While former President Barack Obama had praise for the historic peace deal in the Middle East, he simply couldn’t bring himself to give credit where it is due: the strong leadership of President Donald Trump.
On October 9th, Obama shared on X, “After two years of unimaginable loss and suffering for Israeli families and the people of Gaza, we should all be encouraged and relieved that an end to the conflict is within sight; that those hostages still being held will be reunited with their families; and that vital aid can start reaching those inside Gaza whose lives have been shattered.”
“More than that, though, it now falls on Israelis and Palestinians, with the support of the U.S. and the entire world community, to begin the hard task of rebuilding Gaza – and to commit to a process that, by recognizing the common humanity and basic rights of both peoples, can achieve a lasting peace.”

His inability to give credit where it is due is just one example of his hyper-partisan posturing.
Sorry your dreams of WW3 were stopped by the greatest President of our lifetimes
Donald J. Trump

CNN’s Scott Jennings called Obama out, noting, “Yeah, he’s been the most hyper-political and hyper-partisan post-president we’ve ever had. He’s still acting that way.”
“They’re not over the fact that Donald Trump won the national popular vote last year, and they keep warning about the same things that they were warning and fussing about during the campaign to which the American people then responded to.”
“I think Donald Trump is executing every part of his agenda in almost exactly the way that he promised he was going to, up to and including enforcing laws in the United States that have been on the books for a very, very long time that his predecessor chose simply not to execute.”
“You throw that on top of the fact that he’s having this extraordinary success on the world stage, and I just think Democrats from Obama on down are having a heck of a time understanding where they went wrong and how Donald Trump has captivated a nation and now the entire world.”
“I think you’re exactly right. Obama’s presidency delivered Trump, and then Biden’s presidency delivered stronger than ever.”
“So that Obama-Biden political era, the net result of it is that Donald Trump is now one of the strongest presidents in the modern American political era.”
