone," a remark many commenters flagged as a misspeaking of "war." The initiative has attracted no traditional U.S. allies and lists several nontraditional members. Trump also accepted two peace prizes, including the Nobel Prize attributed to María Corina Machado.
