President Donald Trump never has exhibited a difficulty meddling with the status quo. After all, he designated that body of water east of Mexico as the “Gulf of America.” He added his own name to the “Kennedy” Center. He’s torn down the East Wing at the White House with construction already under way on a new ballroom there.
He’s pushed America’s NATO allies to carry more of the load, he worked to make trade deals more fair to Americans, and most recently he’s moved to take out the possibility that Iran’s rogue Islamic regime ever can blackmail the world again.
Speaking at the Future Investment Initiative Summit in Miami Beach he also delivered another blow to Middle East radicals.
“We’re negotiating [over those disputes] now, and it would be great if we could do something, but they have to open it up. They have to open up the Strait of Trump—I mean Hormuz. Excuse me, I’m so sorry. Such a terrible mistake.”

He pointed out for 47 years, Iran “has been known as the bully of the Middle East – but they are not the bully any longer.” Iran attempted to shut down the strait, through which a good portion of the world’s oil supplies pass, to inflict damage around the globe.
No longer can the Islamic rogues impose “nuclear blackmail” on the world, he said.

He pointed out he took out Iran’s Islamic chief Qasem Soleimani during his first term in office, and ended up perceiving that other Iranians leaders were pleased.
“He was so powerful that I really think that the leadership of Iran was extremely happy when I took him out, but they don’t say that — but nobody’s going to be asking them anymore because they’re not here either.”

He couldn’t let a public speaking opportunity pass, either, without calling out Democrats in Congress for refusing to fund America’s Department of Homeland Security, which includes airport security measures, the Coast Guard, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and more.
The Democrats’ refusal stems from their opposition to Trump’s work to secure the border and crack down on illegal alien criminals in America.
They are demanding vast new restrictions on federal officers who are carrying out those duties, including putting them under the thumb on local judges who sometimes are politically active in their opposition to the president.
.@POTUS: “For 42 days, [Democrats] have tried to completely eliminate funding for the number one duty of government, which is keeping America Safe. They want no ICE, they want no Border Patrol… re-opening our Borders and stopping all immigration enforcement in our country.” pic.twitter.com/0EnY9eaHkB

He said, citing multiple regional wars his negotiations already have ended, he hopes to have a legacy as a peacemaker.
.@POTUS: “I know it doesn’t sound right for me to say this, but I’d love my legacy to be made as a great peacemaker — because I really believe I’m a peacemaker. It doesn’t seem it right now, but I think I’m a peacemaker.” pic.twitter.com/NYQSt8wLsv

A report at RedState commented, “If he can pull off what he’s trying to do now with Iran, he could end the 47 years of threats and killings, and as an outgrowth, have a friendly government in charge. That could cinch him a legacy of truly having made the world better, while being in the best interests of America’s security.”
