Trumpiana: Heaven can wait for the greatest!

He did it! Against all odds Donald Trump, the self-styled world’s greatest peacemaker, had brokered a peace deal between Israel and Hamas bringing home 20 living Israeli hostages in return for 2,000 Palestinian prisoners. Now it was time to reap the glory!
“This isn’t only the end of a war, this is the end of an age of terror and death,” he declared grandiosely before the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, after arriving to a hero’s welcome in the Israeli capital. “This is the historic dawn of a new Middle East.”
Even as he laid out a lofty vision of a “golden age” in the region, he did not forget to make a case for his loyalist Israel’s embattled premier Bibi Netanyahu facing fraud and bribery trials. “Give him a pardon, come on,” Trump digressed. “Cigars and champagne, who the hell cares about that?”
Then taking a whirlwind, 11-hour victory lap, the great showman flew to Sharm El-Sheikh, an Egyptian Red Sea resort, for a summit of 20 world leaders ostensibly aimed at spurring a momentum for a broader postwar settlement.
But the chief interest at Monday’s “largely pointless Gaza summit” lay in whether Trump “insulted or feted his fellow global leaders… as they approached to shake hands and pose for a thumbs-up photograph,” as the Guardian put it.

Treating them like schoolchildren, he called Italy’s Giorgia Meloni, “beautiful,” put Britain’s Keir Starmer in his place behind him as he pushed forward Pakistan’s powerless premier Shehbaz Sharif to sing his praises for preventing “a devastating war” between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan.
Then to make the only point he really had been itching to drive home all along, Trump told Hungarian prime minister, Viktor Orbán, he liked him, only to add, “I know a lot of people don’t agree with me, but I am the only one that matters.”
But “heading back home to a very safe and beautiful Washington, D.C.” after “accomplishing so much in Israel and Egypt,” a triumphant Trump still miffed at missing the Nobel, mused that even this would not earn him a place in heaven.
“I don’t think there’s anything that’s gonna get me in heaven. I really don’t. I think I’m not, maybe, heaven-bound,” he told reporters. “I may be in heaven right now as we fly in Air Force One. I’m not sure I’m gonna be able to make heaven. But I’ve made life better for a lot of people. 🙏”
Later, sitting in his redone ornate Oval Office, Trump claimed Alyssa Farah Griffin — an ex-aide turned critic and current co-host on The View, who had once vowed to wear a MAGA hat if and when the Israeli hostages were released — had called him the ‘greatest president’ — even greater than Washington and Lincoln!
At another event in “the new Rose Garden, where everyone can see the Presidential Wall of Fame and the Palm Court renovation,” to posthumously award assassinated conservative activist Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Trump boasted about how he himself had survived a shooting last year.

“They fired sniper rifles at Ice agents, and me, you know, but I was – I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. I turned to the right,” Trump said. “Charlie couldn’t believe it, actually. He said: ‘How the hell did you make that turn?’ I said, ‘I don’t know.’”
Meanwhile, the White House quickly updated in red ink Trump’s peacemaking scorecard to claim he had ended eight wars in eight months as he moved to notch his ninth win with a two and a half hour call with Russia’s Vladimir Putin and a meeting with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
While slippery Putin cajoled Trump into having another summit – this time in Budapest, Hungary, Zelenskyy who had come calling to get long range Tomahawk missiles that could strike far deeper into Russia to deter future Russian attacks, left the White House disappointed.
The meeting was “very interesting, and cordial, but I told him, as I likewise strongly suggested to President Putin, that it is time to stop the killing, and make a DEAL!” he posted on Truth Social.
“Enough blood has been shed, with property lines being defined by War and Guts. They should stop where they are. Let both claim Victory, let History decide! No more shooting, no more Death, no more vast and unsustainable sums of money spent,” Trump wrote.
Meanwhile, as the government shutdown with an estimated 750,000 government employees furloughed without pay entered its 18th day, POTUS hosted a dinner for some of the richest people in America to raise more than $250-million for a new White House ballroom.
He also showed his guests models of a triumphal arch with two eagles and a golden, winged angel on top, somewhat resembling the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, he wants to build in Washington for America’s 250th birthday.

But Trump was unhappy about a “relatively good story,” Time Magazine wrote about “His Triumph” with a “really weird!” picture that “may be the Worst of All Time.”
“They ‘disappeared’ my hair, and then had something floating on top of my head that looked like a floating crown, but an extremely small one. Really weird! I never liked taking pictures from underneath angles, but this is a super bad picture, and deserves to be called out. What are they doing, and why?”
A fan, ‘WomenForTrump@IstandwithTrump47,’ responded with a redone picture saying, “I fixed it, they may should fire the one who did it and hire me! ☺️”
Maybe as his detractors planned a second round of “No Kings” protests across all 50 states against his “authoritarian” agenda, the great fixer in the sky was redoing heaven to make it fit for the King, Pope, Superman all rolled into one!
