🇺🇸 NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte to Trump:
There is one thing I heard you say yesterday and today.
You were not absolutely sure that the Europeans would come to the rescue of the U.S. if you will be attacked. Let me tell you, they will.
They did in Afghanistan, as you know. For every two Americans who paid the ultimate price, there was one soldier from another NATO country who did not come back to his family, from the Netherlands, from Denmark, particularly from other countries.
So you can be assured, absolutely, if the U.S. will be under attack, your allies will be with you.
It pains me if you think it is not. And under your leadership, this alliance is stronger than ever.

When will Republicans finally grow a spine and stand up to this reckless President?
Donald Trump is throwing away America's alliances over stupid & petty personal grievances.
His actions are dangerous and making us less safe.

NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials: Dear Ambassador: President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state] “Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”

Troops from European countries are arriving in Greenland to defend the territory from us. Let that sink in. And now Trump is setting tariffs on our allies, making you pay more to try to get territory we don’t need. The damage this President is doing to our reputation and our relationships is growing, making us less safe. If something doesn’t change we will be on our own with adversaries and enemies in every direction. Republicans in Congress need to stand up to Trump.

Your mind is the starting point of all war and all strategy. A mind that is easily overwhelmed by emotion, that is rooted in the past instead of the present, that cannot see the world with clarity and urgency, will create strategies that will always miss the mark.

WHAT WAS WRITTEN IN THE ENVELOPES AT GEORGE BUSH’S FUNERAL PART II
So what happened after members of the Satanic pedophile cabal received and read letters on their chairs at Bush’s funeral that left them all in shock and absolutely terrified?
This happened! 👇🏻
President Trump and the First Lady made their grand appearance, and they sat front row next to many of them.
Look at their faces and observe their body language. This is not a group of people mourning the loss of a “friend” and/or a former President. These people are mourning something MUCH greater.
Now observe Trump’s demeanor and body language. What does he do with his hands as soon as he sits down? If you know, you know.
Furthermore, how and why is it that there were so many cameras that got their reaction to them reading the envelopes, zoomed in no less, and it was released to the public?
Who is really in control?
I don’t have all the answers but I’m confident that the best is yet to come and NOTHING can stop what’s coming.

I am the first Mexican-born American Congresswoman ever elected in congress and I won’t allow the far left to take that away because it doesn’t fit their narrative.

@JuanGon34909311 @ferchocevallos @jessemwilliams @MayraFlores2022 Yes she can. There are dozens of naturalized citizens with ts’s that I know personally

@ferchocevallos @jessemwilliams @MayraFlores2022 Can a naturalized citizen obtain a top secret clearance?
I was under the impression she can't, but could be mistaken.
I was under the impression that if a person has ties to a foreign country
(i.e. relatives born abroad) did no qualify for a top secret clearance.
