President Trump returned from the Middle East with more than just diplomatic photos and polite applause — he brought home a ceasefire and the release of the remaining Israeli hostages.
And like it or not, this deal was his. He proposed it in late September. He negotiated the contours. He leveraged the relationships. The outcome? A war that had raged since the October 7, 2023 massacre — brutal, bloody, and politically explosive — was brought to a halt.
OOF — POTUS drags @Alyssafarah after she failed to honor her promise & wear a MAGA hat.

Of course, you wouldn’t know that from the way liberal Democrats and former Biden officials are scrambling to inject themselves into the success story. The spin machine kicked into overdrive the moment the ink dried.
Suddenly, voices who hadn’t been near a negotiation table in over a year were claiming the framework “looked familiar.” The implication? That they’d somehow laid the groundwork. As if they had quietly handed Trump a playbook before being shown the door in 2024.
That’s fiction.
There’s a reason this deal didn’t happen on Biden’s watch: he couldn’t get it done. Whether it was weakness on Iran, open conflict with Netanyahu, or the internal fractures in his own party over Israel policy, the Biden administration was paralyzed from the start. Their ceasefire proposals were toothless. Their diplomacy was hollow. And their leverage? Nonexistent.
Trump, on the other hand, didn’t waste time. He used direct pressure on Qatar. He reopened back channels in Egypt. And he reminded Hamas that peace was the only alternative to total annihilation. He did what career diplomats, think tank panels, and Twitter blue-checks couldn’t — he shut it down.
But maybe the best moment in this entire saga belongs to former White House staffer and now The View co-host Alyssa Farah. In a moment of peak punditry overconfidence, she vowed to wear a MAGA hat if Trump pulled off a peace deal in the Middle East.
Well… he did. And she hasn’t.
So naturally, Trump had words. From the White House podium, he let her have it: calling her a “phony” and “a joke.” And whatever you think of the delivery, the point stands. You don’t get to move the goalposts every time you lose a bet. You made the wager. Now pay the price.
