Commendation

Credit where it's due. Donald Trump secured a Gaza ceasefire and a release of hostages.

Yes, the circumstances on the ground were more favorable for him than for Joe Biden. Yes, Trump's accomplishments came in no small part due to his bullying. Yes, he's motivated above all by his lust for a Nobel Peace Prize and not by any affection for human life.

But there's something resembling peace now, which all parties desperately need. So I'll give him credit. Which reminded me that I also agreed with his push—though, again, achieved through bullying—to get European nations to pay more toward their defense.

There, Trump's done two things I can get behind. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to lie down and recover from having written that sentence.
