That’s where this lovely, chaotic, wildly interconnected graphic comes in. This isn’t a strict “start here, then go there” reading order. This is more like a sci-fi choose-your-own-adventure map—minus the page numbers and childhood trauma.

Trump waddles into the United Nations and drops his big shiny “21-point plan to end the Israel-Hamas war.” Twenty-one points! Sounds impressive, right? Like he’s got binders full of peace. Spoiler: it’s horseshit. It’s not a plan, it’s a PowerPoint with bullet...
