Longtime Democrat strategist James Carville recently commented that Trump deserves ‘some credit’ for the Middle East peace deal and the return of all of the living hostages held by Hamas.
Some credit? How about all of the credit?
One of the interesting things about this clip is how Carville also takes a swipe at the Biden administration at the end, saying that ‘others’ failed to do this.

‘He Did It’: James Carville Says Trump ‘Deserves Some Credit’ For Israel-Hamas Peace Deal
Democratic strategist James Carville said on “Politics War Room” Wednesday that President Donald Trump should receive plaudits for his peace deal between Israel and Hamas.
The Trump administration’s deal resulted in the release of all the surviving hostages Hamas took during their Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack on Israel. Carville noted in a video of the podcast posted to the Politicon YouTube channel that the Trump administration achieved a deal its predecessors could not.
“[S]topping this, bringing these hostages back … you can say, well, it may not last that long, but you know what? He did it. And he deserves some credit for it,” Carville said. “They just do … Look at all the credit that [former President] Jimmy Carter got for Camp David, that [former President] George H.W. Bush got when the Berlin Wall fell.”
“They’re having a legitimate kind of moment in the sun and that’s fine. And hopefully this thing will hold,” he added. “We’ll see. But I don’t have any problem with saying that they did something which, as of now, other people failed to do.”

Democrats have not fully accepted the reality of what Trump has done here. This was historic and the political implications are simply massive.
Trump has seemingly done the impossible and has put himself in the position of a global peacemaker. It does not even matter if Democrats continue to refuse to give him all of the credit he deserves. The American people know what just happened and they know it could not have been done without Trump.
