Trump is securing National Security choke points

Look at what he’s doing
- wrestled Panama Canal away from China
- Freed Venezuela from Maduro and now have control of 2/3rd of their oil reserves.. not to mention their other critical minerals, fertilizer and gold
- created Pax Sillica to create a critical mineral alliance
- we basically control Iraq’s oil and now control all oil coming out of the strait of Hormuz
- Greenland is all about the resources they have and China/Russia pathway
- used tariffs to force pharma to rebuild in America as a lesson from COVID
- used tariffs to push domestic production in semiconductors, steel, aluminum, autos, shipbuilding and other critical minerals
- and beyond this has used his influence to flip almost every government in central and s America to conservative leaning
There’s some tradeoffs to all of this, but at minimum going into the future we won’t have countries that hold leverage over us.. rather we will hold leverage on others.

The biggest choke point in the world is Hormuz and we don’t control that. Yeah we’ve blockaded Iran’s oil exports but everyone else is struggling to get their oil out. A Kuwaiti oil tanker was struck just a day or two ago. The war in Iran has been a failure so far.

I am seeing reports that Trump has been directing an effort to create a second route through the Strait of Hormuz (off the northern tip of Oman) completely bypassing the Iranian terrorists.
Supposedly its been in the works for the last few months.

The pump is being primed. The future is bright.
Trump is laying a foundation for a prosperous America. If we would just be patient and put up with the rough patch for a bit longer it will happen.
My fear is that idiots will get sucked in by the false promises of the DSA that will derail the coming prosperity.

It’s crazy that we get so many drugs from India
Imagine taking medicine for diarrhea that gives you diarrhea because the indians used their feet to stir the medicine pot

Add in this one....

President Donald Trump secured bilateral agreements with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Rwanda to grant U.S. companies access to critical and rare earth minerals. This arrangement was tied to a U.S.-brokered peace accord between the two African nations

It’s more than just one. And that “spitball” made the ship dead in the water. How many ships were hit transiting the strait prior to the war? We simply aren’t capable or aren’t willing to secure the strait.
Oh, and the best estimates for the amount of oil transiting the strait currently is 7-10 million per day and that’s according to the US government. Which of course has a vested interest in higher numbers. Most third party estimates have it at 5-7 million bpd.

Yah if you combine all of this, with the tax policy.. specifically the expensing, and the expanded domestic energy (including nuclear), and leading on AI…. He’s setting the stage for a new Industrial Revolution.

THE most active POTUS of all time - especially when you consider the magnitude and intensity of the opposition to his every move - even his physical being, considering all the assassination attempts and constant editorial attack, combined with the constant political dirty tricks being launched at him.
Most remarkable thing I've ever seen, or even heard of in this hemisphere.
He will have to be considered the most influential POTUS of the past 200 years.

Will we continue his legacy, righting the ship for another 250... Or will we be taken backward, toward self-destruction, following Britain and Rome before us?
We need the courageous to step up... now more than ever.

He will never be judged fairly, but if you actually list out all the shite he’s done and compare it to like Obama… it’s a joke. Most influential president since FDR.. and depending on how next 2.5 years go, I think he’s firmly a top 10 president and could sneak closer to top 5… especially if JD or Marco win in 28 and continue these policies to truly see their benefits flourish

Nothing transits the Straits of Hormuz without our knowledge and consent. If they disagree they get disabled because we're nice enough not to put them on the bottom. The one's we move through at night all make it unharmed. Sometimes some dumb goat enjoyer on the shore with a drone will sneak up on the coast, get out of his toyota and launch at whatever he can see. He might hit something, he might not.
You think that dude is controlling it and we aren't.
You are a moron.

This is factually incorrect.

We're not playing to the outliers here so that your narrative works.
