Well, well, well — look who suddenly found their gratitude.
Senator Mark Kelly, Democrat from Arizona and former NASA astronaut, just gave President Donald J. Trump something most Democrats wouldn’t hand over if their political lives depended on it: credit. And not just a polite nod. We’re talking “this was his deal” level credit. For ending a war. In the Middle East. That the Biden administration barely managed to fumble around the edges of for years.
Yes, that’s real.
On CNN’s State of the Union, of all places, Kelly told Dana Bash that Trump deserved “a lot of credit” for securing the deal that could finally — finally — bring the Israel-Hamas war to a close. The same war that has dragged on with horrifying headlines, civilian casualties, and zero clear leadership from the current White House.

So what changed?
Apparently, it only took Trump actually getting something done — again. Quietly. Behind the scenes. While legacy media and the D.C. cocktail circuit kept pretending he was the biggest threat to democracy since Julius Caesar.
Meanwhile, Trump sends over Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, two names Democrats used to scoff at, and together they help stitch together a deal involving multiple foreign governments, hostages, military tension, and decades of hatred. No teleprompters. No empty speeches about “our shared values.” Just results.
And now it’s happening. Hostages are being prepped for release. Aid trucks are rolling into Gaza. A fragile peace — or at least a breather — is forming. Even Kelly had to admit it, even if it probably tasted like sand in his mouth.
“This was his deal,” he said flat out. That sound you hear is half of MSNBC spontaneously combusting.
Of course, Kelly still managed to throw in a little hand-wringing. He hopes the Saudis and Emiratis will step up. He points out the suffering of the people in Gaza. And yes, it is a tragic situation. But where was this urgency two years ago? When Trump left office, the Abraham Accords had brought an actual framework for peace in the region — and Biden’s team, eager to undo anything orange-tinted, let it fall into the background.
While they were busy organizing “climate justice” conferences and obsessing over pronouns in official military documents, the Middle East started burning again.
Now, with their own party polling lower than expired mayonnaise and Americans watching in horror as chaos unfolds across the globe, suddenly… Trump doesn’t look so bad.

Should Donald Trump receive credit for the Gaza peace deal?— Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) October 12, 2025
BREAKING: Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) is SHOCKED that ANY Democrat would refuse to celebrate President Trump freeing the hostages in Gaza and ending the warJust hours after Kelly’s appearance, Trump boarded Air Force One — yes, he’s back in the saddle — and flew directly to Israel to greet the hostages expected to be released. Let that sink in. The man Democrats tried to paint as a warmonger is now stepping into history again — this time, as the guy who helped bring Americans home alive from a terror war.

Think about that.
Biden couldn’t finish a sentence without losing the plot. Trump’s been negotiating hostages out of Gaza.
You don’t have to love him. But you do have to admit: he gets things done.

The bigger question now? How many more Democrats are about to start “reluctantly” giving Trump credit — not because they want to, but because the facts have backed them into a corner?
Because when CNN guests start admitting Trump just brokered peace, you know the game has changed.
