Commentary Donald J. Trump Posts From Truth Social
Donald J. Trump Truth Social 04:05.26 12:08 AM EST FROM PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP WE GOT HIM! My fellow Americans, over the past several hours, the United States Military pulled off one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in U.S. History, for one of our incredible Crew Member Officers, who also happens to be a highly respected Colonel, and who I am thrilled to let you know is now SAFE and SOUND! This brave Warrior was behind enemy lines in the treacherous mountains of Iran, being hunted down by our enemies, who were getting closer and closer by the hour, but was never truly alone because his Commander in Chief, Secretary of War, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and fellow Warfighters were monitoring his location 24 hours a day, and diligently planning for his rescue. At my direction, the U.S. Military sent dozens of aircraft, armed with the most lethal weapons in the World, to retrieve him. He sustained injuries, but he will be just fine. This miraculous Search and Rescue Operation comes in addition to a successful rescue of another brave Pilot, yesterday, which we did not confirm, because we did not want to jeopardize our second rescue operation. This is the first time in military memory that two U.S. Pilots have been rescued, separately, deep in Enemy Territory. WE WILL NEVER LEAVE AN AMERICAN WARFIGHTER BEHIND! The fact that we were able to pull off both of these operations, without a SINGLE American killed, or even wounded, just proves once again, that we have achieved overwhelming Air Dominance and Superiority over the Iranian skies. This is a moment that ALL Americans, Republican, Democrat, and everyone else, should be proud of and united around. We truly have the best, most professional, and lethal Military in the History of the World. GOD BLESS AMERICA, GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS, AND HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!

The grandniece of slain Iranian terror mastermind Gen. Qasem Soleimani lived a lavish life in the USA whilst her mother promoted the Iranian Regime. Sarinasadat Hosseiny, 25, and her mother, Hamideh Soleimani Afshar, were arrested after the State Department terminated their permanent resident status and had their green cards revoked due to her ties the terrorist Iranian regime.

@monon_aletheia @nicksortor I know the exact reports you are referring to - his information is lagged. Al Jazeera has confirmed the exfil and major networks are not running it

@ExigentCritic @nicksortor They keep changing. According to them most recently, he is recovered, but they are still trying to successfully exfil and are still not clear.

@unsafebl0ck @DustinMock8 @dumbestic @DrJStrategy Oh and PS, the AVERAGE gas prices are: Biden - $3.46 Trump (Term 1) - $2.48 Trump (Term 2) - $3.11 Even when you try to shift the goalpost data to favorable conditions, Bidens' gas was more expensive. Dang buddy.

It’s strange to claim that the price was “literally lower than it was under Biden”, but then leave out you only mean ~4 months out of 48 month presidency. Your claim that the strait closure won’t have long term impact on our prices is much too early to assert. Furthermore implying that a global energy crisis won’t have second order effects on us back home is a very egregious claim. ASEAN is a larger trading partner than China and they collectively are going to be seriously impacted.

