The dealmaking myth needs to stop being treated as fact, and you have a responsibility to say so publicly. Trump claimed he single-handedly resolved the Israel-Hamas conflict. Hamas has not disarmed, hostilities continue, and there are zero enforceable guarantees. That is not diplomacy. That is a press release dressed up as statecraft.
The domestic record is just as hollow. The Save America Act — his own signature priority — couldn't pass a GOP-dominated Congress. Senate leaders had to strip it down to a voter ID alternative, and even that failed on the floor. A president who can't move his own party's votes isn't a master negotiator. He's someone who mistakes public threats for political leverage.
The ghost of this myth traces back to *The Art of the Deal*, which Tony Schwartz — the book's actual author — has acknowledged created a fictional character of strategic genius. That fiction is now shaping real foreign policy decisions with real consequences. I need you to stop treating fabricated victories as legitimate achievements and start demanding accountability for the crises left unaddressed.
