🚨 AMERICANS NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.

Most people are still viewing President Trump’s foreign policy through the old post-WW2 lens. That lens is obsolete. What P Trump is attempting is not a minor policy adjustment. It is a complete restructuring of the global economic and geopolitical order.

Read that again.

For 80 years, America operated under a “globalist” framework:
• America paid the bills
• America defended everyone
• America opened its markets
• America carried NATO
• America protected shipping lanes
• America subsidized allies
• America tolerated trade imbalances
• America exported democracy while factories disappeared and debt exploded at home

That system enriched multinational corporations, global institutions, foreign economies, and permanent bureaucracies.

But millions of Americans watched:

- manufacturing collapse
- wages stagnate
- communities hollow out
- endless wars drain trillions
- China rise into a superpower using America's own economic system against itself

President Trump is trying to replace that model with something entirely different:

👉 A transactional, America First economic coalition built around ENERGY, TRADE, SECURITY, MANUFACTURING, and STRATEGIC DEALS.

That Truth Social post about the Abraham Accords wasn’t just another statement. It was a blueprint.

If this succeeds, you are looking at the construction of a massive economic/security network that could include:

- The United States
- Saudi Arabia
- UAE
- Qatar
- Egypt
- Jordan
- Israel
- Pakistan
- TĂĽrkiye
- India
- parts of Latin America
- strategic Indo-Pacific partners
- and critically, a normalization framework with BOTH China and Russia where competition still exists, but catastrophic conflict is avoided through economic leverage, negotiated spheres of influence, energy coordination, and transactional diplomacy

This is one of the most misunderstood parts of President Trump’s geopolitical strategy.

Many Americans still think in Cold War terms:
America vs Russia.
America vs China.
Permanent hostility.
Permanent escalation.

But President Trump’s approach is far more transactional and realist.

Instead of trying to ideologically remake the world, the strategy appears focused on:

- preventing direct great-power war
- reducing the chance of nuclear escalation
- using trade leverage instead of permanent military occupation
- creating economic interdependence where possible
- forcing burden-sharing among allies
- and positioning America as the central negotiating power between rival blocs

That does NOT mean “surrendering” to China or Russia.

It means recognizing a reality many in Washington refused to accept for decades:
China is already an economic superpower.
Russia remains a military and energy superpower.

The question is no longer whether they exist as major powers.
The question is whether America can position itself at the center of a new balance of power that benefits Americans instead of endlessly draining American wealth trying to maintain a fading unipolar system.

This is why you are seeing:
• negotiations instead of immediate escalation
• energy diplomacy
• tariff wars instead of troop surges
• pressure campaigns tied to trade access
• selective partnerships instead of blind alliances
• attempts to split rival coalitions apart through deals

President Trump is essentially trying to create overlapping economic zones where America is no longer carrying the world for free - but instead sits at the center of the world’s most powerful deal-making network.

Combined economic power? Potentially $65-75+ TRILLION in GDP. Over HALF the global economy.

Think about what that means.

This is about:
âś… energy dominance
âś… shipping lanes
âś… critical minerals
âś… AI infrastructure
âś… manufacturing chains
âś… food security
âś… military positioning
âś… trade corridors
âś… investment flows
âś… currency leverage
âś… stabilizing relations between major powers where possible
âś… isolating hostile behavior through leverage instead of endless occupation wars

And younger Americans especially need to understand this part:

THIS DIRECTLY IMPACTS YOUR FUTURE.

If America remains trapped in the old system:

- debt keeps exploding
- jobs continue leaving
- housing becomes less affordable
- wages get crushed by global competition
- endless foreign entanglements continue
- America slowly declines like other aging empires

But if America successfully repositions itself at the center of a new energy/manufacturing/trade coalition:

- industrial jobs return
- energy prices stabilize
- strategic industries reshoring accelerates
- infrastructure investment increases
- supply chains become more secure
- America regains leverage instead of bleeding leverage

This is why you see such aggressive pushes around:
• tariffs
• domestic manufacturing
• energy independence
• critical minerals
• Middle East normalization
• India relations
• securing trade routes
• reducing dependency on hostile supply chains
• stabilizing great-power relations through leverage and economic pressure instead of permanent military escalation

This is not random.

This is an attempt to build a new geopolitical architecture for the next 50 years.

And whether people like President Trump or hate him personally is becoming irrelevant to the scale of what is unfolding.

The Abraham Accords themselves are historic because they shift the Middle East from perpetual religious/geopolitical conflict toward economic interdependence.

Peace through prosperity.
Trade instead of proxy wars.
Economic incentives instead of permanent instability.

That changes everything:

- investment floods in
- shipping stabilizes
- energy markets calm
- regional growth accelerates
- tourism expands
- infrastructure projects explode
- security cooperation increases

And if normalization frameworks eventually extend outward toward Russia and even portions of China’s economic system, you could be looking at the emergence of the largest interconnected economic balancing structure in modern history.

Not a utopia.
Not permanent peace.
Not the end of competition.

But a system where economic incentives and strategic leverage become more powerful than endless military occupations and ideological crusades.

The old order was based on permanent management of conflict.

This new model attempts to monetize stability.

