JERUSALEM—Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was one of the first world leaders to congratulate former President Donald Trump on his stunning political comeback victory on Wednesday.
Netanyahu, who is leading a seven-front existential war against Iran's regime and its proxies, wrote on X, "Dear Donald and Melania Trump, Congratulations on history's greatest comeback! Your historic return to the White House offers a new beginning for America and a powerful recommitment to the great alliance between Israel and America. This is a huge victory! In true friendship, yours, Benjamin and Sara Netanyahu."
Fox News projected Trump as the winner of the presidential election in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
An array of world leaders also chimed in to congratulate Trump on X. French President Emmanuel Macron said on X, "Congratulations, President @realDonaldTrump . Ready to work together as we did for four years. With your convictions and mine. With respect and ambition. For more peace and prosperity."
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban wrote,"The biggest comeback in US political history! Congratulations to President @realDonaldTrump on his enormous win. A much needed victory for the World!"
Orban, like Trump, is a proponent of strict border control.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer stressed that the U.S. and the United Kingdom are the "closest of allies" and noted that the "US-UK special relationship will continue to prosper on both sides of the Atlantic for years to come." He said "Congratulations President-elect @realDonaldTrump on your historic election victory. I look forward to working with you in the years ahead."
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who like Netanyahu, is leading his country in an existential war, stated on X, "Congratulations to @realDonaldTrump on his impressive election victory! I recall our great meeting with President Trump back in September, when we discussed in detail the Ukraine-U.S. strategic partnership, the Victory Plan, and ways to put an end to Russian aggression against Ukraine."
He added "I appreciate President Trump's commitment to the 'peace through strength' approach in global affairs. This is exactly the principle that can practically bring just peace in Ukraine closer. I am hopeful that we will put it into action together. We look forward to an era of a strong United States of America under President Trump's decisive leadership. We rely on continued strong bipartisan support for Ukraine in the United States."
Zelenskyy continued, "We are interested in developing mutually beneficial political and economic cooperation that will benefit both of our nations."
The Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, also took to X to give his warm regards to Trump. The leader of the world's most populous nation stated, "Heartiest congratulations my friend@realDonaldTrump on your historic election victory. As you build on the successes of your previous term, I look forward to renewing our collaboration to further strengthen the India-US Comprehensive Global and Strategic Partnership. Together, let's work for the betterment of our people and to promote global peace, stability and prosperity."
El Salvador President Nayib Bukele also congratulated Trump on X, stating, "Congratulations to the President-Elect of the United States of America … May God bless and guide you."
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz praised Trump on X noting, "I congratulate @realDonaldTrump on his election as US President. For a long time, Germany and the US have been working together successfully promoting prosperity and freedom on both sides of the Atlantic. We will continue to do so for the wellbeing of our citizens."
"Congratulations to President Donald Trump on his election victory. Australians and Americans are great friends and true allies. Working together, we can ensure the partnership between our nations and peoples remains strong into the future," wrote Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

He is back and America is back!
Wonder how many heads on the hard core liberal left are imploding right now, figuratively speaking of course?
Harris couldn't even speak last night.
Last night? Are implying she had the ability before?
She has to be humiliated. They did everything for her, including spending a billion dollars.
All that money spent, all that pandering, all that rhetoric and the people saw through it all.
Their "unifying efforts" have backfired on them. The nation become unified and told them to go away.
Now they will cry and whine about it with renewed vigor.
Bad Bunny wasn’t enough.
Many.
I think the msm is now dead.
They lied and now they'll never be trusted again.
I am so proud of the American people.
They did that back in the 2016 election cycle. For me their credibility and integrity was gone then. They've devolved into mere bloggers / vloggers pushing opinion.
Their bias was always obvious, but Trump pushed them to the extreme.
Another American institution destroyed by the radical left.
I think joy Reid being shocked that Harris lost despite having an endorsement from queen Latifah will be my enduring memory of election coverage. Im glad i saw it live.
Everything they touch turns to shit.
Hopefully this will mark the end of where Obama had led the country.
Same here. That and Joyless saying Harris ran the perfect campaign because of all the celebrities endorsing her. How could she lose with the swifties wanting her? LOL
Boys in girl sports and everyone gets their own pronoun sure didn't help.
They seemed to figure out what a woman was for the election.
Not joking / not trying to use my name as pun, but R U 4-REAL?!?!?! Did that really happen? Seriously?!?! Joy Reid actually said that. An endorsement by the "Equalizer" was going to make a difference?
Google Search here I come...
