Two and a half weeks into convicted felon Donald Trump's second term, he has already

saying that he wants to the United States to occupy Gaza.

He doubled down in a truth social tweet this morning that he can't wait to develop it with

all of these partners, these imaginary partners that he can't wait to develop it with all of these partners,

these imaginary partners that he has. You may remember the viral image of a senator doing

a face palm when he heard this news. Senator Chris Coontz is here. How are you?

Oh, I tell you, Angie, Jennifer, it's great to be on with you, but I've already had it

in just two weeks.

I can't believe how much craziness we've had to go through.

And you're right, I had just walked off the floor of the Senate.

I had been working and working with colleagues to say to them, you cannot allow this shutdown of all

U.S. foreign aid. It's crazy. It's going to make Americans less safe. It's going to help the Chinese.

It's going to hurt us globally. And I walk out and there's a group of five reporters and they say,

what's your response to Donald Trump saying, we're going to invade and occupy Gaza?

And I went, this is insane.

So it's a bit as crazy today as it was then.

And he's kind of walking it back a little bit.

But I got to tell you, my view of what this is is it's a distraction.

He's like, don't look here, don't look here, don't look here.

He's got his doge boy, Elon Musk and his team burrowing into your personal data at the

Treasury Department, going in and trying to take down agencies that protect our safety and

promote our health and are critical to education and a whole lot of other things.
