I am proud to be an American, not just because our nation has lasted 250 years with great success under the same charter, but because of our positive influence around the world.<\/p>

In World War I, we turned the tide in favor of the Allied forces.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In World War II, Nazi totalitarianism would have won, but the United States bolstered Allied forces overseas and in the European theater. Japanese aggression throughout Southeast Asia, from 1931 to 1945, ended because of America. We dropped two atomic bombs on their homeland, and we forced their surrender.<\/p>\n

The Cold War was the longest conflict. Yes, there were fewer battles, but many sanctions, lots of threats, and too many incursions and expansions of communist influence around the world. The United States stood firm against the Soviet Union and its satellites. President Nixon\u2019s rapprochement with China and Reagan\u2019s tough diplomacy hastened the Soviet Union\u2019s decline.<\/p>\n

The world received an unexpected Christmas gift on December 25, 1991, when Mikhail Gorbachev declared the official dissolution of the Soviet Union.<\/p>\n

North Korea still embraces its Stalinist cause, but faces increasing isolation, forcing them to allow increased economic liberalism.\u00a0 China incorporated market reforms while retaining its authoritarian regime, but a population implosion, weakening trade, and increased indebtedness are dooming the country.<\/p>\n

President Trump has increased the pressure on these rogue regimes, demanding economic freedom and political reforms. He has unchained American dependence on China, networked rapprochement between North Korea and South Korea, and resisted Putin\u2019s designs on Eastern Europe and the Caucasus Mountains. Indonesia and Vietnam have also become more friendly towards the United States. Freedom has a chance when nations begin to comply and cooperate with our country.<\/p>\n

While communism collapsed in Russia, it sadly relocated and re-emerged in Latin America. The cancer captured Cuba in 1958, then spread through Central and South America. Cartels and gangs filled the power vacuum, and Bush 41\u2019s arrest of Manuel Noriega barely stemmed the tide. Further south, Peronist socialism ruined Argentina for decades, and juntas furthered the political disorder and collapse of freedom on the continent.<\/p>\n

Latin America drowned in a red tsunami of communism during the early 2000s, as well. Bolivia floundered under the collectivist tyranny of the Evo Morales, and other Latin American states struggled to stay afloat in the midst of socialist machinations.<\/p>\n

Latin America looked done for. America could finish off the Soviet Union, but what could the United States do about our neighbors to the South? If Stalinist Cuba could withstand embargoes, and hostile states like Iran, Russia, and China could form working relationships to undermine the law of nations and public order across the globe, what hope was there that we could turn things around?<\/p>\n

President Trump has made all the difference through a savvy foreign policy regime while putting America First. Unlike previous presidents, Republican and Democrat, President Trump made immigration enforcement a cornerstone of his domestic and foreign policy. The free ride of cheap labor was over. He halted the teeming masses of upset refugees throughout the Americas from invading our country.<\/p>

The message became clear to southern partners, neighbors, and adversaries: \u201cThe answer to your problems in your country will not be solved by running to our country.\u201d Without the safe haven of the United States, the citizens of Central and South America had to look inward and turn their own countries around. They had to make do with their situation and find a way to restore order in their countries.<\/p>\n

Thus arose Nayib Bukele in 2019. The mayor of San Salvador, he campaigned for president with a new party with a bold, basic platform of restoring civility, shutting down the terrorist gangs and cartels. He defeated the establishment of both major parties and became a human savior for the nation of El Salvador, locking up the prisoners, restoring law and order, then inviting economic investment. Murder rates in the former crime capital of the world have declined immensely\u2014and he just won re-election by massive margins.<\/p>\n

Then Argentina voted for freedom in 2023. Having labored under unrelenting government intervention, Argentina\u2019s crippling inflation and moral collapse drove voters to take a chance on wily libertarian economics professor, Javier Milei. Adopting Trump\u2019s mission and messaging, Milei took a chainsaw to the state and \u201cthe caste\u201d of political insiders. Today, inflation is crashing, jobs are growing, and law and order is being restored. The new rallying cry across the Land of Silver: Viva La Libertad, Carajo!<\/p>\n

Milei credits Trump for his inspiration, and Trump 2.0 assisted Milei\u2019s congressional elections in 2025 with a credit swap, which netted the United States massive gains and helped Milei gain power in Argentina\u2019s Congress. He has passed effective economic reforms while cracking down on crime, stumping for life, family, and secured sovereignty.<\/p>\n

Amazing!<\/p>\n
