“Everybody I’ve spoken to loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land, developing and creating thousands of jobs with something that will be magnificent,” Trump told reporters after a three-hour meeting with Netanyahu. "
“Folks, we’re going to build something unbelievable bigger, better, and more luxurious than anything you’ve ever seen.
