Not Eight, Not One!
The idea that the orange-coated, kiddy-fiddling golf cheat single-handedly extinguished eight wars isn’t just infantile, proud rhetoric; it’s demonstrably false. What’s being touted as ending wars is, at best, a series of very partial diplomatic interactions, ceasefire pauses or agreements that are either still fragile, disputed, or haven’t stopped the underlying conflict.
1. Israel and Hamas (Gaza conflict)
Trump has claimed credit for ending this war via a U.S.-brokered ceasefire and hostage deal. While he played a key role in negotiating a major truce and prisoner exchange, the conflict is far from permanently ended. Significant issues remain unresolved—including disarming Hamas, Gaza’s governance, Israeli troop withdrawal, and a path to a two-state solution—and fighting has flared up again in some periods after the initial ceasefire.
2. Israel and Iran
Trump has taken credit for stopping a short but intense 12-day conflict involving Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. He deserves some recognition for helping broker a ceasefire (with U.S. and Qatari involvement), but this is widely viewed as a temporary respite in a long-standing cold war/hostile standoff rather than a true end to hostilities, with underlying tensions and proxy conflicts persisting.
3. India and Pakistan
Trump has repeatedly claimed he ended fighting between these nuclear-armed neighbours after a brief escalation (e.g., airstrikes following a Kashmir attack). Pakistan credited him and nominated him for a Nobel, but India has firmly rejected his role as “baseless,” insisting the ceasefire was agreed directly between the two countries without meaningful U.S. mediation.
4. Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)
Trump has boasted of settling a decades-long vicious conflict. The U.S. helped mediate a temporary peace deal, but violence has continued unabated—hundreds of civilians have been killed since the agreement, M23 rebels (linked to Rwanda) remain active, and the deal has been called shaky or incomplete by experts and observers.
5. Thailand and Cambodia
Trump has claimed he ended border clashes via U.S. pressure (including trade leverage). A ceasefire was reached with his involvement, but both sides have since accused each other of violations, leading to renewed skirmishes and fighting in recent months, showing that the peace was short-lived and fragile.
6. Armenia and Azerbaijan
Trump has taken credit for normalising relations after decades of conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh. He helped facilitate an agreement to reopen routes and ease tensions, but no full peace treaty has been signed or ratified; key issues (e.g., constitutional changes) remain outstanding, and implementation has been incomplete.
7. Egypt and Ethiopia
Trump has claimed he prevented or ended a war over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam on the Nile. No actual war ever occurred—this has always been a long-running diplomatic and water-rights dispute with heightened tensions but no military conflict. No final resolution or binding deal has been reached, and mediation efforts (including from Trump’s first term) have stalled.
8. Serbia and Kosovo
Trump has asserted that he prevented a major war between the two. There is little to no evidence of an active or imminent war during his second term—no shots fired, no troops mobilised, no escalation beyond routine tensions. References often point to older economic normalisation deals from his first term, but no new conflict was “ended” as claimed.
Give us a fucking break - we’re not all braindead #MAGA to blindly lap up anything that intellectually challenged, tantrum-throwing, self-obsessed, mythomaniacal, pathological liar regurgitates.
