Low-IQ Narcisist and Epic Failure Joe Biden Wants Credit for Trump's Success In the Middle East

Joe Biden is a corrupt demented fool who has always fancied himself a foreign policy genius. No matter how stupid his plans were, and how often they failed, he clinged to the old fart fantasy that he was a world-class Machiavel.

On Friday, Politico reported that Biden's staffers had "mixed feelings" about the Trump Team's winning of the hostages' freedom. They claim they were happy they were to be released.

But, more importantly, they were spiteful that Trump had accomplished what they failed to achieve.

And as usual, you can ignore everything before the "but."

As the world hopes for the remaining Israeli hostages to soon return home from Gaza, one group has bittersweet feelings about President DONALD TRUMP's progress toward ending the Israel-Hamas war.
Biden administration officials are thrilled that a ceasefire is taking hold and that the hostages will be freed. But they also have a bit of sour grapes -- arguing that they laid the groundwork for Trump's effort and that he could have executed on it much earlier.
Trump, some noted, took office in January with a ceasefire in place, but the truce collapsed and Trump spent months doing little as Gaza sunk into further despair.
As one Biden administration official put it, Trump "inherited a ceasefire that fell apart due to a lack of U.S. engagement, allowed Israel to implement a strategy of starvation, got dragged into the war with Iran and ultimately started to exert leverage only after the botched strike in Qatar last month." The bottom line? "It's good that he came around," the former official said. "But it's a tragedy that it took so long."
Some former aides to President JOE BIDEN are suggesting Trump's 20-point plan may be built off a blueprint they left behind, but the Trump team has made no such admission. Former Secretary of State ANTONY BLINKEN alluded to this in a recent podcast, saying of the much-ballyhooed Trump 20-point plan: "This is essentially the plan that we developed over many months and more or less left in a drawer for the incoming administration, and I'm very, very glad they picked it up."
...
Some former Biden officials, including senior aides to the president and vice president, have been soul-searching in recent months about whether they could have done more to stop the war. But NatSec Daily didn't get any sense that the Biden administration officials were embarrassed or jealous that it was Trump and not them who finally imposed this settlement.
"'Jealous' isn't the right word," a second former Biden administration official said, adding that there's a sense that "because Trump is depraved most of the time, when he does something he's supposed to do he gets more credit than he deserves."

Politico is really claiming that this shows no signs of embarrassment or jealousy.

Deep State Operative and author of the "51 Intelligence Officials" psyop Anthony Blinken claims that Trump merely extended the ceasefire that he and Biden already achieved.

On X, Biden -- who is undergoing treatment for cancer -- said that he was "deeply grateful and relieved" that the Gaza war is approaching its end.
"The road to this deal was not easy," the Democrat wrote. "My Administration worked relentlessly to bring hostages home, get relief to Palestinian civilians, and end the war."
But Biden also gave Trump credit for getting "a renewed ceasefire deal over the finish line."

LOL. Biden brought the ball 90 yards to the 1-yard line and Trump merely punched it over the goal-line, huh?

"Now, with the backing of the United States and the world, the Middle East is on a path to peace that I hope endures and a future for Israelis and Palestinians alike with equal measures of peace, dignity, and safety," he concluded.
On Monday, Blinken said Trump's 20-point peace plan for the Gaza Strip was based on one developed by the Biden administration.
In a lengthy post on X, Blinken, who served in the Biden administration, outlined how Trump was able to secure the peace agreement. He noted that Arab states and Turkey have said "enough" to Hamas, and said the response also showed that other Iran-backed groups -- Hezbollah and Yemen's Houthi rebels -- were not coming to Hamas' aid.
"It starts with a clear and comprehensive post-conflict plan for Gaza," Blinken wrote. "It's good that President Trump adopted and built on the plan the Biden administration developed after months of discussion with Arab partners, Israel and the Palestinian Authority."

Blinken said the Biden administration briefly secured a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in January, resulting in the release of 135 hostages before the deal fell apart.
He also questioned how Trump could secure a permanent peace plan.

Biden thinks he deserves credit because of his "plan" for peace. This plan for peace being, we should have a peace plan.

Wow, what a foreign policy genius.

But that's like a football coach saying that his plan for a victory is that he thinks his team should wind up with more points than the other team.

