MORNING GLORY: The president ends 2025 with a clear declaration of the Trump doctrine

Chris Whipple had an 'agenda' to send a message to confirm views about Trump: Hugh Hewitt Fox News contributor Hugh Hewitt examines the Vanity Fair article written about White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles on 'Sunday Night in America.' America has many allies in what promises to be a decades-long Cold War 2.0 between the U.S. and its allies and the alliance of tyrants, led by the People’s Republic of China’s Xi Jinping , Russia’s Vladimir Putin, Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un. This quartet of dictators has some fourth-string powers allied with it in our hemisphere, like Venezuela’s Maduro and Cuba’s Miguel Díaz-Canel, who succeeded the Castro brothers (though Raul is still doddering around at 94 with some influence.) President Donald Trump is in the process of securing the Western Hemisphere against this alliance by placing a quarantine on Maduro’s oil and drug exports from Venezuela. Cuba can only export sugar and secret police and is already in an advanced state of economic collapse. It is heavily dependent on Venezuelan oil, and the spigot for that has been turned off by 45-47. Xi, Putin and Khamenei can’t live forever, and succession battles within tyrannies are never guaranteed to run smoothly for the bad guys. So the United States, already in possession of the most powerful military in the world, is modernizing it - especially its navy - and can count on its allies around the world to contain "the evil-doers," as President George W. Bush once memorably and accurately put it. TRUMP DOCTRINE SLAMS GLOBALISM AND CHARTS A TOUGHER, TECH-DRIVEN US FUTURE President Trump’s willingness to use deadly and overwhelming force in defense of Americans was on display over the past few days as he ordered the Pentagon to pummel elements of ISIS remaining in Syria that had dared kill Americans. The president has also put the screws on Venezuela’s Maduro and the network of narco-terrorists of which he is a part. Our allies are very much in the effort to keep Ukraine standing against the savagery of Putin, and while President Trump has tried again and again to bring Putin to the table, the Russian dictator isn’t budging from his imperial ambitions. China has always played the long game, thinking in centuries, not generations or decades. To Xi, President Trump presents a formidable deterrent to his ambitions for three more years. The president has the great asset of being very unpredictable. The ruins of Iran’s nuclear program are a testament to that, and Operation Midnight Hammer, which crushed the mullahs' underground nuclear weapons facilities, is the certain guarantee that the second Trump term is already a success. That single order to send the B-2s will never not be significant in world history because it kept the most powerful weaponry known to mankind out of the grips of theocrats with a crazed "end-times" theology. The world has breathed so much easier since June 22, 2025. Our allies are many and varied and spread across the...
