WASHINGTON – One day after his trip to the Middle East to celebrate a ceasefire agreement, President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House on Tuesday that Hamas would disarm in “a reasonable period of time” or the U.S. will disarm them “perhaps violently.”

“If they don’t disarm, we will disarm them and it will happen quickly and perhaps violently,” Trump said. “But they will disarm.”

Trump was asked how he would disarm Hamas, if it came to that. “I don’t have to explain that to you,” Trump replied. “They know I’m not playing games.”

      He cherishes peace with all his heart and doesn’t care how many men, women, and children he needs to kill to get it.

    I love how this is always his move. Threaten to do the thing he’s currently doing like he’s not literally doing it already. Don’t elect democrats or I’ll invade your city with violent Confederate goons, don’t shutdown the government or I’ll layoff federal workers, don’t resist the genocide or I’ll genocide you…
