Dan Turrentine is a regular contributor on Mark Halperin’s ‘2 Way’ program. During the broadcast today, he made it clear that he is very impressed with what Trump has been able to do with the Middle East peace deal.
Turrentine emphasized that it’s an even bigger deal when you step back and look at the big picture of Trump overcoming everything that was thrown at him, then winning the 2024 election and now this.
It’s refreshing to hear someone who identifies as a Democrat providing such an honest assessment of the situation. Trump has once again made world history.
The Daily Caller has details:
Former Democratic strategist Dan Turrentine praised President Donald Trump on the Monday edition “The Morning Meeting” for brokering a peace deal between Israel and Hamas.
Trump traveled to the Middle East on Monday to celebrate and oversee the first phase of the deal, which included the release of all the hostages taken by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023. Turrentine said on the 2WAY show that he was amazed by Trump’s evolution since entering politics roughly a decade ago, asserting the deal merited recognition and celebration.
“I was struck just thinking about the arc of Donald Trump’s 10 years — and just all the ups and downs and where he was just a few years ago, the unconventional nature of kind of how he operates, the personnel around him,” Turrentine said. “We hold him to account rightfully when they err — but this is an instance where it spectacularly worked. And it’s historic and he deserves all the credit and basking in everything today. You tip your hat to him.”

The various Democrats who are refusing to give Trump credit for this will be forgotten by history while Trump is actually making history.
The man could have spent his retirement living in luxury and enjoying all life has to offer. Instead, he dedicated himself to making America and even the world a better place.
Any Democrat who can’t admire that is just petty and sad.
