If you didn’t have “Hillary Clinton agrees with anything President Trump has ever done” on your Bingo card for today, then you’ve got a lot of company.
And yet, that sure seems to be what has happened. Mrs. Clinton has offered some words of praise for President Trump’s 20-point plan for Gaza, calling it “the only game in town.”
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton offered surprising praise for President Donald Trump’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war while appearing in New York City earlier this week.
The unexpected show of support came as Clinton spoke with The New Yorker’s David Remnick at 92NY on Monday, during a conversation in which the former Democratic presidential candidate touched on topics ranging from the Israel-Iran conflict to former President Joe Biden’s decision to run for re-election.
“Unexpected” is the biggest understatement since Napoleon Bonaparte described his loss at Waterloo as a “bit of a setback.” But reality is a harsh mistress, and while there’s probably room for criticism in President Trump’s 20-point plan, it’s still the best option; not the best plan imaginable, but the best plan possible.
Remnick then turned the conversation to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas and pressed Clinton on her longtime support of a two-state solution in the region.
“But if I look at the Israeli polity, they don’t want a two-state solution, certainly not now. And if you look at the Palestinian polity, which is an even more complicated set of geographies and population, a two-state solution is not anywhere near the offing there,” Remnick said.
He went on to ask Clinton if the concept of a two-state solution is still viable within the region, as officials push for peace.
“So other than some constituents — now it’s diminishing — in the West and elsewhere, a two-state solution, which was fought for so hard but began going out the window many years ago, seems impossible,” Remnick added. “Am I wrong?”
“You might be, but you might not be,” Clinton said. “And here’s why. I’m going to say something positive about Trump — so hold on.”
“Trump’s 20-point plan for Gaza is actually a pathway to security for Israel, reconstruction for Gaza, and the possibility of self-determination — however defined — for the Palestinians,” Clinton continued. “There are a lot of people who reject it because Trump did it, but it’s the only game in town. There’s nothing else.”
What’s really interesting here is Hillary Clinton’s tacit admission of runaway Stage V Trump Derangement Syndrome in almost all Democrats, implying that people should be amazed that she’s saying something positive about President Trump. Plenty of conservatives had nice things to say about former President Biden, after all, when he did something good, like withdrawing from the 2024 presidential election after his one disastrous debate performance.
It’s still something of a gobsmacker. If there’s any Democrat political figure who seemed overwhelmed with Trump Derangement Syndrome, it would be the loser of the 2016 presidential contest against the current president, that queen of self-entitlement, Her Imperial Majesty Hillary I, Dowager-Empress of Chappaqua.

Mrs. Clinton never seems to have recovered from that 2016 loss. Is she now regaining a little of any equilibrium she ever had?
This may well be an uncharacteristic lapse into intellectual honesty for Mrs. Clinton. Don’t expect it to last.
