President Trump is finally taking the fight directly to the drug cartels poisoning our communities. When Secretary of State Marco Rubio calmly explained to shocked reporters why America blew up Venezuelan drug boats, you could hear a pin drop. The liberal media didn’t know what to say when faced with real leadership.
Trump ordered our Navy to destroy not one, not two, but three boats carrying deadly drugs from Venezuela to American shores. Eleven members of the vicious Tren de Aragua gang died in the first strike on September 1st. Three more drug runners were killed in the second attack on September 15th.
For too long, we’ve watched these criminal cartels flood our streets with fentanyl and cocaine while politicians did nothing. Trump sent a crystal clear message to every drug smuggler out there. If you’re bringing poison to kill Americans, we’re coming for you.
The fake news media and liberal critics are crying about these strikes being illegal. Where were they when American families were burying their children who died from cartel drugs? Trump is protecting American lives, and that’s exactly what a real president should do.
Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro is furious because his drug trafficking network is finally facing consequences. This is the same corrupt regime that has been indicted for narco-terrorism. Maduro has a fifty million dollar bounty on his head for good reason.
Secretary Rubio made it perfectly clear that more strikes are coming. Trump isn’t bluffing when he says there’s more where that came from. Our military is now actively hunting down these drug boats before they can reach American waters.
The Trump administration has deployed F-35 fighters to Puerto Rico and increased Navy patrols in the Caribbean. This is what serious border security looks like. We’re not just building walls, we’re taking the fight to the source of the problem.
While Democrats whine about international law, Trump is saving American lives. Every drug boat we destroy means fewer overdoses in American communities. This is what happens when you elect a president who actually loves America more than he fears bad press.
