🚨 TRUMP JUST SENT A MESSAGE TO VENEZUELA 🚨

A U.S. military strike just sank a Venezuelan narco-boat loaded with drugs.

11 dead. Tren de Aragua terrorists. Cocaine & fentanyl headed for our streets.

Trump isn’t playing. The drug "war" just got REAL. 🧵👇

2/ For years, Venezuela’s dictator Nicolás Maduro has flooded our borders with:

• Millions of illegal migrants
• Narco-terrorist gangs like Tren de Aragua
• Drugs killing Americans by the tens of thousands

That ended Sept. 2 when Trump gave the green light.

3/ The boat was packed with drugs.

Trump: “You see bags of drugs all over the boat. We have tapes of them speaking about it. A lot of people won’t be doing it again after seeing that video.”

Swift. Decisive. Zero tolerance.

4/ Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth:

➡️ The boat was run by Tren de Aragua—designated a foreign terrorist org earlier this year.
➡️ “Operations will continue in the region.”

Translation: This was just the beginning.

5/ Secretary of State Marco Rubio, speaking in Mexico City:

“A boat full of cocaine or fentanyl is an immediate threat to the United States. Trump has the right to eliminate it under exigent circumstances.”

The message: America will strike FIRST.

6/ This comes weeks after Trump doubled the reward for Maduro’s capture to $50 million.

Maduro is a Socialist and a cartel puppet—his regime tied to drugs, gangs, & terrorists from Hezbollah to FARC.

Trump is choking off his power at the source while defending American lives.

7/ Maduro squealed to reporters that Trump wants “regime change” & declared “maximum preparedness.”

Good. Let him sweat.

✅ Defend our borders BEFORE enemies cross
✅ Destroy drugs at the source
✅ Crush cartels & gangs Democrats pretend don’t exist

8/ Bottom line:

Trump just put Venezuela’s narco-state on notice.
He’s treating Tren de Aragua as what it is: a foreign military incursion.

No more “catch and release.”
No more “sanctuary cities.”
No more drugs pouring in.

America fights back. 🇺🇸
