On Friday, Trump gave Hamas a deadline \u2014 accept the deal by Sunday at 6 p.m. Eastern or face consequences. Hamas quickly responded, agreeing to give up control of Gaza and release all remaining hostages, while saying some details still required consultation with other Palestinian factions. Trump\u2019s firm deadline and direct approach have already accomplished what years of empty diplomacy never could \u2014 real progress toward peace.<\/p>\n<p>But, rather than celebrate the prospect of peace, some commentators seem triggered by the idea that Trump, of all people, might succeed where countless global leaders have failed.<\/p>\n<p>On the latest edition of CNN\u2019s\u00a0<em>Newsnight<\/em>, foreign affairs analyst Reena Nina laid out the complex diplomatic environment surrounding the ongoing negotiations. \u201cThis is a moment where you\u2019ve got so many of the right things lined up,\u201d she said, noting that regional pressure on Hamas has intensified. \u201cIn the Arab world, there\u2019s a \u2014 I\u2019m hearing a great deal of pressure from countries like, you know, Turkey and Qatar, saying to Hamas, you\u2019ve got to do this and take this deal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nina added that Hamas \u201crealizes there aren\u2019t a lot of windows of opportunity for this,\u201d referencing the earlier Gilad Shalit prisoner swap. \u201cYou\u2019re waiting for 20 hostages that are living, that we believe are still alive and possibly as many as 30 bodies,\u201d she explained. Then she made a striking admission: \u201cI do believe this window of opportunity is real\u2026 because I really believe President Trump. I really believe he will unleash hell and fury if they don\u2019t follow through with this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even CNN host Abby Phillip couldn\u2019t deny the implications if this pans out. \u201cIf President Trump is able to do this, this is a major\u2014it\u2019s a major victory for him,\u201d she said, before quickly pivoting to suggest Trump\u2019s motives might not be purely humanitarian. \u201cHe wants the war to end for a lot of reasons. Some of them are personal reasons. He wants that Nobel Peace Prize,\u201d Phillip said. But even she conceded that Trump \u201cdoes not like the idea of all the death and destruction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s when the tone shifted from analysis to thinly veiled resentment. Liberal commentator Alencia Johnson admitted it was \u201cchallenging to actually hear that piece of, you know, Trump being\u2014potentially being the one to get the ceasefire deal.\u201d Her discomfort was palpable. \u201cI would be interested to understand President Trump\u2019s interest in this,\u201d she said, suggesting skepticism about his motives. \u201cHe has said some things that are very harmful to the Palestinian people. I don\u2019t know, you know, what his motivations are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Imagine being so consumed with Trump Derangement Syndrome that you\u2019d actually lament the prospect of peace simply because it might make Trump look good. Alencia Johnson\u2019s comments captured this perfectly \u2014 the left\u2019s reflexive inability to acknowledge any Trump success, even one that could save lives. Ending a brutal war and bringing home hostages should be something everyone celebrates, yet Trump\u2019s critics sound almost offended that he might be the one to accomplish it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CNN\u2019s Scott Jennings was having none of it. \u201cThis is not a political issue,\u201d he said bluntly. \u201cLook, President Trump has been clear from the beginning he wants the hostages back.\u201d Jennings reminded viewers that Trump \u201chad an initial deal to get some hostages\u201d soon after taking office in January, but that \u201cHamas reneged on that deal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s been clear from the beginning,\u201d Jennings said. \u201cI just want these people back. The people who are alive, we pray that they\u2019re still alive, the remains that exist \u2014 it all needs to happen and it needs to happen quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He didn\u2019t mince words about Hamas either: \u201cI don\u2019t want to be strung along by these terrorists. I want the hostages. That\u2019s what the President wants. And I don\u2019t want him to give them very much time because they don\u2019t deserve it and these people need to come home. We\u2019re almost two years into this.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">&#8220;If President Trump is able to do this, this is a major&#8230; [sad pause] it&#8217;s a major&#8230; [sad pause] victory for him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is challenging to actually hear that piece of, Trump being potentially the one to get the ceasefire deal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Liberals hate it when Trump succeeds. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hyG1bmoYmm\">pic.twitter.com\/hyG1bmoYmm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Thomas Hern (@ThomasMHern) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ThomasMHern\/status\/1974306586895298951?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 4, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\nEven CNN\u2019s own analysts couldn\u2019t deny the magnitude of the moment, yet the left\u2019s sheer disgust at the possibility of Trump succeeding was unmistakable.

That\u2019s the sickness at the heart of modern leftism: they would rather see war drag on, hostages remain in tunnels, and innocent people suffer than admit that President Trump\u2019s leadership is delivering results they could only dream of.
