President Trump gives a rather lengthy impromptu press availability aboard Airforce One flying to Joint Base Andrews.
Within the comments and questions, President Trump notes the countries who are dependent on oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz are requested to provide escort for their shipments. The United States receives no oil from the region, less than one percent of total production; however, nations like China are highly dependent.
The basic request is for countries who are dependent on the oil to support safe transit of their oil. The USA is securing the region, continuing to take apart the ability of the Iranian regime to launch offensive military activity, but for the specifics of the Strait of Hormuz President Trump would prefer allied support due to their specific benefit.
President Trump also addressed the issue of Iranian false information, and the White House frustration that many U.S. media outlets are promoting phony stories knowing the information is false. President Trump was asked questions about the absence of the Iranian people protesting the regime despite their support to change government. President Trump noted the dangers and risks to the Iranian people that still exist on the ground if they attempt to protest in the streets.
When questioned about the political fallout from the Iran campaign, President Trump notes, “I have to do what’s right … the threat must be eliminated.” President Trump is committed to finally ending the decades long issue represented by the Iranian regime. “These people would have used nuclear missiles” if they had them. WATCH:
.
Finally, a POTUS that has major-sized stones and looks out for the USA…other’s opinions be damned.
Yes, Mr. Spider, and he also has the brains to understand and counter the global grift that has been feeding on American. I attribute some of that to Godly wisdom. But we can pray for his strength and protection in this unfolding battle. Please do so.
We pray that he gets wise counsel and not the words of snakes 🙏
But also: a military who has always known and prepared for this. Only awaiting a commander wise enough to give the orders – and then, the space to do the job without meddling.
It’s been quite a long time since they had that. Trump is a chief executive by training and experience, not a micro-manager. It makes ALL the difference.
It is THEIR command teams, and the executors right down to the individual soldiers and airmen, who have “done” this. And known how to plan and coordinate it. The President sits at the top, closely watching but not interfering. (Lincoln, for example, was [in]famous for doing the opposite.)
Damn straight, Mike! Can’t tell ya how proud I am of our Armed Forces along with USSOW Hegseth and his team.

If you ever wanted proof that President TRUMP is NOT a typical politician, but simply a private citizen doing his duty to his country because he had the means and the skills and the will to respond to his country’s call during a time of treason and tragedy, i.e. the 100+ years of dismantling the traditions and the Constitution of America by Socialists-Communists, those words are all the evidence you would need!

