Trump's Billion-Dollar Peace Club: Who's Really Paying?

A Shift in Focus

Trump's Board of Peace, initially mentioned in September during a Gaza ceasefire, has taken an unexpected turn. Originally intended to focus on Gaza's peace and reconstruction, the board's scope has expanded dramatically. Now, its goal is to promote stability and peace anywhere in the world.

Membership and Power Dynamics

• Membership Terms:
• 3-year commitment or a $1 billion lifetime spot.
• Trump's Authority:
• As chairman, Trump holds significant power.
• Can veto decisions, remove members, and choose his successor.

Global Response

Declined Invitations

• France, Germany, UK: Deemed the board not serious.

Accepted Invitations

• Albania, Egypt, Saudi Arabia: Agreed to join, but not major players in global peace efforts.

Unresponsive

• China, India, Russia: No response, likely due to the board's lack of real influence.

Executive Team

A mix of Trump allies and surprising names:

• Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, Marc Rowan
• Secretary of State Marco Rubio
• Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair
• Ajay Banga, President of the World Bank

Lack of Authority and Impact

• No real authority without the backing of the White House.
• No progress in Gaza, despite U.N. Security Council support.
• Future Uncertainty: Likely to disappear post-Trump presidency.

Conclusion

The idea that this board can solve global conflicts is laughable. Without Trump's backing, it holds no real power or influence.
