He basically threatened to nuke and pave the place if Hamas didn’t give up the hostages. So if you consider that a win, then sure.
Hamas was never the ones stopping the deal from happening; that was always Israel, whom Trump told in no uncertain terms to end the war or else. I won’t deny the possibility that Hamas was also pushed along by Trump, but remember that Hamas wanted to give up the hostages in exchange for a ceasefire. That was the whole point of taking hostages back in October 7th, and they accepted the deal when Biden first presented it in May.
Okay, and? I think you’re misunderstanding something here: The problem with Biden and Harris after him was never that they were just Zionists; all American presidents who were contemporary with Israel were Zionists. The problem was that the level and scale of cruelty they accepted and supported in the Gaza war was unprecedented. Even the Zionist American government would normally not allow Israel to commit genocide on such a scale. See: Reagan during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. Tell me he’s worse than Biden when he allows something on that scale; otherwise he’s just a regular US president aiding regular crimes against humanity.

You make it sound like he’s not joined at the hip to Netanyahu. “Don’t finish the genocode, we’ll do it for you” isn’t really ending the war, is it? It looks more like an escalation, as does the mass expulsion he’s proposing, which is, by all accepted definitions, genocide.
In my defense I wrote this before the “let’s flatten Gaza” stuff. I am, however, taking solace in the fact that what Trump is trying to do is geopolitically impossible.

He also approved them moving the violence to the West Bank.
