Tom Malinowski insisted President Joe Biden could not have secured a ceasefire deal “without” President-elect Donald Trump.
“This was Biden’s deal, but as much as I hate to say it, he couldn’t have done it without Trump -- not so much Trump’s performative threats to Hamas, but his willingness to tell Bibi bluntly that the war had to end by Jan. 20. And that’s damning,” Malinowski wrote Wednesday onHe said that while Biden was the “best president I’ve ever seen at building our alliances w/European & Asian democracies,” he was “lousy at dealing with leaders who only speak ‘thug’”.
“This is an oversimplification, and there are exceptions to the rule.But I think the problem with Biden is that he believed in our values but not our power. Whereas Trump believes in our power, but not our values. As Democrats, I hope we will learn hard lessons from both,” he said.the 2022 midterm electionsTrump wasted no time in asserting he was the moving force behind the deal.
