I don't like President Trump ...

I've said this before, but I'll say it again.
You may not like or agree with what Trump says or does or the way he says and does things, but he is trying to bring peace into the world and he is trying to make things better in the US as well as worldwide.
Democrats just seem to be spending most of their time and money causing more division and spreading Trump hatred instead of seeing the positivity of what Trump is doing or has done.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. There is no "peace" in the Middle East. Hammas, Hezbollah, Iran, in particular, have not renounced their openly stated aim of eliminating Israel. Israel has not committed itself to the creation of a Palestinian state, nor to withdrawal from the illegally occupied West Bank.

So, we have a cease fire. Another cease fire. It is welcome, of course, but is phase 1 - hostages and prisoners have been exchanged, international aid is starting to get through.

Let's not lose sight of the fact that we have been here before. Nobody cared about phase 2 back then. Why will they now?

If there is still peace in the ME at the end of President Trump's term in office, I will gladly mount a campaign to have him awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

You don't get it for brokering a (temporary) ceasfire that suits both sides.

But what do I know?

I can understand your sentiments. I don’t desire to meet Trump and some things he has said/done gives me the creeps. But this will be a good thing if it goes longer than the posturing on the news this morning.

When you stop and think about it, a person doesn’t need to be liked to actually do a good job and get the job done. Also, when you look at past presidents objectively, each has some things they did well and some things that they didn’t. Fingers crossed this one sticks and will be one of his good ones.

I must agree with you.

That guy gives me the ick and I switch channels whenever I see his face on TV. It is just like when you are scratching the blackboard with fingernails. My entire body revolts.

However, for the sake of peace in the Gaza strip, I do give HIS TEAM credit for what is happening. He has certainly not done anything himself but given the order, as per his habit and is taking the credit for whatever positive happens and will find faults elsewhere if it fails.

I take your point; Israel's war on Gaza had a terrible human cost.

However, putting it in proportion, if tRump's goal were to save lives around the world, he missed the big opportunity, which was keeping USAID operating.

https://www.npr.org/sections/goats-and-soda/2025/07/01/nx-s1-5452513/trump-usaid-foreign-aid-deaths

Keeping USAID running is an easily achievable objective for the president, and doing so would save FAR MORE lives than ending wars in Ukraine and Gaza. And, best of all, they're not mutually exclusive! tRump could start USAID's health initiatives back up with an order and a signature, and then turn right back to the other wars.

Thus, tRump's FAILURE to save far more lives via USAID puts into question his commitment to Christianity in general.

There have been at least 3 previous presidents who each brought a kind of peace to the area. I had never lasted. If he gets the Arab world to help Gaza, if Egypt opens its trading borders, if Jordan does similarly. If the rest of the Arab Union uses its vast fortune to turn Gaza into an economic power, then maybe there will be peace. We all know how the Arab world refused to help Gaza.

I have a deep respect for you and your opinions but this peace was developed by trump and Netanyahu. Can you seriously think that there will not be new terrorists groups formed to oppose how the Palestinian people were slaughtered and their homes razed? Then the proposal that ocean front property would now be developed.

Forcing Hamas to release the hostages, is not the same as creating peace in Gaza and the Middle East.

It does, however, allow Trump to do a lot of PR.

Releasing the hostages is a positive thing, and I applaud it.

I share your sentiments, Sara

So far so good and if peace lasts and he can sort out russia he will go down in history as a great president....i like him and agree with most things he says....

How long will this last, though? Aside from the words used, to me this keeps looking more like a ceasefire, than a lasting peace. Hopefully I'm just too pessimist.

Though gotta give credit to his change of mind about the other conflict with Russia: sending tomahawks as leverage, instead of practically forcing Ukraine to surrender, is a step closer to actual peace.

I agree. I don't like him at all, but wouldn't begrudge him his Nobel Peace prize if it's still peaceful next year.

Peace is fragile.
We're lucky it lasted this long & who knows how long it'll last
Why does it matter if you like him or don't? Who says he'd like you ?
Biden tried & failed
Trump suceded

I do like Trump. I saw the fire in him that makes things happen. Yes, lets hope this peace works.

Took him long enough. Trump is just as much swamp as he claims everyone else is. He is not about peace, just US and self interest. This is not to say I'm not glad the fighting has stopped, I am, but it's not because Trump suddenly grew a heart.

Trump's politics are closely aligned with groups like Al Qaeda which is extreme right wing. I fail to see how peace can be resolved in the middle east so long as we have Al Qaeda Texan lite in the United States. Also a large number of the Palestinian population is dead or displaced.

The hostages have been released, which is the most important thing and a significant achievement in itself. But less than a quarter of Israelis now support a two state solution (down from over 60% two years ago), and 87% of Palestinians deny that Hamas was responsible for the October attacks. The photogenic part is over, now the hard work begins. Let us hope that Trump does not become bored or distracted.

There is a Ceasefire that is holding atm.
I hope and pray this leads to peace.

While it would be great if the genocide ends, keep in mind Israel would still be an apartheid state where Palestinians suffer every day. Though I actually think there's a better chance of that ending under Trump than under Biden. Biden is an ideological Zionist, whereas Trump just wants people to cheer for him.

