Former President Donald Trump says he would have responded the same way as Israel did after the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas but urged the country to “finish up” its offensive and “get this over with,” warning about international support fading.
What he means is, “I don’t want to have to deal with this once I’m President again,” and what he does not mean, in any way, is “I give a shit about the situation in Gaza.”
Technically not if we’re getting into semantics. The English language is always interesting to investigate, and trump is very good at dog whistling using this language.
“finish up” implies to take action quickly to finish the initial goals, such as to attack even stronger and faster to take territory in a short amount of time.
Example: “Finish up your dinner and you can have dessert.”
“stop” implies to end immediately with no further action, such as a withdrawal or immediate cease fire.
Example: “Stop the car, I want to get out!”
Not a single time has trump said “stop” the violence in Gaza, not once.

I read “finish up” as in “kill them all” not “stop”.
Technically that would be “stopping.”

Sounds like he wants Israel to finally solve the Gaza “problem.”
A “final solution” if you will.
As proven by his promises to ban gazans from USA
