The president made the remarks alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He claimed earlier in the day that Gazans had "no alternative" but to leave their homes.
The Gaza strip is 141 square miles with a 2024 estimate of over two million people. I guarantee Trump doesn't know how big it is, or the logistics required to displace that many people.
Not that he would care, but his followers need to be aware that this isn't a small city or a united group of people. You can't just send out an email and "tell" them anything.
