But now, some of those who praised Trump in both Israel and the United States are trashing the hostage deal he is championing as he reenters office — and in some cases, they’re criticizing Trump himself.
The wariness comes after
reports that Trump and his incoming Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, turned the screws on Netanyahu to get him to say yes to the ceasefire deal. Upon the deal’s announcement,
Trump called it “EPIC.”
Alongside Malka, a user on X named Nioh Berg, who has 185,000 followers and identifies as “Anti Woke,” has spent the past couple of days railing against the incoming president she only recently adulated. On January 9, she
posted,
“We are entering the Age of Trump, and the whole world is feeling it. What a wonderful sight. Optimism is in the air, the energy has shifted.”
Following the announcement of the deal on Wednesday, six days later, her tone was different as
she wrote above a Trump post praising the deal,
“No, Trump. You forced Israel into a terrible deal for 33 hostages, several of whom are dead. The majority will remain kept inside Gaza, their fate up in the air. You did this in order to claim a win on the 20th, and with no other considerations taken. Extremely disappointing.”
She was referring to Monday, which is January 20 and Trump’s inauguration date.
