My last comment here got determined to be "misinformation" and removed, so let me try to just state my opinion and avoid any factual claims -
I feel like Trump did say a stupid thing. I feel like the stupid thing Trump said here won't actually be implemented, but only because actually occupying Palestine with American troops would be extremely costly and Trump's allies in the area wouldn't actually gain anything from it they don't already have. I feel like the Trump administration does want to find some way to make the lives of Palestinians worse that they can show to their voters, but I feel like they will struggle to find any policies that make things much worse than Israel and the Biden administration has already made their lives.
I don't feel like that makes what Trump is saying or doing acceptable. However, I feel like many people don't recognize how bad it has already been for Palestinians because of the actions of the prior administration. Moreover, I feel like elected Dems need to condemn the prior administatrion's actions if we are going to build the sort of political coalition that can win elections and give us an administration that will be willing and able to hold Israel accountable for what I feel is an ongoing genocide.
Then you are woefully lacking in imagination and haven't been keeping up with the news.
