Donald Trump Praises…President Obama?

Nov. 21, 2012 8:27pm Jason Howerton

Real estate mogul Donald Trump is a notoriously outspoken critic of President Barack Obama and his policies. But on Wednesday, the Donald had nothing but kind words for the commander-in-chief.

Trump, via his official Twitter account, said Obama did a “good job” handling the ongoing crisis between Israel and Hamas in Gaza and helped “stop the war” after the two spent days exchanging fire.

Pres. Obama’s steady support of @israel throughout this crisis helped stop the war.He did a good job.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 21, 2012

A cease-fire agreement between Israel and the Gaza Strip’s Hamas rulers took effect Wednesday night, bringing an end to eight days of the fiercest fighting in years. The agreement was sponsored by Egypt.

Trump was apparently in a particularly good mood on Wednesday, he even wished everyone a happy Thanksgiving — including his “many enemies.”

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to everyone–I love you all, even my many enemies (sometimes!).

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 21, 2012

Look, the reason Hamas agreed to the cease fire was because 75,000 of the finest kick your ass soldiers were ready to invade, take no prisoners, destroy all infrastructure and never give back Gaza again. If they came in they were going to destroy all buildings including schools and malls harboring rockets. As crappy as the standard of living is now, it was going to be a paradise utopia compared to the moonscape the Israeli forces would leave Hamas to govern its people.

  The REAL reason that the war has gone into hiatus is that Hamas has run out of rockets. That is why they tried to make ‘open borders’ part of the cease-fire agreement. It would come as no surprise to learn that Israel got certain assurances from the U.S. concerning the handling of the Iran situation either.

  Oobama did nothing more than lip service. Hamas is just waiting for more rockets coming from Iran then it will be Hamas and Hezbolla at once. This is a waiting game for the terrorist groups.

  Trump is taking heat fron the majority of the citizens who are loyal Americans and support our President. He has money at stake and pandering to the poor southern states doesn’t do much to help sell his Macy’s line or fill his casinos. He knows the incomes of the blue states are what keeps his sales up. If he didn’t he’d be selling a line of bib overalls and camo jackets at Cabella’s

  “Trump is taking heat fron the majority of the citizens who are loyal Americans and support our President.”
  
  The previous sentence is oxymoronic and tells you something about the author. For the low-informed, a loyal American does not support the president for ANYTHING, because he does nothing for the good of America OR Israel. He never has and he never will. Period!

  What happened on election day was that a boatload of guilt laden old farts, desparate to continue living because they led sinful lives, voted for the freebie tossing Obama and his goons. They are so selfish they even sell their own grandkids out. That is the character of the freebie crowd. Until 10 million or so of the leeches die off, we will get election outcomes like Nov 7. Oh, and they WILL die off under Obama and his goons. The younger crowd will grow tired of not being employed and the pendulum will swing back. Seen it many times.

  Truthhurst,, the only low information voters and the Beckerheads and the other dead enders that curse and slander the President, your brain is poisoned by the lies of Fox and Beck, so much so that you are unable to know what the truth is.
  
  Tea Partiers are not Patriots, they are just whiners, upset that America and the GOP is leaving them behind and making their ignorant views irrelavent. Obama is your President, the American people voted and spoke, they spoke out against extremes of Tea Party.

  No he is not. He is an individual who has worked hard, fought harder and says what he means. He is sincere about this praise for Obama. Some people still hope that now that Obama doesn’t have to cowtow to the far left to get re-elected he can begin to act like a President and worry more about his
  Legacy and the world his own kids are going to get. ALSO that he’s smart enough to see (using your description of Trump but turning it to the leaders of EPA, for example) —to see how misguided these silly left wingers really are…or Obama may be the ANTI – CHRIST.
  I like Donald TRUMP….I enjoy his bombastic nature and his passion for life. WE need more INDIVIDUALS. Do I want to see him President…no… but will I watch his shows and root for his success… YES!

  I’m sorry Patty but you’re wrong on this one. We have a bunch of people who claimed to be on our side (Christie, Boener, Trump) who now have the “If you can’t beat em join em” attitude and THAT is the biggest problem with our country today. Could you imagine at some point if someone like John Hancock turned around and said “We’ll you know, King George isn’t such a bad guy. I mean he did handle that crisis well”. Trump is a fraud and a sham and he’s needed to go away for a VERY long time. Anyone who isn’t for us is against us….

  No threats needed Gonzo…..Unfortunately Israel can only defend itself with as little force as necessary,after they have been attacked repeatedly……So hamas can fire rockets at will then call a truce at a time of their choosing and Israel must immediately cease fire due to world pressure…..Obama and the Muslim Brotherhood know sad scenario.

Could be everyone is wrong about the Israeli conflict. The question is: was this a staged event to take the heat off of the administration for the Benghazi debacle?

Since it is a well known fact that the Muslim Brotherhood are friends of the administration, could the, so called “war,” have been a special arrangement? If you want to distract the American public, a middle eastern uprising is surely a perfect way to do it. Just wonder’n folks, just wonder’n.

  I am looking to see how many rockets are fired tomorrow & over the weekend.
  
  The will blame the Salsfist & Islamic Jihad faction & Hamas will say we cannot control them *snicker * snicker*. After 2 weeks if there is a lull rocket attacks will creep up.
  
  There should be a threshold were x number of rocket attacks means the truce is null & void & one side or the other are lying sacks of sh/t. Also at that point it should be pointed at certain ambassadors are not worth anything.
  
  They say that it takes time to get the word out. It might take 12 to 24 hours. As if there are not radio, cell phones & other media. This is a digital world & very connected even in the Middle East. That excuse gives terrorists more time to kill. or try to.
  
  I expect the truce to be violated, but violated just slow enough that the MSM says nothing to see here.

  Guitar Master has a good point. I’ve wondered the same thing today. The peace came a bit too easily; those guys don’t stop fighting that easily. I’m sure that at the least Bilary bribed the Arabs with many many millions of dollars of our hard earned tax money to lay off. What a good idea, eh? Does that set your **** on fire or what?? Sure does mine.

These conspiracies would require the silence of so many tens of thousands of co-conspirators including the Isrealis. You seriously believe this?

  A good way to look at it. After all—both the Clinton and Rice women were used by Obama like $5 whores to move the Benghazi attention away from him. He kicked both of those characters under his bus and they went willingly to ‘protect’ him.

The lasting outcomes: Hamas lives to re-arm and fight another day unrepentant and stronger for it. Hillary receives media accolades for brokering a “peace” pushing her role in Benghazi off the back pages. Morsi is credited as a peace maker for now, preserving continued US Billions$ in financial/military aid from congress to build up and bide time.

  Hillery didn’t show up until 24 hours after the agreement was reached. Obama sent her so he could infer he was involved. Hillery is as lousy at being the Secretary of State as she is at being a wife. Double FAIL.

Wars have winners and losers.I wish Israel would’ve just gotten it over with,once and for all.This game of going back and forth,cease fires,kissing ass through ‘diplomacy’ has been going on for too long .I wonder how much USA taxpayer money was promised to Egypt and the Muslim Boyhood from Clintoon/Obama?

  I agree this is a staged event. First clue…morsi being involved. He is the US enemy as well as Israel’s, but a friend to the deceiver-in-chief and admin. Hamas will have time enough to get the weapons coming from Iran. The fireworks will begin again soon. The only way this will end is with the defeat of the enemies of Israel. And it will be without the help of the current US admin assistance.