James E. Thorne@DrJStrategy·
Food for thought. Trump, Hormuz and the End of the Free Ride For half a century, Western strategists have known that the Strait of Hormuz is the acute point where energy, sea power and political will intersect. That knowledge is not in dispute. What is new in this war with Iran is that the United States, under Donald Trump, has chosen not to rush to “solve” the problem. In Hegelian terms, he is refusing an easy synthesis in order to force the underlying contradiction to the surface. The old thesis was simple: the US guarantees open sea lanes in the Gulf, and everyone else structures their economies and politics around that free insurance. Europe and the UK embraced ambitious green policies, ran down hard‑power capabilities and lectured Washington on multilateral virtue, secure in the assumption that American carriers would always appear off Hormuz. The political class behaved as if the American security guarantee were a law of nature, not a contingent choice. Their conduct today is closer to Chamberlain than Churchill: temporising, issuing statements, hoping the storm will pass without a fundamental reordering of their responsibilities. Trump’s antithesis is to withhold the automatic guarantee at the moment of maximum stress. Militarily, the US can break Iran’s residual ability to contest the Strait; that is not the binding constraint. The point is to delay that act. By allowing a closure or semi‑closure to bite, Trump ensures that the immediate pain is concentrated in exactly the jurisdictions that have most conspicuously free‑ridden on US power: the EU and the UK. Their industries, consumers and energy‑transition assumptions are exposed. In that context, his reported blunt message to European and British leaders, you need the oil out of the Strait more than we do; why don’t you go and take it? Is not a throwaway line. It is the verbalisation of the antithesis. It openly reverses the traditional presumption that America will carry the burden while its allies emote from the sidelines. In this dialectic, the prize is not simply the reopening of a chokepoint. The prize is a reordered system in which the United States effectively arbitrages and controls the global flow of oil. A world in which US‑aligned production in the Americas plus a discretionary capability to secure,or not secure, Hormuz places Washington at the centre of the hydrocarbon chessboard. For that strategic end, a rapid restoration of the old status quo would be counterproductive. A quick, surgical “fix” of Hormuz would short‑circuit the dialectic. If Trump rapidly crushed Iran’s remaining coastal capabilities, swept the mines and escorted tankers back through the Strait, Europe and the UK would heave a sigh of relief and return to business as usual: underfunded militaries, maximalist green posturing and performative disdain for US power, all underwritten by that same power. The contradiction between their dependence and their posture would remain latent. By declining to supply the synthesis on demand, and by explicitly telling London and Brussels to “go and take it” themselves, Trump forces a reckoning. European and British leaders must confront the fact that their energy systems, their industrial bases and their geopolitical sermons all rest on an American hard‑power foundation they neither finance nor politically respect. The longer the contradiction is allowed to unfold, the stronger the eventual synthesis can be: a new order in which access to secure flows, Hormuz, Venezuela and beyond, is explicitly conditional on real contributions, not assumed as a right. In that sense, the delay in “taking” the Strait, and the challenge issued to US allies to do it themselves, is not indecision. It is the negative moment Hegel insisted was necessary for history to move. Only by withholding the old guarantee, and by saying so out loud to those who depended on it, can Trump hope to end the free ride.

@TRHLofficial I have none. As a soldier, I never found fragmentation in 5.56 to be superior to raw stopping power, however.

I don’t really care if this is unpopular, but I think what really happened to Charlie goes deeper than just some fagg0tt with a gun; I believe it was orchestrated by evil people with motivations so menacing and sinister, they spit in the face of God.

"but then leave out you only mean ~4 months out of 48 month presidency." I did not leave that out. I included graphs. It remains factual. "Your claim that the strait closure won’t have long term impact on our prices is much too early to assert." Fair enough, it's more historical precedent that informed the statement, but sure time will tell. The point isn't that it won't be a long term issue so much as it will be a shorter term issue than it is for Europe. "Furthermore implying that a global energy crisis won’t have second order effects on us back home is a very egregious claim." You're talking to someone else. Not me.

@ExigentCritic @dumbestic @DrJStrategy You’re conflating two different people. I never asked about European prices or tax buffers. However, I was a Senior Quantitative Analyst for a Fortune 100 company, so I know a little bit about supply and demand. But thank you. Try not to be such a pompous ass next time.

@NFL_DovKleiman It would be a bigger issue if they were both sports - but an athletic acting production is hardly a confusion for real football. I do think @nflcommish should leave for @FIFAcom though, he has the right estrogen for it.

Wow: President Donald Trump wants the NFL to change its name so that soccer is the only sport named football. "This is football, there is no question about it. We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff." 😬😬😬

@TerriGreenUSA While I'm... PRETTY sure she doesn't mean this literally... ok no I'm positive she doesn't - it's still an awful choice of words and rhetoric - which she clearly prepared in advance. Not a good look.
