President Trump laid it out for Hamas to consider saying in a Truth Social post Wednesday that they had better release all hostages immediately or the proverbial dung will hit the fan for them. Now that this is his second warning, it seems like he hasn't given himself a second choice but to do what he says he'll do.
The warning came after he met with seven former hostages in Washington, D.C. this week. The group was comprised by Eli Sharabi, Doron Steinbrecher, Keith Siegel, Aviva Siegel, Naama Levy, Omer Shem Tov and Iair Horn, according to the Hostages and Missing Families Forum.
"‘Shalom Hamas’ means Hello and Goodbye - You can choose," the president's post began. "Release all of the Hostages now, not later, and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you.
"Only sick and twisted people keep bodies, and you are sick and twisted!"
FYI, 'shalom' also means peace, but that word isn't in the Hamas dictionary.
President Trump added that he is "sending Israel everything it needs to finish the job," and that "not a single Hamas member will be safe if you don’t do as I say.
"I have just met with your former Hostages whose lives you have destroyed," Trump added. "This is your last warning! For the leadership, now is the time to leave Gaza, while you still have a chance."
"Also, to the People of Gaza: A beautiful Future awaits, but not if you hold Hostages. If you do, you are DEAD! Make a SMART decision. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW, OR THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY LATER!"
I wonder how the President really feels.

Trump's post came hours after the White House was challenged by Fox News senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy on its decision to negotiate with the Palestinian terrorist group, the outlet reported.
"If the U.S. has a long-standing policy that we do not negotiate with terrorists, then why is the U.S. now negotiating directly and for the first time ever with Hamas?" Doocy asked.
"Well, when it comes to the negotiations that you're referring to, first of all, the special envoy who's engaged in these negotiations does have the authority to talk to anyone," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded. She added that Israel was "consulted on this matter," and that Trump believes in putting forth "good-faith effort[s] to do what's right for the American people."
"These are ongoing talks and discussions. I'm not going to detail them here," she continued. "There are American lives at stake."
