Trump’s Triumph, the Establishment’s Shame

Nobody could have done this in Gaza but President Donald J. Trump. And he fixed not just Gaza but the entire Middle East. Look at what has happened here. After almost 80 years of this bloodbath, Donald Trump came along, fixed it, and made it look easy. All the geniuses, all the smart guys, all the best in class from the Georgetown School of Foreign Service couldn’t make that happen. Obama couldn’t do it. Biden couldn’t do it. Jimmy Carter couldn’t do it. None of them could do it. The experts’ only expertise was failure. 

It took Donald Trump to fix the Middle East, and our ruling class will never forgive him for it.

Here’s a message to the garbage foreign policy establishment whose unbroken track record of failure has resulted in bloodshed and humiliation for decades: Seethe.

Seethe, because the guy you alleged betters of ours think is an idiot, who was elected at least twice by people you think are idiots, did what you couldn’t do. He brought peace to the Middle East, and he did it exactly how you dummies told us it couldn’t be done. Not with silly “peace processes.” Not with the appeasement of seventh-century savages. Not with twisting Israel’s arms to put itself at risk of genocide. He wasn’t a flaccid mediator – he was an ass kicker. He combined ruthless military force with hard-nosed negotiations, and instead of rolling over for a bunch of glorified carpet traders, he made them swallow his terms to where they gagged but still submitted. 

That’s no surprise. He had useful experience as opposed to useless credentials. President Trump was a New York real estate developer, and so were his helpers, who the smart set also think are idiots, like Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff. They actually understand how to negotiate. It’s not a ritual or exercise that you learn in a seminar in some grad school. You don’t go into a negotiation trying to make everybody happy like our sissy diplomats used to do; you go into a negotiation to win it. Team Trump did it every day for decades in business in one of the most cutthroat environments in America, Big Apple land dealing. They succeeded there, and they succeeded in the Levant.

This is yet another huge humiliation for our worthless ruling class. Everything they touch has turned to Schiff. The people who oversee most of the institutions in our society are not there because they’re smarter or because they’re exceptional, but because they’re credentialed and networked with their buddies from the University of College. That, plus their spineless willingness to submit to whatever idiotic fashion is in vogue at the moment, from BLM to DEI to every other kind of woke crap, makes them utter patsies when they’re dealing with serious people. And the Arabs, including the Palestinians, are serious people. They really mean it when they tell you they’re going to kill you. But our ruling class doesn’t understand that. They see real life as an academic exercise, while everybody else sees it as a knife fight. Most of them have never thrown a punch in the schoolyard. They’re sissies, they’re weak, and they’re stupid.

Oh, they’re so stupid.

But not guys like Donald Trump and certainly not guys like the ones who elected him again and again and again. No, guys like that are also serious people. They’ve had tough lives. They’ve done hard things. They haven’t had the chance to glide since they got admitted into Harvard – nobody flunks out of Harvard, and the hardest day is the day you get admitted. Our trash elite has lived on Easy Mode for far too long. Our ruling class has not experienced accountability in decades. The poobahs find it morally offensive. How dare they be held accountable to the peasants they’re supposed to be ruling over? Look at the ridiculous Jim Comey being morally offended that somebody might deal with his actual perjury the way he made people deal with the “perjury” he framed them for. Same with Leticia James, another crook with an IQ on par with her shoe size—18 Large.

This triumph for Donald Trump once again highlights just how unaccomplished most of the people who are in society’s positions of authority are. We have the worst ruling class since the French Revolution. It’s incredible how dumb the people who think they’re smarter than we are are. And that’s why they’re so angry – because they know it. Oh, they put on a brave front about how they are the best and brightest, but they know. They all have that nagging feeling inside that they’re not the geniuses they present themselves as, that they’re not achievers, that they’re impostors. And they are. They’re posing as competent people.

That’s why it gnaws at them to see Trump win. How many Democrats have congratulated Donald Trump on this unvarnished victory? Oh, and it was a victory – the Democrats’ friends in Hamas and among the terrorist fellow travelers are devastated by the utter humiliation Donald Trump has imposed on their heroes. This wasn’t a victory for Hamas. It was a total and complete defeat, an utter surrender. Sure, Trump is a smart enough negotiator not to rub it in, but he doesn’t have to. Everybody knows. The Democrats know, and it infuriates them. The Nobel Committee knows, and the fjord jockeys on it are infuriated – they’ll show him by awarding their stupid prize to a female freedom fighter from the Third World. 

There’s nothing wrong with the woman whom they honored, but let’s face it. Unsuccessfully agitating against a communist dictator in South America is not 1/1000th as momentous as solving the Middle East crisis. It’s been on our television every day of our lives. I remember watching this crap unfold in the '70s; I was a little kid trying to watch Mark Spitz in the 1972 Olympics when the scumbag Palestinians decided to go on a televised murder spree. Thanks to Trump, that’s over. The Abraham Accords are wrapping up Arab and other Muslim countries with both America and Israel. Iran has been neutered thanks to Donald Trump, and the Houthis have returned to their regularly scheduled molesting of the local livestock. 

Donald Trump did it all. He’s not going to get their approval, but he doesn’t need it. He’s won. Barack Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize is no award. It’s a badge of shame. Everybody knows it means nothing. Everybody knows he means nothing. He failed to achieve peace in the Middle East. His Iran plan failed. He’s nothing. And Joe Biden, that eggplant, is less than nothing. But Trump is a legend. And those of us who support him are legends, too.

They keep talking about the adults in the room, but those establishment adults in the room are always wearing adult diapers because the establishment adults keep soiling themselves. If you want success, don’t go to some liberal elitist. Go find yourself a conservative populist. We get it done. And the people who presume to look down on us? When they look down, all they’ll see is us celebrating our latest success.

Let them seethe.