Via Ed Morrissey, the WSJ reports that Trump's plan was a touch more developed than that. Since his inauguration, Trump has begged and bullied and bought off all of Hamas' supporters, diplomatically isolating Hamas, and getting even its backers in Qatar to tell it to take this deal or else we're done with you and you're on your own.

Egypt and Qatar told Hayya the deal was his last chance to end the war, according to the officials. They pressed Hamas to understand that holding the hostages was becoming a strategic liability, giving Israel a source of legitimacy to keep fighting.
The next day, joined by Turkey, they warned him that if Hamas didn't approve the plan it would be stripped of all political and diplomatic cover; Qatar and Turkey would no longer host the group's political leadership, and Egypt would stop pressing for Hamas to have a say in Gaza's postwar governance, the officials said.
It was enough to get Hamas to agree to release all its hostages in Gaza and sign on to the first part of Trump's peace deal, giving up what had been its most important bargaining chip to keep a seat at the table. While modifying its acceptance with heavy caveats that reflected its concerns about the deal, Hamas had given Trump an opportunity to declare victory and set the stage for a hostage release early this week.

Trump's plan: Isolate Hamas and bully its patrons into forcing it to take the deal

Biden's "Plan:" Draw up a list of "Nice to Have" wants

Now that Trump has succeeded where Biden -- plot twist -- failed constantly, Biden thinks he's owed credit for Trump's success.

Joe Biden has praised Donald Trump for his success in negotiating a peace deal which allowed the 20 remaining Hamas survivors to return home.
But he also tried to take some credit for the monumental deal, claiming his administration had laid the groundwork for Trump to negotiate.
'The road to this deal was not easy. My Administration worked relentlessly to bring hostages home, get relief to Palestinian civilians, and end the war,' Biden said in a statement to X on Monday.
...

Supporters gathered in the streets to celebrate their hostages coming home
Trump has been hailed a hero in Israel as Israelis celebrate the release of the hostages

He later addressed a peace summit with global leaders where he called for a new era of harmony in the Middle East.
'We have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to put the old feuds and bitter hatreds behind us,' Trump said, and he urged leaders 'to declare that our future will not be ruled by the fights of generations past.'
The whirlwind trip, which included the summit in Egypt and a speech at the Knesset in Jerusalem earlier in the day, comes at a fragile moment of hope for ending two years of war between Israel and Hamas.
'Everybody said it's not possible to do. And it's going to happen. And it is happening before your very eyes,' Trump said alongside Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi.
Nearly three dozen countries, including some from Europe and the Middle East, were represented at the summit. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was invited but declined, with his office saying it was too close to a Jewish holiday.
Trump promised to help rebuild Gaza, and he urged Palestinians to 'turn forever from the path of terror and violence.'
'After tremendous pain and death and hardship,' he said, 'now is the time to concentrate on building their people up instead of trying to tear Israel down.'

Israelis have little doubts about whether it is Biden and Blinken or Trump, Rubio, and Witikof who deserve credit:

Israeli lawmakers chanted Trump's name and gave him standing ovation after standing ovation. Some people in the audience wore red hats that resembled his "Make America Great Again" caps, although these versions said "Trump, The Peace President."

And Trump blasted Biden and Obama for their failures and weakness:

But Trump also took the opportunity to lay blame on former Democratic presidents for their failure to stabilize the region.
'All of the countries in the Middle East that could have what we're doing now, it could have happened a long time ago, but it was strangled and set back almost irretrievably by the administrations of Barack Obama and then Joe Biden,' Trump said.
'There was a hatred towards Israel.'
'Nobody asked Joe Biden to come up and speak, I guarantee you that,' he added.

Even this graceless, charmless hag realized that it is self-defeating (and self-revealing) to attempt to deny credit to Team Trump:

Trump's former presidential competitor Hillary Clinton also praised the deal at the weekend.
'It's a really significant first step and I really commend Trump and his administration,' Clinton said on CBS News.

On the other hand, there's America's First Homosexual President, the graceless Kenyan Muslim Obama.

He refused to even mention Trump in noting the hostage deal. Even CNN's low-IQ shill Abby Philip thought this was petty, even by the low, base standards of the narcissistic homosexual Obama.

