Biden Couldn’t Finish the Job, So Trump’s Doing It BIGGER and BETTER!

Donald J. Trump is back on the offensive against terrorists, making it clear that anyone who threatens American lives will face swift and decisive action.

During his first term, Trump launched an aggressive campaign against ISIS, easing military engagement rules and accelerating the destruction of the terror group. By 2019, ISIS in Iraq and Syria had collapsed under relentless U.S. attacks. However, under President Joe Biden’s leadership, the group has resurged.

Since the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, ISIS-K has regained strength, launching deadly attacks and expanding its reach. The Biden administration has struggled to counter the growing threats. Meanwhile, nations like Chad and Niger have expelled U.S. forces, further undermining counterterrorism efforts.

Unlike his predecessor, Trump is taking direct action. On Saturday, he announced on social media that he ordered precision airstrikes targeting ISIS leaders in Somalia. “The message to ISIS and all others who would attack Americans is that ‘WE WILL FIND YOU, AND WE WILL KILL YOU!’” he declared.

Trump’s approach aligns with his recent executive order reclassifying the Houthis as a foreign terrorist organization. These Islamist pirates have been attacking global trade routes since Hamas launched its assault on Israel on October 7. With Iranian backing, they have disrupted vital shipping lanes between Asia and Europe.

Now, Trump is making it clear: America will not stand by while its enemies grow bolder. His administration aims to “eliminate the Houthis’ capabilities and operations” to protect international commerce and safeguard U.S. interests.

This strategy mirrors the forceful policies of his first term. Trump believes peace and security come through strength, and he is proving once again that America will strike hard when provoked.

Dr. Rebeccah L. Heinrichs, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute specializing in foreign policy and strategic deterrence, has closely followed these developments. With Trump at the helm, the message is clear: threats against America will not be tolerated, and those who challenge U.S. security will face severe consequences.