Interesting isn't it? Another thing that showed the dems were out of touch with what the majority of people wanted.
Again.................or still. Pick one
I'm going with the latter.
Were out of touch? They've always and still are out of touch with the people.
Thanks. I imagined it would be a bit more "QUEEN LATIFAH" meltdownish. But yeah get your point. Oh, and aren't most Swifties not even old enough to vote? And the Beehive, don't get me started on those folks. I think the last time celebs helped elect a President was who, JFK? And even then they needed a good 'ol boy Southern, some Cosa Nostra influence and a huge daddy war-chest!
But man, what the heck happened to Reid?!?! I know I've lost some hair thickness the last few years due to work, being a sole caregiver to Dementia parent but DAMN, her hair is gone, receding from what I remember. The things you miss when you don't have satellite and only stream.
I'm def not a Swiftie or base my vote on what singer, actor, celeb votes for. I can't stand watching KC games she attends. I'm waiting for them to change the name to the KC Swifts...and for her to dump Kelce and make 2 albums worth of songs about it.
She's not as sweet and innocent as folks try to make her out to be. I think Trump gets advice from her on how to hold a grudge and be vindictive.
That's what I said?
"Even a dog can shake hands" - and all those leaders want to be his pal.
Right now, the leader of Iran is wondering when the missile comes for him.
N. Korea is going to be quiet now.
Gonna be a subdued day on N. Talkers, too.
Many will be out liking their wounds. Give them time, they have to regroup and get the latest hoax out there.
I'm thinking of notifying missing persons.
Not only will our enemies be far more cautious, but our military will be rebuilt.
"Despite robust efforts and the introduction of several pilot programs in Fiscal Year (FY) 2023, the U.S. Navy missed each of its recruitment goals.
The Navy announced on Tuesday that they fell short by 7,464 for enlisted sailors, with only 30,236 enlistments of its 37,700 target enlistments."
Navy 7,000 sailors short of recruitment goals
As a start the Navy may adopt a healthy heterosexual young man's dream set to the Village People's song as a recruitment video:
The times are a changing!
I look to see enlistments rising over the next 4 years now the military honor can be restored.
Yep. They need to get back to the basics. Worry more about mission readiness and less about having Tampons in the men’s head.
I couldn't agree more.
I heard Mark Milley said in a interview a while back that he was worried Trump would go after him if he got elected.
I'd like that honor.
I'd want to boot him for treason.
Probably more than a modicum of projection in that statement. Wonder what he knows about Biden’s DOJ and their reindeer games?
Just another high ranking General “cashing in.” Nothing more.
Yep. Just another high ranking flag officer along with Austin who let his thirst for power and prestige override the honor and ethics that go with the uniform. With them gone, hopefully they will be replaced by those with the right qualities who won't play the political games Milley and Austin have.
What honor and ethics did he override?
This four star general served to 44 years. His father and mother served in WW II.
Do you want to compare his record with Trump’s?
There are several but the two that come to mind are his participation in the Afghanistan evacuation debacle. He knew what Biden was doing and went along with it. The other is his pushing DEI and woke ideology onto a military that did not need it and are a detriment to military morale and efficiency.
Just because he served 44 years doen not mean that was 44 years of outstanding service. I've known plenty of very capable officers that reach flag rank then sit back and homestead until retirement. I'm sure you saw it in the Army as well.
And no I am not comparing his record to Trump's.
thats bold talk from a Trump supporter. You guys are a trip.
No flag rank officers were held accountable for the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle. Heads should have rolled.
This can not be debated.
Milley, Trump’s selected CJCS, wasn’t the Combatant Commander, GEN Frank McKenzie was.
Milley, McKenzie and numerous Defense Department officials denied during congressional testimonies that Biden's claim that his decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan was because of advice from senior US military leaders and stated that they had in fact advised him to keep some troops in Afghanistan.
I work with Army senior leaders, some that voted for Trump who also have kids at the academy, they don’t know what this little culture war really entailed. If you want money for your budget, it’s smart to throw Congress a bone.
Indeed, like LTG Flynn, but not with Milley.
What was their role in the debacle, following the orders from the Commander in Chief?
Senior White House and State Department officials looked the other way during the Taliban’s steady advance on Afghanistan’s capital. They resisted efforts by our military leaders to prepare the evacuation of embassy personnel and Afghan allies weeks before Kabul’s fall. This caused the risk to our troops ordered to carry out the withdrawal.
What was their role? Who was responsible for the troops that died? Are you trying to intimate that the withdrawal was well planned and executed?
