I wonder when he will visit the real Palestine and stand with those people about driving Israel out. That’s the Trump I want. Free Palestine!!!

If you want any Trump then you should feel sad about him going to that toxic wasteland:

"Dioxin’s Toxicity is Incomprehensible Peter Montague, author of Rachel’s Hazardous Waste News, summarizes the toxicity of dioxin in the historical articles below:

How can we express this in terms that people can grasp? Let's compare it to one single aspirin tablet. One aspirin tablet weighs 5 grains (or 325 milligrams, or 325 trillion femtograms), so to express one "safe" lifetime dose of 2,3,7,8-TCDD, you would take a single aspirin tablet and divide it into 32 million (actually 32,172,218) miniscule pieces. Then one of those tiny pieces would represent one "safe" lifetime dose of 2,3,7,8-TCDD."

That's the shit created when you burn the chemicals in those train cars.

"Dioxins and their first cousins furans are compounds created when chlorinated chemicals burn, explode or degrade. They are never made as a product; they are a contaminant and degradation product. They are directly related to PCBs, which are considered dioxin-like compounds."

If Trump wants to help those people he'd do better to say he wants to visit, but the science says it's not safe to do so. Going there for a photo-op just shows he is fucking clueless about the scale of the problem.

I’m sure he gave no thought to the dangers or the scale of the issue aside from above mentioned photo op. But hey, when the sitting party does nothing two weeks out and he wants back in..., I’d do it too.
