BIG PICTURE; Trump Has Been Check-Mating China. Examples? Panama Canal, Venezuela, Iran...
Posted on 4/13/26 at 3:22 pm

1) When President Trump took office in January of 2025, China controlled the Panama Canal. As of early 2026 that is no longer the case. Why? President Trump provided Panama with the backbone to break free of illegal and unconstitutional contracts which had been forced upon them by China.
Did this happen on Brandon's watch? NO. Would it have happened if Kamala Harris had been installed as President? NO.
2) With Maduro at the helm, China and other countries were using Venezuela as a hub for various and assundry nefarious activities. Not to mention China's obvious interest in Venezuela's oil reserves. President Trump intervenes with a quick and clean military strike, and now Delcy Rodriguez is 100X more "America-friendly" than Maduro ever even thought of being.
3) Iran is about a lot of things, but China's unhealthy relationship with that country has always been a factor. And again, China's interest in Iran's oil supply is a not an insignificant factor.
To the anti-Trump faction here, I would like to invite you to think BIG PICTURE. Stop overreacting to everything you hear and try to understand that much of this is inter-connected. America does not live in a world where we can remain indifferent to the dynamics of what is happening beyond our borders.

What does this even mean? Are we at war with them? Do you think it’s good if we cut off their energy supply?

Trump has single handily saved this country for generations to come. I am grateful to be living in a time when we have him as president. It truly is a Golden Age in America.

Yes, we are. It's just not a kinetic war. And it has been being waged pretty much unilaterally by China until now.

They can't, they are way too stupid. They get distracted by the DJT magic trick EVERY SINGLE TIME.
It would be hilarious if it wasn't the same trick that they have been falling for the last 10 years. It's actually pathetic.

Do you seriously have no idea how much trouble China has caused, and is continuing to cause, for America? Surely you know better than that.
And, yes, effectively America is in a war with China, although not of our making. Not all wars are of the conventional type.
Europe has been illegally invaded and has virtually collapsed over the past 20 years. Was a single shot ever fired?

again.....questioning things and not being 100% on board with everything does not make someone anti Trump
Most of you also always seem to default to something larger being at play (1000000D chess) but how often have you seen the payoff from that?

I think this conflict could be a BRICS chess move. Trump could have saved the petro Dollar.

I listed two examples in the OP. 1) The situation with the Panama Canal, and 2) Venezuela.
I won't put Iran in that category yet because it's still playing out.

The man did say back in the 80's he would only run for President if things were totally fricked.
Well, things were totally fricked for a while leading up to 16. He is steadily unfricking them in the most America First Way possible. Anyone who doesn't see how laser focused his foreign policy is doesn't understand the game.
He is literally crippling China economically to bring all that money back to America to help the middle class. That is the end game. frick Bush, frick Clinton, hell, frick Nixon. All those assholes sold us out for money. Anyone remember White Water? The Chinese had their hooks DEEP into the Clinton presidency. Mark Middleton anyone? Ari Gold, umm, I mean Ari Emmanuel?
Cant run factories without fuel. Cant run factories when your workforce is pissed you aren't opening the doors or they cant get laid. if Trump keeps this up, I legit see a Chinese peasant class uprising happening in the next 5 years or sooner. And, guess what? If their tanks cant run because they have no gas, its going to be problematic for Winnie the Poo and the ruling class over there.
And Europe? lol. Trump told them to go to hell and now they are getting ready to say they are looking forward to the journey. That is God Level diplomacy as Churchill pointed out so long ago.

KCT..... I agree 100% and try to post content that demonstrates this fact.... but between the bots, TDS idiots, and Marxist trolls..... it's discouraging.
That's ok... the truth will win out and Trump will continue to MAGA!!!

BRICS was never a serious threat to the American dollar. With Trump rearranging the entire global order, even less so now.

Theres a distinct possibility that the highest IQ posters on Poli Board cant keep up with ALL THIS WINNING and that the MAGA plan truster retards are actually right about this.
Id peg that possibility at 0.0001%

Do you believe our country was better off with Obama and Biden?
I sure as hell don’t.