I don’t like him either, but I can give credit where it’s due.

who doesn't have faults? we can look back at our other leaders and list them. Ittakes Trump balls to get things done. he is respected because he says what he means and means what he says. now if he can get Ukraine and Russia to stop killing each other and then focus on Congress, we have a winner. remember, he is only 10 months into his second term

He's doing a tremendous job.

How successful would he have been if...

- Gaza hadn't already been bombed into total destruction? There literally was nothing left to bomb.
- Israel hadn't been given the green light to starve Hamas (and the Palestinians) out for the last 2 years?
- Israeli voters weren't becoming more boisterous in their growing dissatisfaction with Netanyahu convincing him to cave to pressure?
- Most of the rest of the world was already turning on Netanyahu's inhumane approach (instead of taking a surgical approach)?
- He didn't think he had the chance to win a Nobel Peace Prize that he covets?

It isn't that Pedophile enthusiast & snowflake doesn't deserve any credit, but certainly nowhere as close as he insists he is entitled to.

I'm shocked! You don't like Trump🤣

The basic premise of the Nobel Peace Prize is about 'disarmament', not about kissing and hugging and making nice which some refer to as 'making peace'.

The most peaceful place on earth is a desert, which is what is made from the total destruction of a civilization caused by a war, resulting in that lovely, peaceful, tranquil desert effect. Downtown Gaza comes to mind.

What we have on the table as of this date from the Trump Administration, which he refers to as a "peace agreement", is nothing more than a 'Letter of Understanding' between Israel, Palestine and the USA, but does not include Hamas... they were not included in the Letter of Understanding because Hamas don't play sandbox nice. As a result, Hamas got excluded from the backroom sub party.

Included with that Letter of Understanding is a 20-point memo which Kushner created which highlights all the good stuff that America wants to come of this kiss and hug love-fest between Israel and Palestine.

However, nowhere in that 20-point memo is it reflected 'how' and 'when' ANY of this LoU will be implemented, nor is there any kind of a mechanism in place to implement that Letter of Understanding, nor are there ANY timelines for initiating the LoU, nor is there anything written which suggests permanence to the basis of that LoU, which again is NOT a Peace Agreement!

With Hamas completely out of the picture yet still ready to fight, the US is expecting everything to go as smooth as silk and wants everyone to go home and live happily ever after, which then eliminates any argument of Trump being eligible for the Nobel Peace Prize, which is really what this whole thing is only about!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, we have the USA under siege by the US military who were deployed against the US civilian population as only an Authoritarian Dictator could do... AND we have the entire world pulling away from the USA as their primary trading partner because of Trump's tariffs... AND we have Trump now grandstanding like a schoolboy in the Middle East for no other purpose than to get a prize, though back in the States, all eyes are still keenly focused on the failing US economy and Trump's involvement with Jeffery Epstein, over and above the National guard and the US military breaking into homes and carting people away by the hundreds!

The ONLY good thing that will come out of Trump's meddling in Middle Eastern affairs will be the release of all hostages, 1900 of which were Palestinians being held captive by the Israelis for a number of year who became part of the hostage release program.

What has already come out of Trump's meddling with Israel is Trump's request on record, that Netanyahu be PARDONED for his war crimes when Bibi goes before the War Crimes Tribunal.. IF his war were to suddenly end! As long as Bibi doesn't end his war, he doesn't have to show up in Court!

Only 2 hours after the hostages were released, Netanyahu publicly stated that the WAR IS NOT OVER, which totally contradicted Trump's public announcement an hour earlier that HE had JUST ended the Israel/Palestine war, which of course was a false claim of an American victory on Trump's part!

Don't forget one last point... Donald J. Trump has never done anything in his entire career as a businessman UNLESS there was something signifiant in it for Trump, which means Trump is not involved in Gaza for the good of establishing peace in the Middle East, make NO mistake about it.

What's in it for Trump Corp is the oceanfront property of Gaza.

What's in it for Netanyahu is a new place to call home for himself when he goes into exile rather than face the War Crimes Tribunal.. IF the war were to suddenly end.

That new home for Bibi and his family will be some faraway place with a strange-sounding name called, the USA.

Let's hope...

I don't like him at all, but if he stops the kids from being murdered by his pal Netanyahu, at least for a short while

:) do you think, maybe, that Trump's bragadocious style is simply to draw the Democrat mafia into the open? To expose the disinformation industry (AKA the mainstream media) and show their deep partisan colors?

Who do you think the American people trust more to represent their best interest? Bragadocious Trump or bragadocious Kimmel?

Nobody with common sense likes Trump.

Fortunately your opinion has zero affect on the state of the country

Let me be clear. America is not a friend to Palestine. It is a second enemy reluctantly invited in.

Peace in Gaza would only be fake Peace. The war between Christian and Islam religions had been going for thousands of years and neither Trump or Netanyahu will stop it.

When you can't profit from war no more you won't have nothing! You aren't interested in doing boring living. Lolz! But, war profits ended. You're over!
Boring life is all!!! Hate away!

Everything trump touches dies, including this peace.
