Trump Defies Expectations: The Peacemaker the World Never Saw Coming
By Oladigbo Oluwasogo Olalekan
President Donald J. Trump has once again done the unthinkable — demonstrating his willingness to pursue peace over conflict and proving his critics wrong. For years, Democrats and the liberal media painted Trump as a reckless leader who would strip away freedoms and plunge the world into chaos. During the 2016 presidential debates, Secretary Hillary Clinton warned that a man with Trump’s temperament would “create more wars than peace.” Yet today, history tells a different story.
Rather than ignite conflict, President Trump has worked tirelessly to prevent wars and resolve long-standing disputes. The recent truce between Hamas and Israel stands as a testament to his resilience and his relentless desire to achieve peace at all costs. In an era where many world leaders have struggled to restore stability in the Middle East, Trump has once again proven that decisive leadership and unconventional diplomacy can deliver results.
Democrats, who once mocked his foreign policy, must now confront a hard truth: the war that spiraled under their watch could have been avoided if the United States had maintained its rightful position of global leadership. Some prominent Democrats — including Secretary Hillary Clinton, Vice President Kamala Harris, President Bill Clinton, President Joe Biden, and Senators John Fetterman and Tim Kaine — have acknowledged Trump’s historic achievement. Their recognition, though belated, underscores the magnitude of this moment in American and global politics.
However, not everyone within the Democratic Party seems ready to face reality. Members of the far-left congressional group known as The Squad — Rashida Tlaib, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and former members Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush — were once vocal advocates for a “Free Palestine” and demanded an immediate ceasefire during Trump’s administration. Yet now, when a genuine ceasefire has been achieved, their silence is deafening. It raises the question: were their protests truly about peace, or about the attention and political theater that came with them?
In the end, one fact stands tall above the noise — the real president has made peace. Whether Democrats choose to align with this new reality or continue down a path of denial will determine not just their party’s future, but America’s standing as a global leader in peace and diplomacy.