CNN admits that Israelis are wearing MAGA caps and offering "ENDLESS applause for President Trump."

Even this ABC "News" shill gets it:

Curtis Houck
@CurtisHouck
ABC's James Longman on this historic day in world history:
"I think today what I've been mostly struck by is Donald Trump's sheer force of personality. There are not many men, not many leaders who can walk into the Knesset in Israel to such rapturous applause, such a warm welcome to clearly know so many members of the Israeli leadership so personally. He's been in the weeds on this and then, less than an hour later, appear in a room of world leaders, Arab and Muslim leaders and have the same kind of warm welcome. It really is his force of nature which has managed to make this happen. I mean, I was struck that he was standing on that stage here in Sharm el-Sheikh, welcoming world leader after world leader, many of whom he's had his disagreements with, as we know. And it wasn't President Sisi of Egypt doing that. It was him. He is front and center here. It's his force of will. He has said what he wants to happen. He's laid out this 20-point plan. The objectives are very clear. And of course, the big question is how we get there."

But Biden deserves credit for Trump's force of personality, huh? (As well as the very, very high-level team he's put into place.)

Even the degenerate webzine Time gets it:

The President of Pakistan praised Trump effusively not for bringing peace to Israel but for brokering the peace between the nuclear-armed enemies of Pakistan and India.

Here's a compilation of some lefties, all of whom claim they wanted a ceasefire, experiencing butthurt over Trump securing a ceasefire.

From Rita Panahi, more butthurt mixed in with some crow-eating from TDS lefties.

This low-IQ porkchop is ratchet as ever:

Truly a goosebumps moment.
President Trump closes his historic Knesset address with a vision that left the entire chamber on its feet.
Before the applause thundered through the Knesset, he gave Israel--and the world--a glimpse of what lasting peace could look like.
"So now we're going to forge a future that is worthy of our heritage. We're going to build a legacy that all the people of this region can be proud of."
"New bonds of friendship, cooperation and commerce will join Tel Aviv to Dubai, Haifa to Beirut, Jerusalem to Damascus, and from Israel to Egypt, from Saudi Arabia to Qatar, from India to Pakistan, from Indonesia to Iraq, from Syria to Bahrain, Turkey to Jordan, the United Arab Emirates to Oman and Armenia to Azerbaijan."
"Another war that I just settled."
"We are going to have hope, harmony, opportunity and happiness here in the spiritual and geographic center of the entire world. That's what you are."
"Israel, America, and all of the nations of the Middle East will soon be safer, stronger, greater, and more prosperous than ever before."
"Thank you very much. God bless you. God bless the United States of America and God bless the Middle East."
The President of the United States, speaking peace into a region once defined by endless war.
Historic.

Meanwhile, the degenerate communists of the media and Democrat Party (but I repeat myself) insist that Trump is in the grips of a Biden-like physical and mental decline...

2 One of the last things Biden said as president was that no matter what happened under Trump, it was because of Biden's policies.

It didn't matter if Trump changed policies, ended old policies, or implemented new policies.

Biden was responsible for what was going to happen under Trump.

Almost like whoever was writing for him knew that Trump was going to do well.

34 I hope Trump’s plan for peace works. I have my doubts it will over the long term. My preference was to wholly eliminate Hamas on the battlefield. They have proven themselves a stain on humanity. Trump has even as of now put them in charge of Gaza security. They are using that time to murder anyone who might be a rival post war. They are right now executing people in the streets. They won’t be disarming and will be the force behind any new governing body.

38 What truly angers me is not this 3rd Grader type logic that Biden should receive his "due credit" for the end result. No, what absolutely enrages me is that the Biden Administration MADE OCT. 7TH POSSIBLE!!!

In Trump's first term he cut off the US taxpayer money flow to Gaza due to their abuse of it's purpose. Immediately (we're talking the first few weeks) upon Biden acquiring the Presidency, he re-installed those funds and increased them. This financed the Oct. 7th event, to say nothing of the $Billions gifted to Iran, and sanction removal by Obama and then Biden.

We should be talking about Biden in the same sentence as a Middle East Peace Deal. We should be talking about him (and Blinken) in discussions of the contributing causes of 10/7.

