    There are many hard-core conservatives that battled to get Trump in office who feel deeply betrayed by the deal. Here’s a few of the softer commentary:





    Rummage through Twitter and you find far more descriptive “discussions” decrying what is perceived to be betrayal.

    Ha. Try 7 minutes.

    At 11:01am it was still Trumps deal, and Mr. Do nothing had nothing to do with it.

    At 11:08 he had made himself an expert on the mechanics of deal, all 100 pages I’m sure, then it fully belonged to Joey.

    I figured this would happen as soon as I saw the far right Israeli Ben Gjafit blasted the deal, and had personally taken credit for blowing up prior iterations of cease fires. To Trumps credit (and Bill’s apparent confusion) Trumps transition team was involved in and blessed this deal, hence Trumps tweets in the positive if not trying to take full credit for it. I thought perhaps Trump made some promise to Netenyahu to push it across, so not totally impossible Trump could have meddled to get it approved. Will be interesting to see if Trump flip flops based on far right input, seems like it would be catastrophic/credibility shredding for the Israeli‘s to walk it back.

    It’s just a coincidence that these things are happening right before he takes office. FDA following suit. Uncle Joe just waited till his last week to wake up.

    None. If it was due to Trump they would have announced it on the day he takes office as an insult to Biden and to give Trump a +1 on his campaign promises, one of the few he's likely to keep. This would be similar to the timing of Iran releasing the US hostages after Ronnie took office.

    You’re Probly right, I just wish Biden tried this hard before his last week. He could’ve done some amazing things

    IF the cease fire is successful Trump will take credit. If it fails, he can blame it on Biden. If the fighting stops, that is a win for everyone.

    Isn’t that the same scenario that weekend at Bernie’s will play? Biden had zero to do with this.

    except if it fails, then it will be pinned on him.

    So Biden’s handlers aren’t playing the same game? Lol
    Difference is Biden had nothing to do with this a week from leaving.

    FWIW I Just watched ABC world news tonight about the negotiations.
    They’re giving Trumps threats some credit with the agreement.

    I guess we will see if it’s holds.

    "All hell was going to break loose" ?

    What was Trump going to do? Bomb the rubble where the 2 million displaced Gazans used to live? Kill even more than the estimated 50,000 civilians killed?

    WTH did Trump actually even say that wasn't just flat out laughable? He was going to put Gaza on double-secret probation?
