Because it absolutely is. Board of Peace is just a fleecing scam for Trump to inevitably hold onto some form of power as its chairman when he is ousted from office. Its also a form of self enrichment as he controls its accounts.

Absolutely. A vehicle to embezzle money from the US public, taking bribes from foreign states, influence over who gets reconstruction contracts after wars, and an illusion of power so he can keep playing King.

Of the State Department money, officials pulled $1 billion from international disaster assistance; $200 million from peacekeeping operations; and $50 million from international organizations and programs, the person familiar with the funding said.
"Rebuild Gaza". Sure, Jan.

It gets better: They are only rebuilding in the Israeli-occupied territory, then making "good" Gazans bark like dogs to get a "model" unit in the IDF-occupied areas.

Board of Peace is a made up Trump grift organization. It has no government affiliation, approval, purpose, regulation, etc.
It is entirely Trump's concept of a plan. It appears the US taxpayer is providing over 1$ BILLION to him for... Reasons.... Approved by.... "Gov't".
Totally off the charts insane. Really unprecedented in any democratic country.
