On Friday, 2024 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump released a video focused on the protection of America’s homeland and the expansion of the armed forces. The former president proposed a bold plan to create a missile defense dome to protect the homeland from attacks with hypersonic missiles and nuclear weapons.
“Under Joe Biden, the world has become vastly more dangerous and there is no greater danger than the deadly menace of nuclear weapons and hypersonic missiles,” Trump began. “Hypersonic missiles move at many times the speed of sound and six times faster than current missiles.”
“Armed with nuclear weapons they could annihilate entire cities and even countries within minutes and we cannot let this happen,” he warned, adding, “If you take a look right now, the nuclear word is being mentioned all the time. This is a word that you’re not allowed to use.”
“It was never used during the Trump administration but now other countries are using that word against us because they have no respect for our leadership,” President Trump explained. “World War III would be a catastrophe unlike any other. This would make World War I and World War II like very small battles.”
In 2022 alone, the isolated dictatorship of North Korea fired more missiles than any year on record, according to CNN. The stark contrast between President Biden and President Trump is clear. In 2019, President Trump launched unprecedented negotiations with the hermit kingdom and became the first U.S. President to enter the country.
“The best way to ensure that such a conflict never happens is to be prepared with unmatched technology and unrivaled strength,” the former president continued, adding, “when I am commander-in-chief, we did an awfully good job at rebuilding our military. We rebuilt our entire military.”

“Once again I will work with Congress and our great military leaders, not the ones you see on television I don’t consider them leaders, but we are going to work with them to build a state-of-the-art, next-generation missile defense shield,” he promised. “Just as Israel is protected by the Iron Dome, a dream once thought impossible, America must have an impenetrable dome to protect our people. We worked with Israel to develop that dome.”
“We relied on us, not just them, they relied on us. We have technology that is unsurpassed. But our past leaders haven’t really wanted to use it,” Trump stated. “I rebuilt our military to a level that nobody thought possible but we must now go that further step. We must be able to defend our homeland, our allies, and our military assets around the world from the threat of hypersonic missiles no matter where they are launched from.”
“Our adversaries must understand that they, not the United States, would be totally destroyed if they ever dared to launch missiles against our homeland. The Space Force, which was inaugurated under my leadership, will have a very vital role to play. It was such an important thing we did,” Trump continued. “The Democrats fought us all the way but we got it passed. First time in 79 years, a new force.”
“Just as I rebuilt our military, especially our nuclear capabilities, I will build a shield to defend America from missile attack,” Trump said in conclusion. “We will have peace through strength and that’s what we had. We had no wars during the Trump administration, we had no wars remember that. Because we were strong. The other side knew it and they didn’t want to play games and they didn’t want to mess around.”
As President Trump continues to lay out policy priorities for his next administration, Americans should applaud Trump’s forward-thinking and bold leadership to defend the homeland as he did in his first term. A second term of the Trump presidency would surely bring about an America that is stronger, more respected, and more powerful than at any point in the country’s history.
Gotta get into power first,
THEN just do it.
Talking about it gives the other side your plans.
Iron Dome is already in existence..and testing continues.
Ye3ah he made a real difference in how North Korea behaves...NOT.
Trump’s foreign policy in regards to North Korea and Russia was excellent and much more common sense than the Biden approach.
Trump made a BIG difference, until Biden took office, that is.
OK
A lot better than Resident Bidet’s War through Weakness
He just needs to keep things a bit closer to the vest.
Broadcasting plans to the enemy is not good
Keep pushing the envelop retread troll.
I’m not smearing Trump; I just would like him to not broadcast his plans.
Get in there first, and then go for broke. Don’t tip off the other side so they’ll already have plans in place.
He did great things even with all the resistance he met.
For my part, there’s a difference between “not supporting him” and just wanting him to do some basic COMSEC.
Never said I wouldn’t back the man.
All his coup producing enemies are still alive and thriving because Trump would not fight them
It’s not easy to fight an enemy when you don’t know exactly who they are… He got stabbed in the back by so many people that he thought were trustworthy and dependable.
I think that’s attributable to the fact that he’s not a politician… Just a decent guy that decided to get involved and try to save what he loves.
I hope he learned a lot about how to deal with them this time around. And deals with them accordingly.
