Tag Donald Trump

Everything Chomcho publishes about Donald Trump and the foreign policy of his second term is gathered under this tag. The articles follow the president’s decisions on Iran, China, NATO, the Strait of Hormuz, trade and the southern border, and explain the geopolitics behind each of them in plain language. You will find analysis of his deterrence strategy, his handling of allies who free ride and adversaries who test American resolve, and the results his pressure produces on the ground. This is the record of an America First presidency judged by outcomes rather than by the headlines of the legacy media, and by what every move means for the American people.

France Wildfires: 375 Arrests Destroy the Climate Narrative

The France wildfires of 2026 now have a police file: 375 people arrested, 142 of them minors, while the media kept blaming climate change. Nine of ten fires are caused by humans, and about 30 percent are set on purpose. From Spain to Greece, the pattern repeats, and the climate change narrative burns faster than the forests it blames.

China’s Strategic Oil Reserves: Quiet Cut Prevented Oil from Reaching $200

China quietly cut oil imports by five million barrels a day after the Strait of Hormuz closed. The move absorbed most of Asia’s shortfall and kept prices from reaching $200. China oil reserves, estimated at 1,300 to 1,400 million barrels, proved far larger and more flexible than Western stockpiles. The United States released over 100 million barrels from its Strategic Petroleum Reserve while Beijing conserved its buffer.

New UK Prime Minister Burnham: Chosen Without a Single Vote

Prime Minister Burnham took office one month after returning to Parliament, with no opponent and no vote by anyone. See his full chronology, what changes and what stays the same for Britain, and how his selection fits a recent pattern already seen in Brussels with von der Leyen and in Washington with Kamala Harris. Facts first, then our take.

Founders Foreign Policy: From the Shores of Tripoli to the Strait of Hormuz

The Founders were not isolationists. They were global traders who guarded their political sovereignty jealously. Washington, Jefferson, and Monroe built a foreign policy compass that still points true 250 years later. From the Barbary Coast to the Strait of Hormuz, the principles endure. Founders foreign policy and America First share the same principles, separated only by history.
