    I don’t know if I would count “making an announcement on social media” as stopping the genocide, but I understand that for Trump voters the bar on anything must be very low.

      So why are Democrats already spinning their comments as if Biden is achieving a ceasefire right now?

            I might be blind, where are those articles saying Biden admin solved it? They are saying opposite?

              I thought you meant evidence Trump was responsible for the ceasefire. For Democrats trying to claim credit here is an example.

              Trump and Biden both claim credit for Gaza ceasefire deal

                Wait, so from this article Biden’s guy said that “we want you to do X” while Trump’s guy said “we want the same” and then everyone agreed?

        What makes you think Trump should get the credit?

        Biden said his admin and the incoming Trump admin worked together on it, and Trump’s is responsible for the implementation and continuance of the agreement.

                lol or you and that articles anonymous sources were wrong….

                Its ok to be wrong. I find it kinda funny though that you had to downvote a purely factual article just because you didn’t like the development of the situation.

                It can’t be the source because you used the same one 40 minutes ago: https://lemmy.ml/comment/16115856

                  Do you understand the difference between Democrats trying to take credit, and Israelis and Arab sources attributing the credit to Trump?

                  One takes credit. The other is given credit.

    Seems more likely he’ll just let things devolve further…

    Trump would not elaborate on what he meant by his threat — first announced on social media in early December — that “all hell will break out” if a deal is not made.

    “It will not be good for Hamas, and it will not be good, frankly, for anyone,” Trump said. -Source

    Not sure he understands the implications of his own statement…

      Stopping a genocide is the opposite of devolving. Trumps statement is a direct threat to Israel. There is no leverage or “worse” for Hamas. Democrats trying to spin Trump stopping the genocide into something bad is comical.

        Trumps statement is a direct threat to Israel.

        You realize he’s literally threatening Hamas here, no?

        “It will not be good for Hamas, and it will not be good, frankly, for anyone,” Trump said.

        He seems more likely to stop the genocide by allowing Isreal to just kill everyone so there’s no one left to genocide…

        They are more likely to give Israel a lot of leeway, including releasing Biden’s hold on the transfer of certain weapons to finish the job as soon as possible. Source

          Trump holds no leverage over Hamas. He knows that. The word anyone in that sentence means Israel.

          What did that ‘respect’ get little old Joey Brandon? All Trump had to do was threaten to cut off the weapons.

          Trump already did something

              Trump gets his funding from Miriam Adelson. the $100 million she gave him is clearly not even close to what the Democrats received. Becacuse Trump is stopping the genocide instantly. Kool aid is supposed to be red but these days it is blue.

                Dude Trump isn’t even in office yet lol.

                Your logic as viewed by everyone else:

                “If it’s good, Trump did it. If it’s bad, it’s Biden’s fault.”

                PLEASE tell me you’re thinking it through more than this, then let’s have a dialogue about that thought process because I am incredibly curious how you got there.

                Kool aid comes in multiple colors.
