The extreme positions Trump proposes — and Republicans embrace

As Trump has taken office and pursued a more expansive and often-militaristic foreign policy, he’s proposed a number of ideas that can safely be called outside-the-box — and that Republicans soon embraced.

When Trump briefly floated the US taking over Gaza last year, Quinnipiac showed 49% of Republicans endorsed the idea. And 41% supported it even when a Reuters-Ipsos poll noted it would involve “resettling Palestinians elsewhere” — also known as ethnic cleansing.
