20 October 2025 09:18 BSTUS President Donald Trump is boasting of having brought peace to the Middle East, a claim that is wildly exaggerated. But he has, at least for the moment, brought an end to Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
Trump’s willingness to use the tools of his office to pressure Israel into accepting his terms for a ceasefire - terms quite favourable to Israel but falling short of the ambitions of its far-right government - reflects poorly on his predecessor, Joe Biden, and his 2024 presidential challenger, Kamala Harris.
It also vindicates the anti-Trump critics within the Democratic Party who implored their leaders to take a forceful stand against Israel’s genocide, warning they could lose the election if they refused.
Biden and trump demonstated both parties moral bankrupcy
What ceasefire?
Biden demonstrated the Democrats’ moral and political failure long before Trump snaked back onto the Whitehouse
You sound like a Trump supporter. Did you even read the article?
Ah I see you’ve chosen one of the three liberal thought-terminators: But Trump, But Russia, But China
I’m saying we shouldn’t be supportive of Trump because he condemns Liberals. I’m saying we should condemn Liberals without that qualifier. Please don’t let the machine get to you. We need you.
we shouldn’t be supportive of Trump
I’ll let you know next time I see one of these communists doing that
Please don’t let the machine get to you.

No need. Did that already. I saw the guy above you crediting Trump with success, an inherently respectful act, which is why I wrote the comment. Feel free to review if you missed it.
What does this mean
No one is immune to propaganda.
Oh I see, you’ve got that tribal brain thing going where you think that accurately assessing the achievements of your enemy is “inherently respectful”. Materialists aren’t about that, which is why they keep winning wars.
accurately assessing the achievements of your enemy is inherently respectful
great talking to you

This post is just the title of the article and the first 3 paragraphs. How could OP sound like a Trump supporter when you haven’t even read a single word of OP’s own opinion in this thread? Obviously Trump is terrible, the article goes on to cover that.
by OP do you mean Peter Link? He hasn’t posted any opinion in this thread, just quotes from the article author
Liberals on Reddit were explaining why Biden needed to continue the genocide to win. You could oppose both while still recognizing that Trump is worse than Biden albeit barely.
