‘American verdict’ confirms that ‘Trump is the Peace President’
“Trump is the Peace President,” said James Johnson, co-founder of JL Partners. “That’s the verdict of the American public who give him the title of the living president to have done most for peace in the Middle East. And though Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize, voters overwhelmingly think that Trump has done more for peace than Obama. Trump might not have the Nobel Peace Prize yet, but America has spoken: they believe he is the Peace President.”Trump’s success in the Middle East contrasts with his Democratic predecessors. Biden, president during the October 7 terror attack, secured the release of 24 hostages over Thanksgiving but failed to negotiate a wider ceasefire. Obama, a Nobel Peace Prize recipient, came second in the poll with 16 per cent support for Middle East peace achievements.Trump also continues to focus on other global crises, holding a call with Russian President Vladimir Putin and preparing to host Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House.The poll was conducted on Tuesday and Wednesday among 1,004 registered voters. It carries a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 per cent.Trump has claimed to have ended seven wars during his presidency. He highlighted his role in brokering ceasefires between Israel and Hamas, Armenia and Azerbaijan, and India and Pakistan. Additionally, Trump pointed to agreements involving Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, as well as Egypt and Ethiopia, as part of his diplomatic efforts.