45 Even r/Destiny is giving Trump credit?!?!??

I know its literally the bare minimum, but Trump enacted the Biden plan that was in a drawer. It makes no difference who thought of it, it only matters whose gonna carry it out and enforce it.

Biden tried to get a ceasefire many times, the two sides wouldn’t agree. Trump also tried and failed for the past 9 months until eventually they were ready to agree to a deal.

It came out later that Biden’s admin was lying the whole time and never tried to get a ceasefire. So if anything it just makes Biden look weaker in retrospect.

All the adults in the room know Trump and his team are too inept to pull off this deal and know what really happened: a peace deal was drafted by Blinken and brokered by the Qataris. They're letting him claim the W to humor him, knowing that a flattered Trump is a more malleable Trump.

The hard part wasn’t writing the vague and open ended plan. The hard part was getting Netanyahu to believe he couldn’t just find a way to expel all the Palestinians from Gaza.

It may be the same deal (or ‘essentially’ the same, whatever that means), but the difference is Trump got it done.

Oh fuck off you decomposing heap of rancid ooze. Even in a post celebrating a deal in which Israel finally gets back hostages that "Palestinian" filth kidnapped two years ago, Biden cannot stop pimping for "Palestinian civilians" that cheered and supported every atrocity that Hamas committed.

"It starts with a clear and comprehensive post-conflict plan for Gaza," Blinken wrote. "It's good that President Trump adopted and built on the plan the Biden administration developed after months of discussion with Arab partners, Israel and the Palestinian Authority."

53 45 I know its literally the bare minimum, but Trump enacted the Biden plan that was in a drawer. It makes no difference who thought of it, it only matters whose gonna carry it out and enforce it.

Biden tried to get a ceasefire many times, the two sides wouldn’t agree. Trump also tried and failed for the past 9 months until eventually they were ready to agree to a deal.

Never in the cards unless you kill or remove all Gazans. We faced the same problem in the Cold War, endless proxy warfare costing thousands of American lives along the periphery because we could not get at the focus of the evil--the Soviet Union.

This is just what narcissists do: credit stealing. Parents do it, bosses do it. You achieve something as a kid, it's "well, you should be thanking your (mother/father) because (something they did/were/imagined doing or being)," not "hey congratulations, great job!" You achieve something at work, your boss just outright steals it and presents it as his/her own, or gaslights everyone around them into thinking it's because of their leadership acumen/close oversight/practically handing you your success.

The destruction of Iran's nuclear facilities led to this deal and was one of the most important political-military events of the past 30 years. For decades, we'd be hearing about the fearsome power of Iran and it's looming nuclear capability. Obama was so impressed he paid Iran tribute and protection money. Trump (with Israel's help and cooperation) obliterated Iran's nuke program like he was brushing lint off his shirt. The world took notice.

Poland Urges Germany to Halt Nord Stream Sabotage Probe

Last updated

Poland has demanded that Germany abandon its investigation into the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline explosions in the Baltic Sea, arguing that prosecutions would undermine NATO unity and advance Russian interests. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk refused to extradite detained Ukrainian suspect Volodymyr Z. to Germany, despite a warrant linking him to the blasts that severed Europe's direct gas supply from Russia. As the only active probe after Sweden and Denmark closed theirs without identifying perpetrators, the standoff is straining EU relations amid ongoing Ukraine war tensions.

Poland also wants $1.5 trillion in reparations from Germany.

Biden and Obama along with their hirelings cannot mention that because their implicit secret plan was for Iran to become the Middle East hegemon and that Israel would be forced to capitulate to the Iranians about the Jewish state because a mere two or three nuclear explosions delivered via missiles or other means would essentially destroy the Jewish state. Neither Biden nor Obama were bothered by the slaughter it would entail.

Teachers and professors by and large represent the past, not the future which is going to be chaotic and strange as futures always seem to those looking backward.

This twat can sign and while not a beauty, she's attractive. But she has no screen presence and can't act. In some big dramatic/romantic scenes, she looked like she was struggling to hold in a big fart.

The movie was a long boring slog that was so choppy and did such a lousy job of introducing and developing its 500 characters that it wasn't until the final scene did I realize that the dwarf was the headmaster and not the rich Plinth father.

Try Chimes at Midnight, Orson Welles putting his spin on Henry IV .

