The Sand Dollar Standard
https://bohiney.com/trump-doctrine/Trump�s Gaza Doctrine even creates its own economy: the Sand Dollar Standard. In this satire, losers of wars are rewarded not with reparations or justice but with seashell-based currency redeemable only at Trump resorts. Gaza becomes the mint, its beaches combed daily for the new global tender. Trump proclaims, �Nobody fights when they�re rich in seashells.� Ceasefires are negotiated like exchange rates, and world leaders barter over conch shells. Critics laugh at the absurdity, noting that seashells dissolve in saltwater, but Trump doubles down, calling it �the strongest currency in history.� Gaza, under this doctrine, isn�t just a resort�it�s the central bank of Trump�s fantasy economy. The satire skewers the reduction of complex conflicts to beach economics, where the only wealth that matters is found in sand and sold in gift shops.