Will it fully work? Nobody knows yet. There are enormous risks, contradictions, and power struggles involved. Traditional allies are nervous. Global institutions hate it. Rival powers are cautious. Some countries will resist. Others will attempt to manipulate it.

But Americans should at least understand the scale of the play being attempted here.

This is not “normal politics.”
This is a potential civilizational realignment.

And if younger Americans do not start paying attention to economics, geopolitics, energy, trade, manufacturing, and global power shifts now - they are going to inherit a world they do not understand.

Read. Research. Think critically.
And SHARE this so more Americans understand what may be unfolding in real time.

Negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran are proceeding nicely! It will only be a Great Deal for all or, no Deal at all — Back to the Battlefront and shooting, but bigger and stronger than ever before — And nobody wants that!

During my discussions on Saturday with President Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, of The United Arab Emirates, Emir Tamim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, and Minister Ali al-Thawadi, of Qatar, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir Ahmed Shah, of Pakistan, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, of Türkiye, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, of Egypt, King Abdullah II, of Jordan, and King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, of Bahrain, I stated that, after all the work done by the United States to try and pull this very complex puzzle together,  it should be mandatory that all of these Countries, at a minimum, simultaneously, sign onto the Abraham Accords.

Those Countries discussed are Saudi Arabia, The United Arab Emirates (already a Member!), Qatar, Pakistan, TĂĽrkiye, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain (already a Member!). It may be possible that one or two have a reason for not doing so, and that will be accepted, but most should be ready, willing, and able to make this Settlement with Iran a far more Historic Event than it would, otherwise, be.

The Abraham Accords have proven to be, for the Countries involved (The United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, and Kazakhstan), a Financial, Economic, and Social BOOM, even during this time of Conflict and War, with the current Members never even suggesting leaving, or taking so much as even a pause. The reason for this is that the Abraham Accords have been great for them, and will be even better for everybody, and bring true Power, Strength, and Peace to the Middle East for the first time in 5,000 years.

It will be a Document respected like no other that has ever been signed, anywhere in the World. Its level of Importance and Prestige will be unparalleled! It should start with the immediate signing by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and everybody else should follow suit. If they don’t, they should not be part of this Deal in that it shows bad intention. In speaking to numerous of the Great Leaders mentioned above, they would be honored, as soon as our Document is signed, to have the Islamic Republic of Iran as part of the Abraham Accords.

Wow, now that would be something special! This will be the most important Deal that any of these Great, but always in Conflict Countries, will ever sign. Nothing in the past, or in the future, will surpass it. Therefore, I am mandatorily requesting that all Countries immediately sign the Abraham Accords, and that, if Iran signs its Agreement with me, as President of the United States of America, it would be an Honor to have them also be part of this unparalleled World Coalition. The Middle East would be United, Powerful, and Economically Strong, like perhaps no other area, anywhere in the World!

By copy of this TRUTH, I am asking my Representatives to begin, and successfully complete, the process of signing these Countries into the already Historic Abraham Accords. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 

May 25, 2026

We have to overcome the naysayers who feel we can’t work with China and Russia. That’s a ridiculous mindset at this juncture. But nonetheless a mindset people still hold.

And look at who isn’t mentioned...the EU - the fools who are importing the third world and who smugly figured they’d just always keep their now fading glory.

Sessions was wonderful in the Senate. I’m still trying to figure out why Trump appointed him and then publicly bashed him rather than replaced him.

I am not so certain that having large scale economic interdependence will assure a largely peaceful world. Oh, it will certainly do so for a time. But I don’t think it’s going to last for that long. Period. Why? Because almost the exact same thing was tried prior to World War I, with the addition of having the Royal houses intermarried to even further increase critical ties between nations. How did that work out?

Now, don’t read my response in the paragraph above as me being against what Trump is doing. I simply want everybody to go into this with their eyes wide open and to reduce their longer term expectations. However, I do think that it is vitally important that the United States start acting on behalf of its own interest and on behalf of its citizens. We have almost driven ourselves into bankruptcy, defending everybody, while they go about spending very little on defense when they have the money to do so, and then spend a bunch on social services while accusing us of being barbarians for not doing so. It was one thing to carry Europe in the 20 or 25 years after World War II, it is quite another thing to do so 80 years after the war has concluded. They’ve had three generations to clean up the mess and modernize their industry, and they actually have done a reasonably good job. We don’t need to subsidize them anymore. Let their own people work hard. Let them stop taking six week vacations and nine month leave when a couple has babies. Let them actually work for a living like we do so that they can pay the extra taxes to provide for their very own self-defense. Or, maybe, they will wake the hell up and realize that social welfare systems bankrupt countries, and start dismantling it by sending a bunch of unemployed and ungrateful Middle Eastern foreigners back to where they came from.

Time will certainly tell

People celebrating potential
“Peace in the Middle East” truly
do not understand exactly what will
happen when a certain man confirms
the ‘Peace and Security’ for 2,520 days

What she said was important enough for brevity to be cast aside. Far too many msm educated viewers out there that need to be enlightened by facts, not simplistic sound bites.

All perfectly feasible when the participating governments are realistic and rational.

And then there’s Islam. We’ll see what we see WHEN, not IF, Iran blows this. On our part we have to wield the stick after the carrot fails. If we don’t we’re “all hat and no cattle” - all credibility blown and the hard work to build it wasted.
