He does not want any long open-ended boots on the ground wars, but he understands the extraordinary power of the American military.
So what is it that you're regretting?
The arrest of Nicolas Maduro?
and the control of the Venezuelan regime by choking out their oil supply?
Or maybe what it is you regret is that Joe Biden was withdrawing support for Israel in the middle of an existential war with Hezbollah and Hamas.
And President Trump came in and stopped the conflict in Gaza and got hostages freed by funding Israel so that it could actually continue to fight for its life.
Or maybe what you regret is that President Trump
bombed an Iranian nuclear facility at Fordow, setting back their nuclear program.
Or maybe what you regret is that President Trump is the first president in any of our lifetimes to take truly seriously the threat of Iran to the extent necessary to actually set them back decades in their pursuit of nuclear weapons, the rebuilding of ballistic missiles, and control of a terror apparatus spreading throughout the Middle East.
Maybe what you preferred was Kamala Harris kowtowing to the mullahs, ensuring them a path to a bomb, alienating allies ranging from Israel to Saudi Arabia to UAE.
Maybe that's what you were looking for.
Or maybe what you were looking for is a Joe Biden inherent weakness policy that created Russian aggression in Ukraine in the first place and created October 7th and the incentive structure for Iran to attack.
Maybe that's what you're looking for.
Maybe what you're looking for is an America.
that is not strong in the world, that is actually weak in the world?
Well, if so, I'm sorry that you came to the wrong place.
I'm sorry that you were deceived because you wished to be deceived because President Trump never said he was in favor of a stronger Russia or a stronger China or of ceding power to either on the global stage.
And in terms of cracking down on domestic enemies of the United States, the DOJ has actually been cracking down on various groups that have been attempting to undermine American national security from abroad, like the Singham Network,
like the George Soros Funding Network.
All of these things are on their back foot because of the Trump administration.
