President Donald Trump's efforts in international diplomacy have garnered commendation, even from some Democrats who have managed to maintain a balanced perspective.
During a recent segment on Fox News' "The Five," former Democratic Representative Harold Ford Jr. of Tennessee acknowledged the significance of Trump's peacemaking initiatives. Ford's remarks underscore a rare moment of bipartisan recognition for the President's role in potentially resolving the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
As reported by the Western Journal, Ford expressed his admiration for Trump's diplomatic endeavors, stating, "I give President Trump tremendous credit for where we are." He further elaborated on the potential impact of Trump's involvement, saying, "And if he is able, again, to engineer this deal weve been saying for weeks on this show I would be the first " Ford then addressed his conservative counterparts on the panel, including host Jesse Watters, with a hopeful invitation: "I would hope you would invite me down to the White House when the President is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, because he would absolutely deserve it."
The acknowledgment from Ford, a former congressman who served from 1997 to 2007, highlights a time when Democrats were not as afflicted by what some describe as Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). This condition, characterized by an irrational opposition to Trump, has permeated much of the Democratic establishment and media. Ford's departure from Washington, D.C., seemingly allowed him to avoid the pervasive influence of TDS, enabling him to recognize Trump's substantial contributions to global peace.
Bill Maher, a comedian and host known for his critical stance on Trump, also conceded the President's peacemaking prowess on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher." Maher, who has often been vocal in his criticism, admitted, "This would be the good in Donald Trump. He really does not like war." He proceeded to list several international disputes where Trump played a mediating role, including conflicts between Thailand and Cambodia, Rwanda and the Congo, India and Pakistan, and Armenia and Azerbaijan.
The recognition from both Ford and Maher serves as a reminder to their fellow Democrats and liberal audiences of the President's significant contributions to international diplomacy. Acknowledging these achievements could potentially mitigate the effects of TDS, which has led many Democrats to adopt extreme and irrational positions.
