🚨 The Man They Claimed Wanted to Destroy NATO Has Immeasurably Strengthened It.

Trump was never against NATO: he was against Euro-freeloading.

He's forced our "allies" to TRIPLE alliance military strength. And he's isolated Putin and Xi in the process.

Here’s how 👇🧵 Image
2/ When Trump met Putin on the tarmac in Alaska, the Enemedia screamed: “He’s caving to Russia!” As they always do.

But days later, Trump sat down with NATO & EU leaders—and demonstrated not just unity against Russian aggression, but proof who's in charge.

But there's more... Image
3/ Flashback:

👉 In 2014, Merkel sent Ukraine blankets & helmets
👉 Obama refused lethal aid
👉 In 2022, the Pentagon predicted Russia would win in a month

Trump broke the mold.

He gave Ukraine the Javelins that stopped Russian tanks.

Yet somehow he's "Putin's puppet"?! Image
4/ For years, Trump correctly blasted NATO as a free-rider club.

Europe paid 29.5%, America paid 70.5%.

He demanded change. He said we wouldn't be part of a fake alliance.

Now? NATO spending TRIPLED.

Trump didn’t "shatter" NATO. He made it REAL.

5/ Aug. 18 at the White House:

🇫🇷 Macron
🇩🇪 Merz
🇬🇧 Starmer
🇮🇹 Meloni
🇪🇺 EU & NATO chiefs

All pledged unity: Ukraine will NOT fall.

A nightmare for Moscow’s old dream—splitting the West.

Trump turned NATO from talk shop to real shield. For the first time since the Cold War. Image
6/ And he’s doing it without draining the U.S. taxpayer.

Europeans let their arms industry atrophy, but are now paying for U.S.-made military hardware for Ukraine.

👉 Ukraine gets weapons
👉 Russia feels pressure
👉 Europe steps up
👉 America is the arsenal of democracy Image
7/ The bigger picture:

🔹 Russia’s GDP is smaller than Texas
🔹 1M+ Russian casualties
🔹 Sanctions cutting deeper every month
🔹 Trump cutting off Putin's energy sales

Putin is running out of options.

With a NATO that's not just a talking shop, his war becomes unwinnable. Image
8/ Trump knows peace requires strength and strategy.

Like Nixon with Egypt in 1973, he’s preparing a settlement where:

✅ Ukraine survives, secure & independent
✅ Russia exits with a shred of dignity
✅ A stronger Europe turns West—not toward China

That’s statesmanship.Image
9/ The Neocons and Enemedia that cried “Trump will destroy NATO” now faces a stark reality:

He’s the one who saved it.
He's the one who made Europe strong.
He’s the one bringing Russia to the table.
He’s the one giving Ukraine real hope.

rodmartin.org/p/why-exactly-…
10/ Bottom line:

Trump has:

💥 Rebuilt NATO into the strongest alliance ever
💥 Forced Europe to TRIPLE its defenses
💥 Put Russia on the back foot
💥 Given Ukraine its best-ever chance for peace

That’s leadership the world hasn’t seen since Reagan.

🚨 MASSIVE: Trump admin to review all 55 MILLION visa holders in America.

That's LEGAL immigrants.

Any who broke the law—or showed ties to terrorism—will be deported.

The swamp’s “look the other way” era is over.

🧵👇 Image
Image
2/ State Dept: every U.S. visa holder is now under continuous vetting.

That means if new info comes to light—DUI, burglary, assault, or support for terrorism—the visa is revoked. Period.

“Being here is a privilege, not a right.” 🇺🇸Image
3/ Already:

🔹 6,000 student visas revoked since January
🔹 4,000 for serious crimes (DUI, burglary, assault)
🔹 300+ for ties to terror groups like Hamas

Every single revocation was for lawbreaking or terrorism support. Image

🚨 The ESG bubble is bursting.

And yes, it was a bubble.

