It’s early days, but there are signs that Trump Derangement Syndrome is on the way out. And the Middle East peace deal that President Trump pulled off through sheer force of personality is part of the reason.
In a whirlwind 36 hours, the president addressed the Knesset in Jerusalem to hail a “new dawn in the Middle East,” then flew to Sharm el-Sheikh to sign the Gaza peace deal, flanked by the leaders of Egypt, Turkey and Qatar, who had helped force Hamas’ hand.
European leaders took a back seat and meekly kowtowed to Trump.
On the sidelines in Egypt, Trump gave weaselly Emmanuel Macron a bone-crusher handshake that lasted an excruciating 26 seconds, as the French president tried not to wince.
Trump also delivered one of the most humiliating political moments ever captured on video to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