After announcing his candidacy before the first term, Mr. Trump was asked by fellow NYS developer Carl Paladino why he was choosing to enter the cut throat snake pit of politics when he “had it made” right where he was. Mr. Paladino knew that first hand from his gubernatorial campaign several years earlier.
Knowing what was going on in the world, as well as in politics here, DJT replied something like this, “Because I have a chance to make a difference for my children and grandchildren, so I at least want to try”. At that point, it is when Mr. Paladino threw his support 100% and started the “New Yorker’s for Trump” volunteers to assist in canvassing, etc. for the campaign. Mr. Paladino shared that at the Erie County (NY) Republican straw poll held in February 2016 in Buffalo, NY. Mr. Trump was the overwhelming winner, much to the chagrin of the establishment (R).
Yes, and those words are a call to action. Every single patriot who loves the free world must heed his call. One man cannot possibly do it alone.
Through President Trump, God has given us a window to glimpse our birthright as human beings. It takes a mighty leap of faith to ensure we will once again secure our God-given rights as human beings made in His image, as God has always intended for us.
President Trump is a great President.
Above all, he is a good and wise man, worthy of our continued confidence and support.
I for one am convinced of his motivation to protect and preserve our Republic. I pray other good citizens see him as a noble and heroic patriot.
Critically, Trump spent his entire civilian career as a “chief executive” who knew how to assemble a team around himself, give them clear and insightful directions, then allow them to do it without interference.
(His popular TV show, “The Apprentice,” was entirely fiction. And he played it to the hilt!)
He became a BILlionaire that way, and of course his rising tide lifted plenty of other boats. Produced a lot of very happy customers and lenders, too!
Note that the Iranian people have never been allowed to “keep and bear arms.” That would threaten the regime. The 1979 “revolution” succeeded because the army went over to the Islamists. Today, that seems unlikely to happen because the IRGC has more power and guns than the army.
CIA needs to arm and support the rebels.
And make use of those anti-personnel drones (airborne boots?). For every regime soldier removed from a checkpoint, a rebellious citizen can grab his rifle, change that arming equation.
why do you want CIA/deep state in the mix?
I want the CIA to just stay the hell out!
Why didn’t they help the brave people who assembled in Tehran in June 2009?
Obama – and the CIA – just stood by while the people were butchered!
Brendan Carr will be busy.
As usual, Trump is entirely correct: 46.5 years ago, when it became clear just what sort of brutal regime had taken over Iran, the impacted nations should have collectively taken meaningful defensive (and offensive) action. Entirely for the self-preservation of themselves, their hapless crews, and their vital business interests.
For 47 years, unfortunately, the USA didn’t do “what must be done” either. Instead, it did some truly crazy things. Like, “aircraft full of cash.” (Wonder where all that money REALLY went … asking for a friend.)
Disgraceful of the press – the same people that did not blink an eye at President Obama totally ignoring all those brave people, including the younger generation, that assembled openly in Tehran in June 2009.
China is not under blockade by Iran regime either
only Europe – unbllock if they pay with yuan?
Blessings to President Trump.. and more prayers for his protection and continued success! 🙏🏻🙏🏻😇😇❤️❤️🇺🇸🐴

Very good interview. Like them about the best along with the getting on or getting off the planes. Wonder if the three networks, NBC, CBS, and ABC finally figured out President Trump don’t hold them in middle or even low esteem but none at all.
I love how President Trump looks them in the eye and tells them they are corrupt liars! The worst of the worst, and then he is polite and gracious! Talk about diplomacy. He has utter and complete contempt for them and tells them honestly. Then ends with thank you. Love it!
Iran’s long conflict with the United States is the epitome of Endless War. It started on November 4, 1979, with the seizure of American hostages in Tehran, and now appears to be in its terminal phase.
President Trump did not start this conflict any more than President Carter did. At 47 years and running, this conflict has lasted longer than the Cold War with the Soviet Union.
But like it has been said here and elsewhere: Enough is enough. It’s well past time to end it — on our terms. And that is what the United States and Israel are doing, systematically and unapologetically.
did not Carter regime change Shah?
The dark Dems know that success on this front dooms them for years so they actively support Islamic efforts to defeat us.
At what point do the people unify enough and refuse to vote for anyone in that party, and then officially ban their traitorous as—s from government? Does the constitution guarantee their existence somehow?
They have to go.
never, most of the younger ones are dumber than a box of rocks,,,,aaand I say this having grandbabies in that age bracket, you can’t talk to them
and, as of this morning, they have all refused, we need to get out of NATO
Trump is building case for it
The Iranian regime is so clueless to the realities of the situation they announced a list of countries that could transit the Straights in safety, high up was China, which simply reminds the majority of the country who helped their oppressor’s imprison them in a hellish existence.
This is why Trump’s strategy of publicly asking China for assistance is not proof of Epic Fury failing, as the MSM narrative is portraying, but making sure that when China have to deal with the government of the new Iran (the regime’s death clock is at about 5 to midnight). They cannot wheedle their way into positions of influence using the panda mask, since the members of that government will remember the blood of their citizens on the dragon’s teeth. This memory will be enforced by the cirizen’s, whatever tempting bribes the PRC offers, even if there is regime change also there (losing Iran will put Xi’s strategy in the sights of his enemies).
China must not be enriched by this oil….
