A tentative ceasefire deal in Gaza is making waves, but the real story here isn’t the fragile peace on the horizon—it’s about whom to thank for it. While some may throw around vague notions of diplomacy and foreign policy wizardry, the facts indicate it’s all Trump, baby! A political game is afoot, and Hamas knows that Donald Trump’s anticipated return to the Oval Office puts their terrorist ambitions on the chopping block.
Yes, folks, Trump’s potential win in 2024 has turned this situation into a high-stakes chess game. The ceasefire is so promising that even the Biden administration is left trying to bask in its non-existent glory. The administration’s attempts to claim credit are laughable at best. After months of chaos, under Biden’s “leadership,” the only thing that’s been secured is the title of “World’s Worst Diplomat.” Claiming he’s responsible for this ceasefire is like a toddler taking credit for the sun rising.
A reporter asks Karine Jean-Pierre in her final White House press briefing about giving Donald Trump credit for the ceasefire and hostage deal between Hamas and Israel that President Biden started negotiating back in May.
KJP isn't having any of it.

Even members of the Biden State Department had to reluctantly acknowledge Trump’s role in these negotiations, adding to the embarrassment of a presidency that prides itself on its foreign policy expertise. This is a painful slap on the face to the man who has touted himself as the ultimate deal-maker. Who would have thought we’d come to a point where a sitting president has to bow down to a man who isn’t even in power? But maybe this is all part of Biden’s master plan—to aim for the title of “most graceful loser” when Trump swoops back in.
Then there’s the infamous press conference featuring White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who decided to handle questions about the deal with the grace of a bumblebee on a unicycle. In her typical fashion, she fumbled her way through the questioning, dismissing a State Department spokesman as merely a “random person.” That’s right, instead of maintaining a cohesive narrative, she created a spectacle worthy of a circus. The press corps was treated to a ringside seat as her incompetence took center stage—who knew the White House could be the new comedy club?
In a chaotic exchange, she struggled to acknowledge the reality that Trump played a key role in this significant geopolitical maneuvering. Instead, she rambled on about the “framework” of a deal, as if buzzwords could distract from the fact that the administration is scrambling to pin down any semblance of success. A monumental opportunity for a practical foreign policy win slipped through their fingers, and all they could do was point back in time to a mythical “framework” established months prior.
With all this disarray, it’s clear that while infighting over who gets to claim the spotlight continues, the reality is simple: good luck with that, Biden. The idea that this administration could take credit for what’s clearly a Trump-inspired ceasefire is about as believable as a late-night infomercial promising six-pack abs after a week of couch surfing. Conservative Americans know who’s pulling the strings here, and everyone else is just playing catch-up to close a deal that should never have been this difficult for a sitting president in the first place.
