President Trump sat down with Sean Hannity to communicate with the segment of the MAGA support base who still watches Fox News.
Within the interview President Trump discusses the operation to capture Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and the ongoing policy objectives for the region.
.
I can’t get over Hannity caving to the fraudulent 2020 election.
I will never listen to Hannity again, and haven’t since he swept the Biden installation under the rug, nor should anyone who expects honesty and integrity.
One comment seemed lonely so I had to make it two.
The blame lies at the feet of the ownership, management and producers of Fox News.
The total farce that was the Fox News – Dominion lawsuit designed to crush anyone raising objections to the fraudulent machine vote counts smacks of collaboration by Fox. Far far worse than the act making up any one “news show”.
Haven’t been able to watch any Fox broadcast without remembering their multiple efforts to suppress votes by calling Florida early for example when the panhandle was still voting or the entire election before California polls were even close to closing.
Don’t forget Brett Baer calling Arizona with three more hours of voting still going on. Never watched again.
Hannity has always been a democrat.
Keyed to start concerning land attacks cartels.
Prior to the 1:35 mark the president talks about hitting cartel land targets then speaks of cartels running Mexico. Seems he is speaking of two different things but news sources running with next up land targets in Mexico.. I don’t get that meaning from his statement.
You?

If the military is capable of knowing the difference between a drug boat and a regular boat/ship, then Im sure they are capable of telling the difference from one chemical factory to another. Patterns emerge. I would imagine only positive ID’s would be targeted. JMO
There was a big movie about us taking operations into Mexico. Barbra Streisand’s stepson was in it.
I can’t emphasize strongly enough that Trump’s apparent willingness to work with ideologically committed Marxists and jihadis is deeply troubling. That posture shows up in his tolerance of a Marxist “replacement” of Maduro, a different face from the same ideological sewer, as well as in his indifference to figures like Mamdani, a foreign-born and foreign-financed jihadi Marxist who, at his inauguration, openly called for replacing American individualism with the “warmth of collectivism.” That kind of ideological possession isn’t something to be managed pragmatically. It metastasizes when underestimated. History is unambiguous on this.
Yes, the signals to China, Russia, and Iran are clear: Latin America is no longer an open playground. The question is who listens. The Russians might; at least they’ll go quiet for a while. The Iranians appear to be facing more immediate issues back at home. China is the wildcard. It rarely responds to signals unless they’re backed by sustained pressure they deem credible.
Strategically, this posture does have benefits. It likely shields Guyana and its vast oil reserves from Venezuelan adventurism and may discourage unsavory dealings in Suriname. That matters. Stability in that corridor isn’t trivial to our national interest.
There’s also a massive PR dimension here. If this posture helped embolden ordinary Iranians to challenge the Islamist thugs who hijacked their country 47 years ago, that’s undeniably a win. I love Iranian people.
Still, I remain uneasy. Trump’s apparent willingness to transact with Marxists and jihadi state and domestic actors feels less like strategy and more like short-term deal-making. Ideologically driven movements and religious zealots aren’t normal, rational actors. They don’t moderate through engagement. They exploit it.
Call me old-fashioned, but I don’t think betting against ideological fanaticism has ever been a winning strategy.
I do agree with you on this for the most part. I do think President Trumps hands are tied and not able to do a complete regime change. The Left would be losing the mends even more and it would require boots on the ground to rid Venezuela of the 4 corrupt factions within AND the foreign actors. I think President Trump is being very cautious. President Trump getting the foreign actors out and removing Maduro was a major step to an ultimate goal. Although the optics of leaving the old guard and trying to work with them looks bad, I don’t think there’s much left for options to intervene.
The President has a very difficult job. I agree.
Alternatively, I can see how brilliant Trump’s negotiations are. He has the ability to rise above ideology and addresses the factual situations. I personally cannot deal with Marxists, Communists, Socialists, etc., but he can, and does, and works through to agreements that benefit Americans as a whole. He didn’t ignore Mamdami – he gave him enough rope to hang himself. Or, I should say, New York city made a choice (or did they?) and they will pay the price as wealth exists stage left.
IMHO, we need someone who can deal with all nationalities, religions, and institutions, and not be closed off and thereby losing opportunity to “make deals” that benefit us.
Well spoken born free
You can’t negotiate with Marxists and Islamists. As I posted before, they don’t moderate through engagement. They exploit it.
Funny, I saw Trump working the art of what’s possible.
There have been lots of stories about how the nobel prize winning opposition was just incapable of taking power.
That is a losing proposition. American troops suppressing a hostile country on behalf of incompetent and greedy rulers that we prop up.
Sounds like a recipe for massive American deaths and Trillions spent. But it lasted for 20 years in Afghanistan.
Maybe you are right and it can’t last. For now it is working. And without massive American deaths or trillions wasted.
Iraq and Afghanistan were mistakes because of manipulated intel, worse planning, delusional ideas of nation building, and boots on the ground for years.
I never supported any of that. I’m telling you as a guy who enlisted two weeks after 9/11. I still can hear my dad cry… a guy who never even complained. I saw the depravity of the locals and bad leadership of our military and politicians first hand.
