Rennae Stubbs, the former coach of tennis legend Serena Williams, has never been one to hold back her opinions. This time, the outspoken sports analyst has taken aim at former U.S. President Donald Trump over his controversial proposal regarding the Gaza Strip.
As the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine continues, Trump reportedly suggested that the U.S. would “own” and “take over” Gaza, a statement that has sparked outrage globally. His remarks, made during a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, outlined a vision where the U.S. would be responsible for clearing debris and unexploded weapons before transforming the war-torn region into an economic hub.
“The US will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too… We’ll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site,” Trump stated, as reported by CNN.
Stubbs Reacts: “Just Because You Do It, Doesn’t Make It Right”
Rennae Stubbs took to social media to voice her disapproval of Trump’s proposal. Responding to a post that praised Trump’s swift action, she slammed the idea, making her stance crystal clear.
“Dude! Just because someone does stuff he said he would doesn’t make it good! Ffs. He just pretty much said, ‘Hey Palestinian people, find somewhere else to live, me and Benny are about to build some condos and hotels here!'”
Her post quickly gained traction, with thousands weighing in on the controversial proposal. Critics of Trump’s plan argue that such a move would further exacerbate tensions in the region and ignore the fundamental rights of Palestinians.
Trump’s Insensitive Joke About Washington DC Plane Crash Sparks More Criticism
While Trump’s Gaza remarks were already under fire, his response to a tragic plane crash in Washington DC added fuel to the controversy.
The devastating collision between an army helicopter and a passenger plane claimed the lives of all 67 people on board. Addressing the press, Trump made a comment that many found to be in poor taste:
“I have a plan to visit, not the site. Because you tell me what’s the site? The water? You want me to go swimming? I don’t have a plan to do that, but I will be meeting the people badly hurt and their families.”
Stubbs, never one to mince words, reacted swiftly on social media.
“With the badly hurt??? They’re all dead! Ugh, this guy has the empathy meter of a turd,” she wrote, expressing her frustration at Trump’s apparent lack of sensitivity.
Outrage Over Trump’s Lack of Empathy
Stubbs’ remarks echoed the sentiments of many who felt that Trump’s reaction to the tragedy was callous and detached from reality. The crash, which saw all victims positively identified after wreckage was recovered from the Potomac River, was a moment of national mourning.
Rather than offering words of comfort, Trump’s attempt at humor left many, including Stubbs, outraged. Social media erupted with criticism, with users highlighting his history of controversial statements in moments of crisis.
A History of Outspoken Commentary
Rennae Stubbs has built a reputation for being vocal not just in the sports world but also in political and social issues. Her latest remarks are just another instance of her standing up for what she believes in—whether it’s calling out insensitivity or challenging power.
Trump’s comments, both on Gaza and the DC plane crash, have once again drawn a strong reaction from critics, with many questioning the implications of his rhetoric on global politics and human decency.
