Trump's moment in the sun

"This is Trump's moment in the sun. Consequently, it is America's moment in the sun. For those who are Trump haters or Never Trumpers, I feel sorry for you. You are missing out on a joy this morning which is richly deserved by all of us. In other words, to use yesterday's lingo - SHARE THE LOVE, MAN (OR WOMAN)!"    

Today, I got up super early. Why? Can't sleep? No, I could have slept longer. But I wanted to watch history. I wanted to see if those barbarians called Hamas would live up to their word and release at least some of the live hostages. First came nine and then came the rest. To my surprise and delight, by 5am, all twenty were released to the Red Cross. And then transferred to the IDF and then brought home to Israel. Thank God Almighty, their long nightmare is now over.

Everybody, friend or foe alike, is saying the same thing. Without Trump and his team, this Phase One of the peace accord would have NEVER happened. And truthfully, the "go to" guy which was the power in the engine - was Steve Witkoff. As Trump told the Knesset this morning, Trump did not just pick Steve because he was a good negotiator, he picked him because he liked people, and people liked him. Trump went on to say the first time he sent Witkoff to meet with Putin about peace in Ukraine, they talked for five hours! Most people only get five minutes of Putin's time. But - Putin liked Witkoff, so they talked about a great many things, including the war in Ukraine. That relationship could pay huge dividends in the very near future with settling the Ukraine issue.

It is a wonderful thing when peace starts to break out all over. Right now, the joy in Israel is off the charts. What has happened in Gaza might be a harbinger to what could happen with Iran and all its proxies. Why? The United States has Israel's back. Iran learned from our B-2 bombing that we have the skill, the equipment and the will to make life hell for countries who choose war over peace. For countries who choose peace while Trump is president, good things will happen. For countries who choose war - well, let's just say it will be a bad day for them.

When Trump was addressing the Knesset, it was a real love fest. Okay - there were a couple of liberal butt heads who tried to disrupt his speech. But as usual, Trump handled it with grace and humor. And right after the Knesset speech, Trump was off to meet with some of the Arab countries. Why? He wants to keep that relationship strong. He wants the Abraham Accord to grow and strengthen. Dare I say this? Under Biden, our relationships with Israel and the Arab Counties withered. Under Trump, everything flourishes.

This is Trump's moment in the sun. Consequently, it is America's moment in the sun. For those who are Trump haters or Never Trumpers, I feel sorry for you. You are missing out on a joy this morning which is richly deserved by all of us. In other words, to use yesterday's lingo - SHARE THE LOVE, MAN (OR WOMAN)!
