WHAT TRUMP JUST DID (AND WHY THE WORLD’S SHAKING FROM IT)

While the Left obsessed over headlines and gender pronouns, President Donald J. Trump spent the last 7 days doing what real leaders do: saving lives, reasserting America’s power, and getting results.

Here’s everything they don’t want you to know:

1. He Stopped a Nuclear War Between India and Pakistan

Things got hot in Kashmir. Really hot. Both sides were mobilizing. Nukes were on the table.

Trump stepped in. Quietly. Firmly. And brought both sides back from the edge.

Pakistan thanked him publicly. India pretended they did it alone — but insiders know who made the calls that saved the world.

That’s not diplomacy. That’s deterrence with teeth.

2. He’s Bringing Putin to the Negotiating Table

There’s a peace summit being arranged in Turkey. Ukraine’s in. Russia’s sending delegates. Trump says he’ll go himself.

Just his presence is enough to move the needle. Putin, for the first time, isn’t slamming the door shut.

Biden couldn’t even get a voicemail returned. Trump is reshaping the battlefield by showing up.

3. He Hammered China — Got Them to Blink

Trump forced China to the table:
• 90-day pause in the tariff war
• Immediate cuts to key tariffs
• A crackdown on fentanyl exports to the U.S.

Let’s be clear: Trump’s the first American president to actually get China to move on fentanyl. Not talk. Not task forces. Action.

4. $600 Billion Saudi Investment Secured

In Riyadh, Trump locked down the biggest economic deal in U.S.–Saudi history:
• $142 billion arms deal (massive boost to U.S. manufacturing)
• Over $600 billion in new investments into American infrastructure, energy, and tech

It’s a triple win: jobs, energy independence, and a Middle East that fears us again — not the other way around.

5. $200 Billion Boeing Deal from Qatar

Trump helped land a mega-contract between Qatar Airways and Boeing for 210 jets — worth over $200 billion.

That deal:
• Revives Boeing
• Puts Americans back to work
• Strengthens our aerospace edge over China

And it wouldn’t have happened under a DEI-obsessed, apology-driven administration.

6. He Lifted Sanctions on Syria — With a Hidden Blow to Iran

Trump lifted select U.S. sanctions on Syria — but only after securing conditions to:
• Expel Iranian-backed militias
• Rebuild with Gulf money, not Russian or Iranian influence

It’s a strategic strike against Iran’s grip on the region. He didn’t fire a missile. He just cut their legs out from under them with deals and pressure.

7. He Brought the Last American Hostage Home from Gaza

While Biden stood back and hoped, Trump made a direct diplomatic push through Egypt and Qatar to get the final American hostage — a 26-year-old aid worker — released from Hamas.

And he succeeded. Quietly. No ransom. No deal with terrorists. Just leverage.

This wasn’t just a headline. This was a message: You harm an American, you pay.

8. Gas, Groceries, and Eggs — All Cheaper This Week

Thanks to Trump’s trade wins and Middle East diplomacy:
• National gas average dropped to $3.13
• Grocery prices fell 0.4% — biggest drop in 5 years
• Egg prices crashed 12.7% — fastest decline since 1984

This isn’t stimulus checks. This is real economic policy that works.

9. Inflation Is Cooling, Markets Are Up
• CPI is holding steady at 2.3%
• S&P 500 just passed 5,900 — fully rebounding
• Investor confidence is roaring back

People are finally catching their breath again.

10. He Just Cracked the Back of Big Pharma

Trump signed an executive order that:
• Ties drug prices to what countries like Canada and Germany pay
• Forces direct-to-consumer pricing
• Cuts middlemen out of the equation

Drug prices may drop 30–80%. And for once, the courts can’t block it.

11. Doubled Down on School Choice

He declared Charter Schools Week and reminded every American parent: Your kid’s future belongs to you — not some woke school board.

12. 150 Executive Orders and Counting

In just over 100 days, Trump has:
• Dismantled Biden’s DEI infrastructure
• Streamlined bloated federal agencies
• Relaunched energy independence
• Cut off foreign influence in domestic policy

This is what rebuilding America looks like — brick by brick, signature by signature.

THE BOTTOM LINE:

In one week, Trump:
• Averted a nuclear war
• Brought Putin to the table

Welcome to Gaza.chat

@realDonaldTrump has lifted sanctions on Syria. Does anyone still doubt that this man is a force for good?

He is also in talks with Iran and the Houthis, he is allowing Saudi Arabia to have a nuclear programme without recognising Israel and he is negotiating directly with Hamas which has resulted in the releaese of the last American/Israeli hostage just two days ago.

Most importantly he has also said “we’ve got to be good to Gaza. Those people are suffering. We’re gonna take care of that. There’s a very big need for medicine and food and we’re taking care of that. We are pushing the Israelis.”

This represents a dramatic and significant shift in U.S. foreign policy and it is commendable.

God is using this man to bring peace and justice to the Middle East and indeed to the wider world (e.g. his efforts to end the India/Pakistan war and Ukraine/Russia conflict) just as I said he would.
Slowly but surely things are getting better.

@netanyahu must be very worried because Israel has been isolated. Glory be to God!