The actual historical plays other than Henry V are rather boring in the sense that Shakespeare had to placate royals by dancing carefully about the monarchs of his times. Falstaff is the singular character aside from Prince Hal aka Henry V that stand out.

No such problem dissing foreign royals with MacBeth, Hamlet, or Caesar.

We’ve been in far too many fights where civilian leadership hasn’t had the balls to do what was necessary. It’s war, and sometimes you have to eliminate the enemy and show the rest that fighting is a lost cause. This enemy doesn’t care about death. Same as AQ. They’re true believers and the fact some people don’t understand that at this point is mind numbing. In that regard CiNC has become very idealistic or naive IMVHO. They’re going to be the fly in his ointment and Hamas is already proving it.

I don't think that is correct. There are Israeli Arabs who work in all fields. about 1/3 of Israel's dentists are arabs, and close to 50% of pharmacists in Israel are arabs for example. No one from gaza is allowed in Israel since October 2023, and those who came before were mostly employed in agricultural fields. some laborers from the so called W. bank are still allowed in for work.

My simple-minded understanding:

Bypassing the 'Palestinians' and dealing directly with the Arab nations to settle this thing is Trump's new approach -- introduced in his first term, set aside during Biden's term, in-progress again now.

Key aspects include that none of the other Arabs actually like or trust the 'Palestinians,' and they're all worried about Iran.

Trump not pandering to the warped priorities of the domestic US left simplifies matters also. Recall Biden visiting Saudi Arabia and insulting them immediately, then begging for more oil production, for example.

Israel is 16 million or so versus 1 billion Muslims. So far, it has survived by not going too far just like the US avoided nuclear showdowns with Soviet Union for the most part. Killing 1.5 million Gazans would in fact destroy Israel internally and externally as a pariah state.

Trying to exile them might appear better but that requires an insane country take them-forcing them into Egypt or Jordan would start another Middle Eastern war, trying to send them elsewhere is a non starter. Simply put, not every problem is able to solved by a depopulating Old Testament style war and this is likely one of them.

OK, we're all gonna die and it's too late to fix it. So maybe they'll STFU about it now? No? I didn't think so.

307 If even a single thing the Biden camp is saying now was true, Biden would have been given the Nobel Peace Prize last week.

Does anyone think that the Nobel committee wouldn't have jumped at the chance to do so, if even a syllable of Blinken's comments were true?

You would be right. Was relying on someone else's number and should have looked it up myself. Figure cited in what I read may have been Jews worldwide perhaps.

Point remains, vastly outnumbered in a sea of Muslims.

317 Heh. Just checked travel distance to Corsicana. Going by way of I-40 and Amarillo, it"s 1112 miles. Going by way of I-10, and El Paso, it's 1116 miles.

But the southern route might be quicker; Interstate most of the way.

327 Wonderful post, Ace.

President Trump IS a force of nature and may God continue to bless him and our country who are finally on track again.

Instead of the bumbling Biden daze of open borders and fumbles. Or the purple haze of Obungo.

No, President Trump does not prance limp wristed down AF1 stairs. Of which I am grateful for...to have a serious leader in charge again.

There is no way that Biden wrote his little text. No way. He would be doing well to text #MeToo, vs playing with all the phone buttons like a toddler with his sticky fingers.

Barky is a narcissist. Who thought the sun rose for him. He needs to go somewhere quiet with Reggie and stay there. I still want to cut his facial mole off with a rusty razor.

At least the world, finally, sees a true leader. I sometimes glance at reddit hysterical headlines and they are attempting to put him in the same physical decline as Biden. Which shows how original their thinking is. President Trump runs circles around people half his age.

Please pray for his safety and health, and that of VP Vance, their family, friends and cabinet. Prayers that any plan against them will fail.

This year has been amazing.

329 Totally separate item!

Trump is having a press gaggle before his lunch with President Javier Millei.

ABCNews tried to ask a question. Trump responds, "I don't take question from ABC-Fake-News after what Stephanopouls did to VP Vance!"

I-84 through Idaho, hit one of the worst dust storms I've ever seen (outside of the Middle East).

On the other hand I-80 across the Utah Salt Flats was the smoothest, STRAIGHTEST drive I have ever had.
