The expression on the face of White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles as her boss, US President Donald Trump, unveiled his plan for Gaza Strip has broken the internet and sparked a memefest.
President Donald Trump’s plan for the United States to “take over” Gaza, permanently displacing Palestinians who live there and creating the “Riviera of the Middle East,” has upset Arab nations and Western allies and would overturn decades of American policy in the region.
At a news conference on Tuesday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington, Trump said he wanted to demolish the remaining structures in Gaza and transform the territory under U.S. “ownership.”

He proposed transforming the seaside enclave into a resort that would draw people from around the globe and resettling Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt and Jordan.
“You’ll make that into an international, unbelievable place. I think the potential and the Gaza Strip is unbelievable,” Trump said. “And I think the entire world, representatives from all over the world, will be there, and they’ll live there. Palestinians also, Palestinians will live there. Many people will live there.”

His press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, on Wednesday said Trump believes the United States needs to be involved in the rebuilding of Gaza “to ensure stability in the region.”
“That does not mean boots on the ground in Gaza,” she said.
Leavitt also said Trump wants to see Palestinians who live in Gaza “temporarily relocated” so it can be rebuilt.
The US President on Thursday again reiterated his call to bring Gaza under US control.
Trump said on Thursday Israel would hand over Gaza to the United States after fighting was over and the enclave’s population was already resettled elsewhere, which he said meant no US troops would be needed on the ground.
Amid these developments, his chief of staff has gone viral for her reaction.
Some took to social media to say that Susie Wiles’ reaction is similar to people across the world who were similarly surprised to listen to Trump’s plan.
