New York Magazine: 'How Did Trump Get a Peace Deal Done Where Biden Could Not?'

New York magazine wondered aloud about the success of President Donald Trump in achieving a peace deal in the Middle East while the Biden administration was an utter failure in that regard. That puzzlement was reflected in the title of Ross Barkan's Tuesday Intelligencer section column, "How Did Trump Get a Peace Deal Done Where Biden Could Not?"

Barkin struggles with the idea of Trump's success by denigrating him as merely a transactional deal maker in the real estate mode as well as being primarily motivated by a desire to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Yes, such mockery is to be expected in the liberal New York magazine but what really stands out is also Barkan's criticism of Biden and his administration which is not merely harsh but downright brutal.

Wait a minute. He did say “Don’t!” quite a bit in response to Houthi and Iranian provocations. Please, give credit where credit is due

According to Trump at his news conference today, he bombed Iran and threatened everybody else with tariffs

And Biden wasn’t very decorative, nor was his VP and his family of stupid grifters.

He wasn’t a president; he was a sock puppet president

Because the Bidenpedobear administration was busy trying to force Israel to surrender to Hamas and release terrorists back to Hamas.

And don’t forget the terrorist resupply dock he had us build into Gaza.
It was interesting that it just magically crumbled and he didn’t try to rebuild it.
Wonder if the weapon resupply he was sending to Hamas got nabbed.

Because Biden had difficulty making coherent sentences, sometimes did not know where he was, didn’t even know how many states his own country has. And who could believe him after telling lie after lie?

Because pres Trump doesn’t demand 10% under the table/dirty money on any deal he brokers?

We’re talking about the difference between a potato and a master negotiator. There’s your answer.

Trump got the peace deal done and Biden couldn’t do it.

Must be like in Shakespeare in Love:

“I don’t know. It’s a mystery.”

Well there was no Peace Deal to begin with, just a Cease Fire and it looks like it is already falling apart. Neither Hamas or Israel signed any peace deal on Monday.

The potato and the master negotiator both have eyes.

But Trump used his to look for advantages and ways to get others on board with his deals.

It’s hard to make a deal when both sides are expecting bribes.

Biden didn’t try. If you’re in bed with the MIC, there’s money to be made in prolonging as many wars as possible.
