This one thing is true about politics. You have the talkers, and you have the doers. One group builds careers on empty promises, endless summits, and carefully worded press releases. The other builds a legacy on actual results, often achieving what the talking class dismissed as pure fantasy.
For decades, the so-called experts told us that peace in the Middle East was one of those fantasies. It was a permanent problem that required their permanent attention (and, of course, their permanent funding). The region was a powder keg, they lectured, and the best Americans could hope for was that our leaders might manage the inevitable explosions. It’s a convenient narrative for an establishment that thrives on unsolvable problems, not real solutions.
Then, a genuine leader delivered the impossible. On Monday, President Donald Trump stood before the world in Egypt and announced a historic peace agreement to end the war in Gaza. It was a monumental achievement, a masterclass in decisive American leadership. But before the nation could even absorb the good news, the architects of past failures emerged, desperate to claim a piece of a victory they had no part in creating. In a truly stunning move, former President Joe Biden and his Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, shamelessly tried to attach their names to Trump’s triumph.
From ‘Fox News’:
Former President Joe Biden and former Secretary of State Antony Blinken both claimed some credit for President Donald Trump’s Israel-Hamas ceasefire agreement on Monday.
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.”
A desperate attempt to rewrite history
Let’s call this what it is: pathetic. It’s a desperate, transparent attempt by a failed administration to ride the coattails of a real success. The notion that the team which oversaw rising global instability somehow laid the “groundwork” for peace is an insult to the intelligence of the American people. Thankfully, President Trump cuts through the swamp-speak. When asked about Blinken’s fiction, he gave the only answer that mattered: “Everybody knows it’s a joke.”
He’s right. Americans remember. We remember the weakness that emboldened our enemies and the foreign policy disasters that left our allies scratching their heads. For these same former officials to now crawl out and demand a participation trophy for a win this big is beyond cynical. It’s a calculated effort to muddy the waters and shield their own legacy from the harsh light of Trump’s success.
A stark reminder of past failures
This sad scramble for relevance isn’t just about sour grapes. It’s a powerful reminder of the establishment’s utterly bankrupt approach to foreign policy. Their “groundwork” was a foundation of sand. As President Trump pointed out, the world is still paying the price for their leadership. “If just a decent president… were in, you wouldn’t have had the [Russia-Ukraine] (war),” he correctly observed. “This was bad policy by Biden and Obama.”
Peace is never secured through weakness or appeasement. It is won through strength, clarity, and the unapologetic projection of American resolve. The previous administration’s record is one of chaos and conflict. President Trump’s is one of strength and historic peace deals. No amount of spin from a bitter ex-politician on social media can change that cold, hard fact.
Two visions of American leadership
This moment perfectly captures the clash between two opposing visions for our country. On one side is the vision of the D.C. establishment—a timid, apologetic foreign policy that seems intent on managing America’s decline. On the other is the America First vision, which understands a simple truth: a strong and respected America is the greatest force for peace and stability the world has ever known.
Standing in Egypt, President Trump celebrated the victory not as a politician, but as a leader who kept his word. “We’ve heard it for many years, but nobody thought it could ever get there. And now we’re there,” he declared. “Together, we have achieved the impossible.”
At the end of the day, a ghostwritten post on X can’t erase a legacy of failure. While former politicians scramble to salvage their reputations, President Trump is busy making history.
Key Takeaways
- President Trump achieved a historic peace deal previously thought impossible.
- Former officials from the Biden administration are trying to claim credit.
- True peace is achieved through American strength, not endless bureaucracy.
- The establishment resents an outsider who exposes their failures.
