A former Democrat Representative from Florida has made headlines by endorsing none other than Donald Trump for President, a development that could send shockwaves through the political establishment. Peter Deutsch, who served his six terms in the U.S. House from 1993 to 2005, has publicly declared his support for Trump, primarily out of concern for Israel’s security—a refreshing change from the typical party line that seems more interested in appeasing radical elements.
During a conference call organized by the Trump campaign, Deutsch expressed his unease with the current administration under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, claiming their policies have only served to empower Iran. One might wonder if the current President and Vice President are actually interested in stabilizing the Middle East or if they’re just stuck in a perpetual state of appeasement that would make Neville Chamberlain proud.

As Monday marked the anniversary of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, the assault in which Hamas launched over 4,300 rockets into Israel—arguably one of the darkest days in Israeli history—Deutsch’s endorsement comes at a time when the stakes have never been higher. The showdown with Iran is no laughing matter, especially when you consider that they have made it abundantly clear that both Israel and the United States are on their hit list. Meanwhile, the Biden administration seems to be too preoccupied with woke policies to take a firm stance against our enemies.
In his endorsement, Deutsch emphasized the importance of world peace, implying that Trump’s track record provides a clearer path to security for both Israel and the United States. Interestingly, someone from the left is acknowledging that the stakes extend beyond the Middle East and into American homeland security—perhaps an awakening moment after the last few years of Democratic blunders. The question remains: why didn’t this epiphany come sooner for Deutsch?
As the ongoing war in Gaza escalates into a regional crisis, with escalating casualties and military actions impacting not just Israel but also Lebanon, it is evident that a strong leader is sorely needed. While the Biden administration appears to be fumbling its way through this complex issue, Trump’s endorsement from someone like Deutsch proves that the call for robust leadership resonates across party lines. In a landscape riddled with confusion and indecision, one thing remains clear: America deserves a president who puts national security above all else. And according to Deutsch, that president is Donald Trump.
