Trump's Commitment to Addressing Campus Radicalization:
Donald Trump, during his campaign and presidency, promised to hold universities accountable for not stopping anti-Semitic and violent protests.
He specifically targeted Columbia University, which faced significant anti-Semitic protests following Hamas's attack on Israel.


#FederalFunding Cuts:
The Trump administration announced the rescission of over $400 million in federal grants to Columbia University due to its failure to address rising anti-Semitism on campus.
A comprehensive review of more than $5 billion in federal grant money to Columbia is underway, with potential for further cuts.


#ICE Arrests and Deportations:
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested a pro-Palestinian activist at Columbia University, with plans to revoke visas and deport individuals involved in violent protests.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the administration would revoke visas and green cards of Hamas supporters in the U.S.


Economic Policies and Job Market Impact:
The Trump administration's policies have led to an increase in job gains for native-born Americans and a decrease in employment for foreign-born workers.
Trump emphasized the importance of putting Americans first in the job market, contrasting his policies with those of the Biden administration.


#Greenland Proposal:
Trump reiterated his interest in Greenland, proposing to invest billions and create new jobs if Greenlanders chose to join the United States.
The proposal faced resistance from Greenland's Prime Minister, but Trump remained focused on the strategic importance of Greenland.

Operation Hawkeye
A large-scale U.S. military strike targeting ISIS fighters, infrastructure, and weapons sites across more than 70 locations in Syria.
Ordered by President Trump in response to an ambush that killed two U.S. service members and a civilian interpreter.

Over 100 precision strikes aimed at ISIS logistics, command centers, and storage depots to minimize collateral damage.
Coalition involvement: Jordanian jets participated, showing multinational cooperation.


Casualties and Context
Attack followed the killing of two Iowa National Guard soldiers and a civilian translator during a meeting near Palmyra, Syria.
U.S. dignified transfer ceremony at Dover Air Force Base attended by President Trump.


Strategic Impact
Intended to degrade ISIS operational capabilities and deter future attacks.
Reinforces Trump’s doctrine: Any attack on U.S. personnel will be met with overwhelming force.
Broader campaign includes previous strikes in Somalia targeting ISIS leadership.

Operation Hawkeye-ISIS Gets Front-Row Seats to Shock and Awe 2.0!

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/f593780a-9086-47de-bc9b-b3ac0065dbed/transcript

Inflation Drop as a Surprise
Inflation fell sharply to 2.7%, described as a “tumble” rather than a gradual decline.
This is a direct contradiction to warnings from economists and political opponents who predicted Trump’s policies would cause inflation to spike.


Energy Dominance
Major factor behind falling inflation.
Trump administration rolled back federal barriers, accelerated drilling approvals, and signaled a return to energy independence.
Lower energy costs reduced transportation, manufacturing, and distribution expenses, creating economy-wide benefits.


Tariffs and Trade Policy
Critics claimed tariffs would raise consumer prices and cause supply chain chaos.
Document asserts the opposite happened:

Foreign producers absorbed costs.
No empty shelves or shortages.
American manufacturing expanded, reducing reliance on foreign inputs.
Tariffs framed as “targeted leverage” restoring fairness without harming consumers.


Deregulation
Reduced compliance costs and bureaucratic delays.
Businesses saved money, accelerated product delivery, hired more workers, and kept prices lower.
Introduces concept of “invisible inflation”—costs from regulation that Trump eliminated.


Confidence & Market Psychology
Inflation partly psychological; Trump restored confidence.
Businesses invested, consumers stopped panic buying, markets stabilized.
Fiscal discipline signals (cutting wasteful spending, controlling federal programs) reassured investors.


Overall Impact
Inflation decline attributed to:

Energy independence.
Smart tariffs.
Deregulation.
Confidence restoration.
Fiscal restraint.
It's a “gigantic win” for lower and middle-class families.
