Donald Trump is a bully. He is a braggart. He is venal. But, as this weekrCOs ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas shows, he is also capable of acts of uniquely brilliant statecraft. The US president is a master
at using the hard power of his office to force changes that make the
world a better place.
Fascinatingly, because it shows how we tend to look at politicians
through a two-dimensional prism, those words could also be applied to another, relatively recent, US president: Lyndon B Johnson. Trump and
LBJ both demonstrate how loathsome people can nonetheless do good things.
We are familiar with the many examples of TrumprCOs appalling behaviour, such as when he was caught on tape talking about kissing women and
grabbing them between their legs: rCyIrCOm automatically attracted to beautiful rCo I just start kissing them. ItrCOs like a magnet. Just kiss. I donrCOt even wait. And when yourCOre a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the p****. You can do anything.rCO
Compared with LBJ, however, Trump is an amateur. To read Robert CarorCOs magisterial multi-volume biography of the former president (the good
news for those of us who have waited years for the final volume is that
Caro has said he has now written over 900 pages of it) is to marvel at
what a monster LBJ was. He was obnoxious, vulgar, self-absorbed, cruel
and insecure. He humiliated his own staff and others for pleasure.
But he was also rCo as is Trump rCo deeply charismatic. Like Trump, he was able to focus on what actually mattered about an issue, disregarding
years of received wisdom and irrelevant constraints. And like Trump, he
was a brilliant communicator who had people hanging on his every word. (Unlike Trump, LBJ also had an exceptional intellect, and could grasp
the important minutiae of policy in an instant.)
Meetings for LBJ were power plays. He would fart, burp, pick his nose
and scratch his crotch. He invaded peoplerCOs personal space as a tactic
to overpower them. Ben Bradlee, the former editor of the Washington
Post, described how LBJ groped its owner Katharine Graham and would rCybumprCO up against the breasts of female Washington Post writers. He would keep the door to his toilet open as he relieved himself so he
could be seen. Arthur Goldschmidt, a United Nations official, was in the Oval Office when LBJ walked into the toilet, rCytook a crap, then shaved
and showered, all the while continuing his conversation as though what
he was doing was the most normal thing in the world.rCO
LBJ was notorious for using aphorisms such as rCystraight as an Indian shitsrCO. He once described US economic policy as rCythe worst thing thatrCOs
happened to this country since pantyhose ruined finger-fucking.rCO He
would check on the looks of potential female appointees and would
comment if female White House employees gained any weight. He repeatedly used the N word, describing to the manual labour of his youth as rCynrCo-r work.rCO In a 1964 telephone conversation about his prospects of winning Texas in the presidential race, he said: rCyI think I can take every
Mexican in the state and every nrCo-r in the state.rCO (He had his Oval Office calls and meetings secretly taped, like his successor, Richard Nixon.) In a 1967 meeting in the Oval Office about possible black
candidates for the Supreme Court, Johnson said: rCyWhen I appoint a nrCo-r to the bench, I want everyone to know herCOs a nrCo-r.rCO When there was rioting by blacks in Los Angeles in 1965, Johnson said he worried that, rCyNegroes will end up pissing in the aisles of the Senate.rCO
And yet LBJ was one of the great US presidents, whose time as Senate Majority Leader prepared him brilliantly for ensuring that his massive legislative agenda for civil rights, healthcare and welfare passed. Many
of his programmes remain in effect today. Paradoxically, given his
personal behaviour, his civil and voting rights legislation changed the
US. He got the Civil Rights Act through Congress almost single handedly,
at the cost of his own political power and the support of many of his political friends.
LBJ was, in other words, a shit who used his obnoxiousness for good ends.
Trump isnrCOt in the same league as LBJ, either as a shit or as a
politician (at least yet). But like his predecessor, the very personal qualities which make him an unpleasant man give him an ability to change
the world for the better. The Abraham Accords would not have happened without Trump being Trump. Nor would any other president have simply
ripped up the appalling JCPOA, the Obama nuclear deal with Iran.
And now we have the Gaza deal rCo or more accurately, TrumprCOs Gaza deal. You might not like Trump, but the same qualities that make him so unpleasant, are changing the world for the better.

raped Jewish women at a kibbutz, murdered 1,200 people and burned homes,
and took 251 hostages at a music festival and starved them slowly inside
a tunnel until there were only 28 hostages were left alive.
United Nations Report:--
A March 2024 report led by Pramila Patten, the UN's Special
Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict, concluded there were >"reasonable grounds to believe" that sexual violence occurred in
multiple locations during the attacks. This included reports of rape

Donald Trump is a bully. He is a braggart. He is venal. But, as this weekrCOs ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas shows, he is also capable of acts of uniquely brilliant statecraft. The US president is a master
at using the hard power of his office to force changes that make the
world a better place.
Fascinatingly, because it shows how we tend to look at politicians
through a two-dimensional prism, those words could also be applied to another, relatively recent, US president: Lyndon B Johnson. Trump and
LBJ both demonstrate how loathsome people can nonetheless do good things.
We are familiar with the many examples of TrumprCOs appalling behaviour, such as when he was caught on tape talking about kissing women and
grabbing them between their legs: rCyIrCOm automatically attracted to beautiful rCo I just start kissing them. ItrCOs like a magnet. Just kiss. I donrCOt even wait. And when yourCOre a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the p****. You can do anything.rCO
Compared with LBJ, however, Trump is an amateur. To read Robert CarorCOs magisterial multi-volume biography of the former president (the good
news for those of us who have waited years for the final volume is that
Caro has said he has now written over 900 pages of it) is to marvel at
what a monster LBJ was. He was obnoxious, vulgar, self-absorbed, cruel
and insecure. He humiliated his own staff and others for pleasure.
But he was also rCo as is Trump rCo deeply charismatic. Like Trump, he was able to focus on what actually mattered about an issue, disregarding
years of received wisdom and irrelevant constraints. And like Trump, he
was a brilliant communicator who had people hanging on his every word. (Unlike Trump, LBJ also had an exceptional intellect, and could grasp
the important minutiae of policy in an instant.)
Meetings for LBJ were power plays. He would fart, burp, pick his nose
and scratch his crotch. He invaded peoplerCOs personal space as a tactic
to overpower them. Ben Bradlee, the former editor of the Washington
Post, described how LBJ groped its owner Katharine Graham and would rCybumprCO up against the breasts of female Washington Post writers. He would keep the door to his toilet open as he relieved himself so he
could be seen. Arthur Goldschmidt, a United Nations official, was in the Oval Office when LBJ walked into the toilet, rCytook a crap, then shaved
and showered, all the while continuing his conversation as though what
he was doing was the most normal thing in the world.rCO
LBJ was notorious for using aphorisms such as rCystraight as an Indian shitsrCO. He once described US economic policy as rCythe worst thing thatrCOs

And yet LBJ was one of the great US presidents, whose time as Senate Majority Leader prepared him brilliantly for ensuring that his massive legislative agenda for civil rights, healthcare and welfare passed. Many
of his programmes remain in effect today. Paradoxically, given his
personal behaviour, his civil and voting rights legislation changed the
US. He got the Civil Rights Act through Congress almost single handedly,
