President Trump just showed the world what real leadership looks like. On September 1st, our Navy took out a Venezuelan drug boat carrying 11 cartel members heading straight for America. While other politicians talk, Trump acts to protect our borders.
The boat was packed with Tren de Aragua gang members, one of the most violent cartels terrorizing our communities. These are the same thugs flooding our cities with deadly drugs and turning our neighborhoods into war zones. Trump sent them a clear message they will never forget.
Venezuela’s dictator Maduro is now crying about it, calling the video fake. Of course he is upset – we just destroyed one of his money-making operations. Maduro has been using his country as a launching pad for drugs and criminals targeting America for years.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth promised more strikes are coming if Venezuela keeps poisoning our people. This is exactly what Americans voted for when they put Trump back in the White House. We want a president who fights back against the cartels destroying our communities.
Some weak politicians are already complaining about Trump being too tough. They would rather let drug dealers sail right up to our shores than hurt anyone’s feelings. That kind of thinking is exactly why we had a border crisis in the first place.
The liberal media is questioning whether this was legal under international law. Since when do we need permission from foreign countries to stop drug dealers from attacking America. Our military exists to protect Americans, not to follow rules written by our enemies.
Trump doubled the bounty on Maduro to 50 million dollars because this dictator is running a criminal empire. Maduro is mobilizing millions of his people against us, but he picked the wrong fight. America under Trump will never back down to tin-pot dictators.
This strike proves Trump means business about stopping the drug crisis killing our kids. While Democrats spent four years letting cartels run wild, Trump is back to cleaning up their mess. America is strong again and our enemies know it.