But I also understand that instead of course-correcting with clarity, many of us throw away the compass entirely and call it “maturity” or “nuance.” But there is no nuance in such thoughts, only trauma, shame, or lazy generalization dressed up as sophistication.
We’re lied to about WMDs and many other things, so now we must never confront rogue regimes again. This is intellectual PTSD turned into policy.
It’s process. Even though it may be flawed, you have to go back and learn from mistakes, change the process until you get it as close to perfect as possible. Unfortunately there are always new mistakes and the process should be flexible enough to respond. Keep at it. Never make the same mistake twice. Strive for perfection but know you will never achieve it.
Correct. Dumping the process is not the solution.
I think we’ve surpassed 3D chess. Trump and 97% of his administration are performing brilliantly! I’ve finally realized, we can’t all be pessimistic about his plans!
The U.S. Department of Education’s Section 117 reporting data (foreign gifts and contracts that colleges are required to disclose above the threshold) has Qatar at roughly $6.6 billion in reported gifts + contracts to U.S. institutions, making it one of the largest (often the largest) reported foreign funders in that dataset.
Affinity Partners raised ~$1 billion from Qatari sovereign fund. That’s a huge conflict, don’t you think?
A jihadi theocratic monarchy that is quite open about their plan to globalize Sharia.
Do you really think all these shenanigans on American campuses and Mamdani happened in a vacuum?
How is it any different than working with RINO’s and democrats in Congress?
Hannity is a sell out, have avoided him for years
Like fake Conservative Hugh Hewitt: “Bill Barr is a good guy!” “Mitch McConnell is a good guy!”
Mr. Hewitt: Have you looked with any perspicacity at what they and other RINOS have done and are still doing?
I know Victor David Hanson said “Bill Barr is a good guy!” in 2025. I was watching a clip and heard him say it then shut it off and stopped paying attention to all output from VDH. Nobody that props up Bill Barr can be trusted about anything.
Hugh said it too and I didn’t know because I never listen to him. Both getting the same talking points from the uniparty. Hugh and VDH controlled establishment uniparty “conservatives”.
I’ve been learning a lot about the tribe of Dan. They went off their own way and were first to worship idols in the northern kingdom. There is a whole history (religion) of Dan which first was symbolized by a snake then they turned it to an eagle. They supposedly moved into England and I am wondering if this all boils down to the Tribe of Dan (representing the Devil) who led England’s throne against the “other” which represents Jesus Christ and his ultimate sovereignty of the world, sitting on the throne of David. That might explain a lot, where there are a bunch of Masons at odds with each other. I know there is a spiritual war going on which results in particular things going on down here.
Miss Joan, would you please mind sharing links or book references to the materials you’ve been studying?
What you have shared in your post is fascinating and I’d like to learn more.
Thank you.

I cut the cord with Fox News and cable on Jan 7, 5 years ago and I have zero regrets.
I owe it all to Sundance and the most excellent Treepers.
Thank you for keeping me informed, focused and grounded in non-pretending.
But as you all know, it’s also a sweet burden, being a lonely place out here without many to converse with like Adults, face to face.
I was explaining to my brother on NYE, that this website and community within it, is on such an elite level of understanding domestic and global events in real time, and is so enriched through camaraderie, that I could recognize, another Treeper, by uttering just one word.
Well that, or a Navy Seal or a Marine or a White Hat Spook, might say it back to me. lol
Winking at you, Sundance.
Prayers for you all.
Can’tvtake Hannity!
I haven’t watched RINO news since the 2020 election fraud…..
Hannity..always trying to stroke President Trump’s ego. President Trump got Hannity’s number a long time ago.
Why, Shamity, would PT take Machado’s Nobel Prize when he earned it on his own.
Shamity, in a patronizing statement to President Trump: “I’ll put up the list (of the wars PT has settled)”
Shamity is not even a useful tool anymore. President Trump would do better going on Marge’s show or Welker’s..at least they hold their daggers out front.
Thank God even what President Trump knows about backstabbers, he still knows he has to use their communication vehicles for reaching certain audiences.
Thank you Sundance for that point…”the base who still watch”.
We are still angry at all those who have hurt him, us.
We pray to keep focused and not get bitter.
President Trump has mastered this, it seems.🦅✝️
I always see a lot of commenters who hate on Hannity. I don’t like him either, and won’t watch him. BUT…
I will tell you that there is a segment of the populace that absolutely will NOT give up Fox News. Ever. I know some of them. One time I was watching a Fox interview with one of these people . It was an interview of a doctor about the Covid vaxx. The doctor said something “unapproved” about the clot-shot, something negative.
They immediately went to commercial break. When they came back, the doctor “corrected” himself about what he had said, completely reversing his statement! I said to my friend “did you see that!?” And of course she had, and expressed shock.
Same person is still glued to Fox News every day. It’s a sick need to feel like they “know something,” without all the icky, scary, REAL facts of what is going on the in world. At least that’s what I think it is.
That first sentence says it all. Well done.
