Trump’s ‘Project Freedom’ is less an act of liberation and more of a high-stakes detour into a strategic dead end.

Over 2000 ships in Trumps conga line. Ain't that cute.
Is there some DoorDash Uber Eats restaurant ship out there? 🚢 🌯🥪🍔🍳🌭
I like my faux war for oil extortion well marinated and topped with condiments

@ScubaDaveGSXRWhat’s project freedom? Oh yeah, doesn’t matter because it’s just words from a person who will say anything.
@jackmiland7805TACO TUESDAY
@TjBettencourtI thought he replaced 'Project Freedom' with 'Project 2025' the day he took office?
@CorvaireIt's over. It's not. It's open. It's not. Jesus .. pick one
@thechronicillnessdiaries2773America now looks even more inept and incompetent than anyone thought possible just days ago.

@QCutubewhy would you pause escorts when this is when they need escorts the most?
@christopherprovencher7353what a joke of a name
@OpalsJonesIt seems that Trump is either mentally disturbed or more interested in manipulating the stock market, than putting an end to this War! Because if the reason for this War is to destroy Iran's Nuclear capabilities, what in the "Sam Hell", is Trump and Hegseth waiting on! The Strait never closed 9 months ago when Trump and Hegseth lied and said that they had obliterated Iran's Nuclear capabilities. And here we are, doing the same damn thing! Is this Groundhog Day or just a terrible dream. The American people are suffering for no good reason, while the cost of this War, is bleeding Billions out of the American people! And the thing that is making matters worse, Trump is now begging Congress to squeeze another billion out of the American Taxpayers, for a damn Ballroom, when that same billion, could be used to cover Obama Care Subsidies for the millions of uninsured Americans, who are sick and dying without Healthcare coverage! INCREDIBLE!
@RickeyDLoveAnother proud, TACO moment😂
@ahmadjawadhassaan4462Gawd this guy sucks so bad.
1:05 nah, what the president would prefer is that we all go broke and have to accept bs low paying jobs so his buddies can all rake in cash
Trump is going soft in the head. You CANNOT cut a deal with the Islamic lunatics running the country.
@MarkMeeks-y7vWhat’s more pathetic, these laughable claims, or the fact that these propaganda organizations are “reporting” on them. The shame these readers, oh I mean “reporters” must have 👎
@gunzybI support the POTUS, but he's starting to remind me of Charlie Brown, and Iran is Lucy with the football. Gullible.
@Gizmo-o8g2zIt should be called Project Freedumb…Wow, the ADHD flip flopping is a sight to behold. America has under Trump become both the laughingstock and 24-7 horror show of the world. Regime change is direly needed in the United States 🙏🏽☮️🌎
@petermongayahogsholm3884Another pause? First it’s a go then a pause. Over and over again. What the hell is going on now?
@KrisFlixHe should start operation epic freedom
@1har2vey3The deal is reparations for the victims and jailing Netanyahu.
@NolinkpleaseSo expect gas prices to raise again!
@NoddNupWow these comments are somthing else
@bradmeyers2103Operation T A C O!
@Elsiete-o5vSo a forever war packaged as something else.
@Botchedoperations99There's no sense in even playing the audio when Trump speaks. It's all lies and id rather hear the truth
@StreetDisciple86You shouldn’t have started this war if you wanted peace! This entire government is an embarrassment!
@frontlinefirstI thought they said Project Freedom was separate from the War?
@harryharris1619More like Project $hit show.
@kurtbrisch5776Well it is TACO Tuesday 😂😂😂
@JesusIsMagicThe man knows how to break things, he just doesn't have a clue how to fix anything. When you hire a draft dodger who can't run a casino and a tv host with a drinking problem to run things, what could possibly go wrong? They're playing him like a fiddle and the world is laughing. But what is scary, they are also watching and they now know how vulnerable we are. Do we have any missiles left for protection? Do you feel safer tonight? I know, lets build a ballroom and instead of the rich guys paying for it, WE get to pay for it and not 400,000, let's make it a BILLION!! That's the ticket, oh and while we're at it, how 'bout an arch? Now that will make America great again. Nobody needs gas or groceries. Sigh.................
@BirdYoumansNegotiating with terrorists never ends well.
