The comedy site wrote that the billionaire's "Trump Solution" rolled out at a Manhattan press conference would "give the US territory of Puerto Rico to the Palestinians as compensation for surrendering to Israel." In an August 7 Friday sermon in Jerusalem, Sheik Issam Amira slammed the "plan", MEMRI, the Middle East Media Research Institute reported.
