Trump designates TDA and MS-13 as terrorist organizations

Wednesday, January 22, 2025

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday to designate drug cartels and foreign criminal groups as terrorist organizations. The order singled out Mexican drug cartels and Latin American criminal gangs such as the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua and the Salvadoran Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) that, "threaten the safety of the American people, the security of the United States and the stability of the international order in the Western Hemisphere."

Yup.

If Mexico does not allow us to pursue anyone designated as a terrorist and that country cannot subdue them then we are now authorized to enter that country and eliminate the terrorist threat.

"Let's get this war, which never would have started if I were President, over with! We can do it the easy way, or the hard way " and the easy way is always better," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

"We can do it the easy way, or the hard way "

So is the Prince of Peace threatening war, AGAIN, or is he just being a loud mouth, AGAIN?

The correct answer is both.

You know, if there is a war, then kiss your eggs and hamburgers good bye.

You have never heard of the word "megalomaniac", have you.

Donald is a braggadocious bitch who is selling wolf tickets because he really does think he is a god.

I hope that you pay for his insanity first.

The same people who vehemently insist we shouldn't believe everything Trump says when he screws up are now telling us to believe everything Trump says.

And all of the folks that cried about the Patriot Act will step in line and cheer this as domestic law enforcement gets juiced with never ending terrorist declarations and "emergencies."

They'll quietly ignore Trump governing by abusing powers meant for extraordinary times.

Will stand here and say it was an abuse of power just like everyone on the left said.... Until the left didn't say it anymore... You gave up your right to speak about freedom when you cheered on everyone losing their job over a shot. Show yourself out Dr. Dipschitt.
