Every MAGA-ite (MAGArian? MAGAer?) has his or her favorite among the breathtaking array of America First-asserting, immigration-corralling, inflation-lassoing and drill-baby-drill-spirits-unleashing exploits from Week I of The Donald’s Act II at 1600 Pennsylvania.

Mayhap it was deep-sixing all federal “diversity, equity and inclusion” nonsense and sending DEI practitioners home – while ordering basically everyone else he didn’t fire (and there was a deliciously satisfactory collection of pink slips) to get their rear ends back to the office.

Or not-so-gently suggesting that el presidente of a certain southern neighbor might want to reconsider any interference with deportation of really bad hombres – and suddenly seeing magnanimous agreement to personally provide them concierge “Con Air” service.

But none rises to the level of the totally Trumpian drop of a nuclear truth bomb about the proper solution for Gaza that portends to reset (no button gaffe required, Madame ex-Secretary) the entire course of events, interactions and balance of power in the Middle East.

To wit: “I’d like Egypt to take people, and I’d like Jordan to take people. You’re talking about probably a million and a half people; we just clean out [!] that whole thing.”

“It’s literally a demolition site right now …. So, I’d rather get involved with some of the Arab nations, and build housing in a different location, where they can maybe live in peace for a change.”

And in case anyone didn’t catch his drift, President Donald Trump on Monday repeated the trial balloon’s substance, appending love notes to the pocket-poohbahs now ruling the Land of the Pharaohs and erstwhile Ammon, Edom and Moab:

“I wish [Egyptian dictator Abdel Fattah El-Sisi] would take some. We helped them a lot, and I’m sure he’d help us. He’s a friend of mine. He’s in … a rough neighborhood. But I think he would do it, and I think the king of Jordan [Abdullah] would do it too.”

Translation: “Nice little dictatorships we’re propping up for you. Be a shame if the Muslim Brotherhood or ISIS offshoots now running Syria should somehow pop back up and take over.”

Don’t miss for a micromillisecond the ginormous reverberations of this multi-megaton precision-targeted missile from The Now-Orange Giant towering over world affairs.  

This commentator was prepping to scribble out his bitter disappointment over the president’s acceleration of his hapless successor’s “hostage deal.” It apparently allowed Hamas psychopaths to reconstitute themselves by re-opening supply routes and providing fresh brute squad reinforcements direct from Israeli prisons. And all without even the prospect in sight of releasing of a single kidnapped American citizen kidnapped.

(Hence your correspondent’s opportuning of the editors of this august online publication to maintain its banner tallying the days since the four remaining U.S. captives were taken.)

By putting the imprimatur of Israel’s sole ally and sponsor on the outrageously one-sided deal, President Trump was seemingly flipping the narrative of extraordinary Israeli progress in emasculating (in the case of exquisitely placed pager bombs, literally) the entire Iran-Hamas-Hezbollah-PA-Houthi axis of depravity.

But did the prestidigitator in chief have a card up his sleeve the whole time to turn not just the narrative but the entire world back on its head? Let’s run down the immediate effects of the president’s solo sortie:

The vaunted two-state solution, official U.S. policy for decades, is dead. Spell it out. D-E-A-D. Expired. Extinct. Extinguished.

Terrorists and the civilians who gleefully participated won’t be rewarded for despicable acts of butchery and sodomy with their own separate nation – and the opportunity to build even more deadly and impregnable bases for land, air and sea assaults to eliminate Israel. They won’t even be able to occupy one of the territories, at least not in sufficient strength to threaten the Jewish state.

Oh. You gave credence to Trump’s concession that relocation of the blood-lusting Gazan population could be “permanent” or “temporary?” Dream on. Once that existential threat is removed, they ain’t coming back. The Jewish state’s brain trust has absorbed that lesson.

Israel finally gets its blank check to finish the war. Accompanying the diplomatic initiative was an announcement that America would reverse Joe Biden’s ban on shipping 600-pound bombs that blast through Hamas fortifications. The unmistakable message: If Hamas doesn’t sue for peace, war will resume, this time with full American backing and gloves off.

Hamas is finished. And the Palestinian Authority on notice. Any Palestinian relocation – and it’s unlikely to be to Jordan with its own long memories of the Black September uprising – will include U.S. guarantees to exclude Hamas. And the PA had better figure out soon that if it doesn’t clean up its corruption, repression and terror sponsorship, it’s next.

The true “peace process” – Abraham Accords II – is back on track. The genius of Donald Trump’s Peace Prize-worthy forging of Israeli-Arab alliances was to render the Palestinians irrelevant and remove the two-state solution as a precondition for peace. This new proposal takes “two state” back off the table, certainly to the relief of nations who need Israel’s help to contain Iran and actually find the Palestinians an annoyance.

Iran is more isolated than ever. Which follows from all of the above, along with Israel’s demonstration last year that it can easily penetrate deep into the mullah’s defenses. 

Readers may believe that Trump’s statements are a YUGE, freelance bluff. But note what didn’t happen in response.

No spontaneous riots or demonstrations on the “Arab Street.” No resolutions of condemnation in the United Nations. No protests from Arab capitals other than the nations directly involved.

The same things that didn’t happen when 45, after decades of warnings of backlash, finally moved ahead with the longtime promise to relocate America’s embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

After watching his first week in action, all the players involved are taking his notion seriously.

Donald Trump has once again invested his political capital, now virtually unmatched since the Clinton days, to reshape the Middle East conversation. How his earthshaking policy pronouncement will be carried out is uncertain. But at least some variation on it certainly will be. And literally, thank God.