Not sure of your highest rank or MOS but I suspect you know damn well who is ultimately responsible for those troops well being and not blindly following orders that may be unnecessarily unsound or dangerous.
C’mon man! Turn in your brass before following such orders.
No, not at all. Maybe you’ve confused the State Department with our military. That summer, the military advised keeping 2,500 troops as a minimum until State finished the evacuation. Biden cut it to 650.
What should the commanders have done at this point, retire on the spot?
Please feel free to note when I have ever stated I was a Trump supporter. Go ahead, I'll wait.
Has a very different meaning for different people.
If accountability is considered …… perhaps. The fact that no high brass was held accountable, in any significant sense, is very egregious imo.
Not sure what positive core values this lack of action represents. Can’t think of one.
Is your issue, the attack at Abbey Gate or the delayed and poorly planned and executed neo evacuation that led to Abbey Gate?
My issue has been clearly stated. Not sure where the confusion is.
Seems like the dictators of the world are all offering Trump a wholehearted congratulations. Democracies of the world seem to be seem more insincere in their congratulations.
Yep, those dictators in France and Germany sure are …….
You see all that?
Congrats for showing up this morning.
Which one of these are "dictators"?
Which are sincere and how do you know they are sincere. Please be specific.
Don't deflect. If you can't answer my question just say to.
Not deflecting, the sincere ones are the dictators.
Congratulations...said through Albos (Anthony Albanese) gritted teeth..must really grate when not genuinely said..
No love lost between him and Trumpy..and even Rudd the dud Australia's ex PM and now Australia's Ambassador in the US can't stand Trump..
Rudd called Trump nuts, the most destructive President in history and a traitor to the West..
Rudd could be without a job shortly..
Only one that comes close to fitting the word dictator on the list would be Hungarian Prime Minster Victor Orban.
Did Maddow cry again? I remember her classic melt down in '16
The markets are smiling ….. Dow up 1300+ last I looked
Yup, we are gonna drill, baby, drill!
And not just here............
Last night she was anticipating days before we would know the results.
It cracks me up. Wayne county was playing their late vote count gambit and now it doesn’t matter. Hilarious!
Same thing in Fulton County. There was a pause in counting because of unsubstantiated bomb threats!
Yep. Florida can count 10 million votes by 10 PM but Michigan can’t count half that by the next day. FUBAR
It is truly amazing. By 11:PM most of the country was called, except for the battleground states.
Why is that?
Maybe closer margins and late voting in the West.
In my state, MA, the election was called with only 1% of the vote in.
Skulduggery
Do you even need a vote count to call MA?
I was doing top of the hour check-ins from 7 to 9cst last night. He had the such a lead on electoral votes there was no need to watch even further. GOP voters got out WAY early and voted. Hell, IN, KY, TN, AL, FL, VA, TX, SC were called at 7pm. Didn't really call GA but areas that mattered to Trump, those small counties on GA borders to TN, AL, SC and FL, were showing red. And Harris only had a few WAY up the east coast that didn't matter.
What surprised me this morning was the entire map was friggin' red. It didn't hit me at first, but once I got a sip of coffee it did; that joker cleared the board and won the popular vote too!!. At least Clinton won the popular vote. Trump picked up votes from folks no one bet on, and it's not just disdain for Harris, Biden, democrats, non-GOPpers.
Say what you want but this country is not ready for a female POTUS, especially non-white and can stand toe-toe.
People said that about Obama as a black man but ….. he won.
Gender had little to do with Harris’s loss. Her past record, lack of a primary win, rampant flip flopping and milquetoast campaign performance was responsible.
No doubt.
It's also being reported that each world leader demanded a full investigation to the murder of peanut the squirrel.
Obviously for good or bad, America voted early and heavily red. From beginning GOP answered the call and voted early, with their candidate jumping out on electoral and collecting it and the popular vote overwhelmingly. And gaining the Senate and most likely house. With everything locked, the GOP now has to put up for their promises. From the supposed well-educated and knowledgeable men and women in their over-priced homes and cars w/ un-doc'd nannies & landscapers to the Archie Bunkers, Jethros, Bud-Lighters and their sister-cousin-wives and Maury-Springer-Wilko ladies who got off their keysters and voted, all expect it payback.
Having said that, I do have a few questions for individuals here:
Not poking the bear and not trying to offend anyone, but at same time, poking the bear. Really looking for some folks' thoughts on the above as these changes will effect EVERYONE, not just "other" folks. Granted, I haven't finished reading Project 2025, but am anticipating it and its revisions. And from what I've read, it's going to be, interesting to say the least.
