      He reduces harm by not doing whatever trump would be doing if he were elected last election.

      He could be doing more to try and reduce harm or at least least to promote harm, but trump would have made it so much worse.

      Just remember, trump could have been elected in 2020 and been in office the last few years instead while this was all going on. Does anyone think Palestine would be in a better position if that were the case?

              None, it’s an abstract to highlight what was (during the trump presidency) and what is (the trump judicial appointment consequences).

              To be closer to Gaza, we can look at the koshoggi assassination inaction, the soleimani assassination, and the infamous “Muslim ban” to gain contextual basis for trump’s expected stance on anything Gaza related.

              There’s lots of rambling talk by trump on the middle east, but as example related to my list, this article describes his opinion of gazans pretty well. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/oct/17/trump-muslim-ban-gaza-refugees

      26 billion in harm reduction.
