KENNEDY: Obama's bitter post about Trump's Gaza peace deal proves what I've long suspected about Barry... and it would make Sigmund Freud blush

• e-mail

‘Say his name…PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP’

That was the directive from White House Communications Director Steven Cheung, excoriating former President Barack Obama for the latter’s petulant statement on the Israel-Hamas peace agreement secured by President Donald Trump this week.

Though, by reading the post, you’d never know Trump’s role in the historic deal.

‘We should all be encouraged and relieved that an end to the conflict is within sight,’ Obama wrote, in part, never mentioning the big orange elephant in the room.

Why can’t the de facto leader of the Democrat party bring himself to acknowledge the Don’s triumph?

Could it be peace envy?

Easy, Freud.

And sad sack Barry’s not alone!

Trump successfully negotiated a peace agreement between Israel and Hamas this week

Smoke rises to the sky following an Israeli military strike in the northern Gaza Strip (pictured Wednesday, October 8, 2025). Why can’t the de facto leader of the Democrat party bring himself to acknowledge the Don’s triumph? Could it be peace envy?

A ceasefire has to sting for Gotham ghoul Zohran Mamdani, the progressive darling who has sailed up the leftist ladder to secure his party’s nomination for New York City mayor.

Other that being an avowed, property-redistributing socialist, Mamdani has made his name demonizing Trump and fighting to ‘free Palestine’ (he’s also the guy who went on NBC’s Meet the Press and refused to condemn the patently offensive phrase ‘Globalize the Intifada’).

Hundreds of aid trucks will, hopefully, soon be rolling into Gaza because of the hostages-for-prisoners swap.

All of the sudden the cause of globalizing intifadas does not seem as urgent.

Zohran will probably fall back on his other slogan ‘freeze the rent’ because this guy never grasped capitalism.

See, because of Trump, Arab partners from Qatar to Saudi Arabia are coming around to the idea that it is better for everyone to treat Israel like a trading partner instead of a sparring partner.

Capitalism beats Islamism. (We can hope.)

Another DC denier who is happier burning Trump in effigy than tossing him a shred of credit is musty Senator Bernie Sanders.

He holds the distinction of being the first member of Congress to claim Israel was guilty of ‘genocide’, so shouldn’t he be the loudest champion of the end to war?

Nope. On his podcast, broadcast the day the agreement was announced, ol’ ‘Feel the Bern’ laid into Trump as a ‘demagogue’ who was exploiting ‘powerless minorities.’

What a grumpy old fart!

The snobs on the Nobel Peace Prize committee may have withheld Trump’s trophy this time around, but the woman they gave it to, Venezuelan activist María Corina Machado, not only name-checked DJT, she dedicated her award to him.

Are you listening, Barry?

That’s class.

I’ll leave it to nepo-baby Democratic New York Congressman Dan Goldman to say the quiet part out loud.

Goldman went on CNN and tried his darndest to rationalize his buddy Joe Biden’s failure to stop the war, while minimizing Trump’s efforts.

‘I think the biggest problem President Biden had is there was no pressure from Qatar, from Turkey, from Egypt. They were actually facilitating in many ways what was going on and that is really ultimately how it all came together,’ he said.

Exactly!

‘But I think by saying that it's sort of an acknowledgement that Trump has changed that dynamic,’ said the CNN anchor.

'Yeah, I think that - I don't know how he, you know, I think that there's a lot that remains to learn about what prompted that change, but I do agree, yes. Somehow, someway, that changed,' sputtered Goldman.

Somehow, indeed.

Could it be that Democrats can’t bring themselves to give Trump credit because it is an admission that their worldview is completely facocked?

Trump’s clear military, diplomatic and moral backing of Israel over their terrorist enemies trumped the Left’s reckless equivocation.

Here’s my advice to Democrats: find some humility and a good shrink.

Bad sport

Bad Bunny graced the cursed Yankees with his presence at their final playoff faceplant this week, but he failed to stand for a beloved veteran during the playing of ‘God Bless America’.

Silly Rabbit, I defended your selection as the next Super Bowl halftime performer.

The least you can do is stand up for someone who fought for this country.

Maybe we should dust off Lee Greenwood after all!

Fat chance

Leonardo DiCaprio’s latest film, Paul Thomas Anderson’s ‘One Battle After Another,’ is a box office flop that’s been blasted as a ‘woke apologia for radical left-wing terrorism.’

Let’s face it, this leading man has seen better days.

The only battle Leo looks like he regularly fights – and loses – is one against the urge to scarf another hamburger.

Truth hurts

What are they putting in Nicole Kidman’s tea?

Speaking to Vogue in the wake of her divorce from Keith Urban she babbled: ‘So much to say and so little time to say it. About death and life and joy and grief and loss and sex and why we're here and what is truth and is truth even necessary.’

The truth is that you sound insane.

Halloween came early for Sarah Jessica Parker, who attended New York City Ballet’s Fall Gala dressed like a pterodactyl.

Hot potato

I wonder how ex-Democrat congresswoman and wannabe California governor Katie Porter feels that she's now the one in hot water.

Her ex-husband once alleged in divorce courts that she dumped a boiling pot of potatoes on his head, scalding his scalp.

This week, after she ranted like a crazy woman at a journalist and an embarrassing clip emerged - showing her cursing ‘Get out of my f*****g shot!’ at a lowly staffer during a 2021 video conference.

Hey, Katie Potatoes: get out of the f*****g governor's race!
