In recent hours, Donald Trump has experienced some of the happiest moments of his political life. He seemed positively exultant at the peace agreement signing ceremony. Everything was full of reasons to celebrate. He reached a historic agreement. Hostages were returning home. Hamas accepted the ceasefire. His unique negotiation style — threatening terrorists with a hellish war if they refused the deal — had prevailed. He added yet another, more peaceful war to his record. And the left around the world wept inconsolably for reasons only the left itself could explain. Everything okay? Not quite: what the hell did they do to my hair on the cover of Time?
“His triumph” is probably one of the most complimentary reports a major left-wing outlet has ever devoted to Trump in his entire political career. The magazine was acknowledging something obvious: Trump has done more for peace than Biden and Obama combined — although that’s hardly a stretch. The so-called Republican ogre, supposedly destined to drag the world into World War III according to left-wing analysts across the West, had done it again: a historic peace agreement in a seemingly endless conflict that, in recent years, had produced some of the most depressing and terrifying images — most of them featuring Hamas terrorists, of course.
But the left always has to put the cherry on top. There’s something — perhaps a genetic mutation yet to be studied by science — that prevents them from telling a conservative, “Well done, congratulations,” without adding a disclaimer.
For years, right-wing politicians across the West have been victims of attacks and persecution. Every time a left-wing politician had to condemn an attack on a right-wing counterpart, they had to tack on a tagline to feign neutrality. When someone tried to assassinate Trump, the preferred condemnation from left-wing leaders on Twitter was always something like, “Despite political differences, I condemn the attack.” That “despite political differences” line when they were literally about to kill him is the clearest symptom we have of leftists’ sickness.
