Just a reminder- we're only seven months into President Trump's four year term.

Hard to believe he's done this much in the first 1/8 of his term.

President Trump barely gives us time to catch our breath before he’s doing even more outstanding things.

It’s awesome to see.

It has been a wild ride.
I can’t wait to see what he does next week!

I think it’s part of the master plan. After sleepy joe’s tenure most of the media and the Democratic Party were asleep at the wheel. Now President Trump is kicking America into high gear and the press and the dems can’t keep up!
AWESOME!

National Guard mobilizing up to 1,700 troops in 19 states amid immigration, crime crackdown

https://nypost.com/2025/08/23/...illegal-immigration/

Up to 1,700 National Guardsmen are set to mobilize in 19 states in the coming weeks to assist the Department of Homeland Security with President Trump’s nationwide crackdown on illegal immigration and crime, Pentagon officials confirmed to FOX News.

Documents obtained by FOX News show planning for activations in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wyoming – with status effective from August through mid-November.

Texas is projected to host the most significant Guard presence.

The National Guard soldiers being mobilized will effectively serve as a support pillar to a sweeping federal interagency effort, while also serving as a visible deterrent force, a US Defense official said.

The service members supporting ICE will be preforming case management, transportation, logistical support, and clerical functions associated with the processing of illegal migrants at the facilities. “The in-and-out processing may include personal data collection, fingerprinting, DNA swabbing and photographing of personnel in ICE custody,” the official said.

President Trump has indicated in recent days his administration aims to broaden the DC operation to other states, telling a group of federal agents and National Guard troops at a DC patrol center Thursday, “We’re going to make it safe, and we’re going to then go on to other places.”

On Friday in the Oval Office, Trump said, “I think Chicago will be our next. And then we’ll help with New York,” Trump said.

A US Defense official told FOX, “We won’t speculate on further operations, but can tell you that the department is a planning organization and continues to work and plan with other agency partners to protect federal assets and personnel.”

Fewer than 2% of the authorized forces have mobilized so far, but missions coordinated under state governors are projected to expand in the coming weeks – including in Virginia, where approximately 60 soldiers and airmen will begin training August 25th to begin duty by early September, the Virginia National Guard confirmed.

“VNG personnel will not conduct law enforcement functions, and VNG support will not include making arrests,” a spokesperson for the Virginia National Guard tells FOX. “VNG Soldiers and Airmen will report directly to ICE leadership at their assigned duty locations but remain under the control and direction of the Virginia Governor and Adjutant General of Virginia.”

The deployment of National Guard troops — a state-controlled reserve force — will allow the US military to provide a more direct role in supporting federal immigration enforcement amid as the Trump administration pushes forward with mass deportations of criminal illegal aliens.

Under the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, use of the military for civilian law enforcement is limited – but the National Guardsmen will be mobilizing under Title 32 Section 502F authority, to which Posse Comitatus does not apply.

At the request of DHS, in July, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth approved hundreds of additional forces for DHS-ICE Interior Enforcement support, and switched existing approvals from Title 10 to Title 32 status.

“We understood ICE’s needs at that time to be more administrative in nature…as planning continued, working with our partners, it became clear more that ICE needed something different,” a US defense official told FOX.

And what an amazing 7 months it has been; a real whirlwind!

While he is engaged in all this winning, it makes one wonder what he isn't doing that previous Presidents spent all their time on. POTUS is a full time 24/7 job that wears a man out fast. DJT is accomplishing things which no previous POTUS has had any success with, and whipping the administrative branch back into positive productivity, all while being an effective Commander in Chief.

His energy and time management skills are off the charts.

What Trump's not doing is morning nap, ice cream, another nap, dinner, a little TV, early to bed. Repeat.

I think most previous Presidents saw becoming President as the end goal, rather than a means to an end.

Not to take anything away from the Prez, but he had 4 years to warm up and learn the job, and another 4 years to engage in "lessons learned" and formulate a plan on what to do and how to do it. One of his strengths is choosing the right people for their job. He wasn't experienced in politics, so made some mistakes his first term, but he figured it out.

Politicians in general would prefer to do nothing. It's safe as they can't be blamed for a failure. Working towards some lofty goal with slow bureaucratic plodding, cocktail parties, endless meetings and many, many consultations is much more rewarding for them.
Trump wants to get things done RIGHT NOW. It's a stark contrast and hopefully there are some others willing to take up the mantle.

He has brought in an outstanding staff of people to carry his torch and get their jobs done, unlike previous Administrations. His Goals are OUR Goals and his Administration reflects that.

He stated it last year campaigning- he only has four years to straighten out the mess Obama and Biden created and to put American back on track. And he is very aware of his lifespan, especially after the shooting. There are hundreds of things he wants to do, big and small, and he has to work quickly, efficiently.

And praying for conservative-majority-resulting midterm elections to turn EO's into law.

Sad to say that we have that NOW. His goals and the overwhelming majority of voters proved it.
The stinking rinos are the problem! Too worried that going along with America’s wishes and desires will hurt their re-election. Bye bye rinos, I hope the primaries screw you to the wall!
To hell with those clowns.

And take Jerome with you...

No shit. The president of The United States of America can actually fire one of the administration just because they’re a crook? Son of a bitch…

That photo of Cook the crook speaks for itself.
And its comments are damning.
