What are world leaders rejecting from Trump?
Furious world leaders are publicly rejecting Donald Trump's attempt to make them join yet another coalition to open up the Strait of Hormuz. If this sounds like deja vu, well, this is actually a new pitch that Donald Trump is making. He said that he's creating a new group that is being called the maritime freedom construct. and he is begging american allies or i should say former american allies can you please join the maritime freedom construct to help us open up the strait of hormuz and all these other countries are saying did you just rename the thing that we already told you that we are not joining because this is not europe's war this is not asia's war This is your disastrous, catastrophic war, Donald, with Netanyahu.
And no, we're not joining this. And in fact, furious world leaders are now turning to Canada and saying, we're going to make Canada officially the leader of the free world and make you the center of a new defense lending organization. So while Donald Trump is saying, can you all join the maritime freedom construct? Furious world leaders that are associated with NATO are saying, no, but we're going to make Canada the head of a new entity that's going to reliably lend money because, Donald, we don't trust you, but we trust Prime Minister Carney, the heroic former central banker who's now leading the free world. So get a load of this headline. U.S.
What is the Maritime Freedom Construct proposed by Trump?
seeks new coalition to get ships moving again in Hormuz, the Wall Street Journal reports. And so now the United States is asking other countries, to join a new international coalition that would enable ships to navigate the Strait of Hormuz after traffic through the waterway stalled. Stalled would be an understatement, okay? The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Donald Trump is pitching the Maritime Freedom Construct to share information, coordinate diplomatically, and help enforce sanctions. Can you help me donald trump is begging or at least the state department is while donald trump is at the same time making social media posts like this the united states is studying and reviewing the possible reduction of troops in germany with a determination to be made over the next short period of time thank you for your attention to this matter donald j trump so while you're begging countries
like Germany and others in the European Union, Japan and elsewhere, to join your new group, Donald, you are saying that you want to screw over the German alliance, which actually helps the United States. So now Donald Trump ordered the Defense Department and State Department that's begging Germany for help. to study and review a possible reduction of troops in Germany. It's what Donald Trump is now focused on. And as Congressman from Nebraska, Don Bacon, who was served in the military at a top leadership position, he goes, you know, these continue to, he's a Republican. He goes, the continued attacks on NATO allies are counterproductive. The comments hurt Americans. I commanded the huge Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany.
The two big airfields in Germany give us, the United States, great access in three continents. We're shooting ourselves in our own foot. But Don, which you should realize Don Bacon, that is, Donald Trump, he thought it was a brilliant idea in Atlantic City to open up three casinos saddled with massive debt right next to each other. And most people in the casino business were saying, but Donald, your three casinos are going to cannibalize it. You're going to go bankrupt. And Donald Trump's like, no, it's going to be so much gold that we're going to get Michael Jackson and we're going to make it so big, the Taj Mahal, the this, the that. You've never seen anything so big. bankrupt, bankrupt, bankrupt.
And it's exactly what Donald Trump is doing to the United States. And it's exactly what Donald Trump's doing with this naval blockade in the Persian Gulf. Because Trump's plan is, how am I going to open up the Strait of Hormuz? Okay. Well, it's closed, so I'm going to close it even more with another blockade of an existing blockade.