For years, global elites used “environmental, social, governance” investing to push Woke agendas, strangle U.S. energy, weaken our economy, & undermine national security.

Now it’s collapsing. Here’s why. 🧵👇 Image
2/ What is ESG?

It’s a scheme to force corporations to chase Democrats' political goals—“diversity,” “sustainability,” “stakeholder capitalism”—instead of profit.

Translation: politics first, shareholders last.

But they're using your money, often against your will. Image
3/ The numbers tell the story:

📉 10 straight quarters of U.S. ESG fund outflows
📉 $40B pulled in 2022–23
📉 Another $26B yanked in 2024–25

The hype is gone. Investors are fleeing. Image

🚨 BREAKING: U.S. sanctions International Criminal Court judges.

@SecRubio: “The ICC has abused its power, politicized justice, and tried to prosecute U.S. and Israeli nationals without consent.

The U.S. will never allow foreign bureaucrats to override our sovereignty.”

🧵 Image
Image
@SecRubio 2/ Who’s targeted?

🔹 Nicolas Yann Guillou (France)
🔹 Nazhat Shameem Khan (Fiji)
🔹 Mame Mandiaye Niang (Senegal)
🔹 Kimberly Prost (Canada)

All sanctioned by Treasury & State for illegally weaponizing the ICC. Image
@SecRubio 3/ The ICC outrageously issued arrest warrants for:

🇮🇱 PM Benjamin Netanyahu
🇮🇱 Former Defense Chief Yoav Gallant

…while lumping them in with Hamas terrorists.

Pure lawfare. Pure politics. And if they'll do it to Israeli leaders, U.S. leaders are next. Image

🚨 URGENT: Apple just dropped an emergency iPhone update after admitting hackers are exploiting a “sophisticated attack.”

If you own an iPhone or iPad, this is serious. Here’s what you need to know 🧵👇 Image
2/ Apple CONFIRMS:

⚠️ Hackers are using a flaw to target specific people
⚠️ A single malicious image file can hijack your phone
⚠️ Attackers can run their own code in your system

This isn’t theoretical. It’s happening now. Image
3/ The flaw impacts:

📱 iPhone XS & later
📱 iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad 7th gen & later
📱 iPad Mini 5 & later

You need to update to iOS 18.6.2 and iPadOS 18.6.2 IMMEDIATELY.

(Fortunately, it's a pretty quick update.) Image

🚨 AMERICAN MANUFACTURING BOOM 🚨

Trump’s America First agenda is WORKING:

👉 U.S. manufacturing just hit a 3-year high
👉 Demand is soaring at home & abroad
👉 Hiring is surging

The former Rust Belt is roaring back. Here’s what you need to know 🧵 Image
2/ S&P Global reports:

📈 U.S. business activity = fastest pace in 3 years
📈 Factories showing “marked acceleration” in output
📈 Job creation at near-record levels

This isn’t a blip. It’s a trend.

pmi.spglobal.com/Public/Home/Pr…Image
3/ Companies are building inventory like crazy.

Why? Because they expect DEMAND to stay strong.

That’s confidence in the U.S. economy. It's also excitement about new U.S. access to foreign markets due to Trump's trade deals.

🚨 TRUMP DROPS A BOMBSHELL 🚨

“Ukraine cannot win this war without striking Russia.”

He’s warning Putin: make peace FAST—or face the consequences.

Here’s what Trump just revealed 👇🧵 Image
2/ Trump criticized Biden’s Ukraine policy, comparing it to a football team that can only play defense:

🛑 No offense
🛑 No path to victory
🛑 Endless stalemate

Result? “ZERO chance of winning.” Image
3/ Trump blasted Biden’s old rules:

➡️ “Biden would not let Ukraine FIGHT BACK, only DEFEND. How did that work out?”

Exactly. And that's the warning.

If Putin drags his feet as usual, Trump will give Ukraine tools that will let it really hurt Russia. Image
