Secretary Rubio was asked about President Macronâs claim that the world is returning to the âlaw of the jungle,â and about whether talk of annihilating countries means âinternational normsâ are collapsing.
His answer was đ¤ because yes - the âinternational rules based orderâ run by globalist elites IS DEAD. Thanks to President Trump.
"At the end of the day, as long as President Trump is in office, the United States will always act in the national interest of our country â not in the interest of the international order. We will NEVER put the international order above the interest of the United States."
"The international system is not in good shape right now. These âinternational normsâ people talk about have a limit â and that limit is your national interest.
From the very beginning, the view of this administration has been that the number one obligation of every government is the national interest of its own country.
The United States sees the utility in the international system. Weâre here. The President has said the United Nations has tremendous potential, but itâs not living up to it.
And itâs a curious thing â multiple leaders at this gathering pointed to the same fact: the international system is failing.
Itâs failing because it has grown beyond its mandate. Itâs grown beyond its intent. Itâs involved in all kinds of things it shouldnât be involved in, and itâs unable to solve virtually any major conflict in the world.
Thereâs broad consensus here that the system is broken. But it broke itself. It needs to be brought back to its proper focus and its proper role.
It would be great if we had a functional international system that could deal with a war between Thailand and Cambodia, a potential conflict between India and Pakistan, whatâs going on in the DRC and Rwanda, whatâs going on in Sudan, or whatâs going on with Iran in the Straits.
Right now, we donât.
And in the absence of that, nation-states will act in their national interest."

An understated dynamic regarding the pathetic cuckery from turncoats like David French and Erick Erickson (and many others, including Jonah Goldberg) is that their heel turn was driven more by resentment and a desperate need for secular approval than it was by ideology or political partisanship or any sort of actual concern for the country or its people.
Both saw themselves as national thought leaders with huge fame and notoriety and influence. Neither was true, but that fiction was key to their core identities. And then Trump arrived, embarrassed them, and showed them to be powerless and irrelevant. He became president, they faded away, and worst of all: nobody really noticed that they were gone.
Trump, and by extension his voters, defrocked them and showed their entire sense of self to be fraudulent. They reacted and lashed out in the same utterly broken and delusional way a transgendered kook responds when being told you canât change your sex and no youâre not a woman.
There is no greater crime in the eyes of a delusional person than to expose the delusion. And no one in politics is better at brutally unmasking people than Donald Trump.
Both French and Erickson have always been desperate to be feted as celebrity political figures. Erickson looked in the mirror and saw Rush Limbaugh. French looked in the mirror and saw a president staring back at him. Trump so thoroughly and publicly crushed their dreams and exposed their impotence that they have never forgiven him, or anyone who voted for him and made him president. Twice.
And so now their lives revolve entirely around a man they detest to the point where their personal
compasses direct them not to a fixed point, but to the opposite direction of wherever Trump or his supporters are headed. Their hatred of him has made them so deranged that their lives are now directed entirely by him, if only by inversion.
But they have now finally found their precious, the One True Ring that gives them what they always desires: head pats and retweets from Jake Tapper and the New York Times. There is nothing more intoxicating to the conservative turncoat than Strange New Respect.
To the extent theyâre even aware of how theyâre being used, they donât care. The high of finally getting patted on the bottom and told theyâre special by the same media elite who quietly smirked when Charlie Kirk was killed is too much to resist.
And thatâs how you end up with Erick Erickson using the same rhetoric and tactics that Antifa uses to target violence against white Christians, and with David French defending perverted sexual deviants twerking on children in libraries as âa blessing of liberty.â
Ideology was only ever their vehicle for fame and notoriety, which is why they were so easily able to do a 180 on what they had sworn were their core values. The only core value they ever had was a desire for attention and approval. Itâs so obvious in hindsight that you almost have to kick yourself for not seeing it at the time.
Once Donald Trump shut down the avenue for any of that fame and positive reinforcement from the Right, they turned right around and begged for it from the Left.
Because it was never about ideology or core beliefs. All they ever wanted was attention.

Trumpâs Top 25 Achievements: The List Every Conservative Should Know and Use
Donald Trump doesnât have an accomplishment problem. Republicans have an information problem. Itâs on each of us to change that.
With the midterms coming, an astonishing number of Republican voters cannot name three things President Trump has accomplished. Which is remarkable when you consider that Donald Trump has accomplished more in a year and a half than any other president ever did in four.
Indeed, he has accomplished so much, so fast, across so many fronts that most people cannot keep up. The Enemedia buries the victories, while Republicans do an abysmal job of explaining them.
So here is the cheat sheet. It barely scratches the surface. And yet each and every item here is a game-changer, and your befuddled black-pilling friends need to know it.
This is not a list of promises. Itâs a list of laws enacted, cases won, policies implemented, agreements secured, and measurable results.
You donât have to memorize all 25. Learn five. And when somebody says Trump âhasnât done much,â show them the receipts.
Trump Restored American Safety and Sovereignty
1. He made the border a real border again.
In a matter of months, Trump reduced illegal border crossings to their lowest level in half a century. Catch-and-release is finished. The wall is going up and even being expanded, âRemain in Mexicoâ is back, and the Administration reduced releases into the country by an incredible 99.9 percent.
2. He reversed mass migration.
America recorded negative net migration in 2025 for the first time in at least half a century. So far, nearly 3 million illegal aliens have left the country, whether voluntarily or involuntarily: more than 675,000 forcibly deported and the rest âself-deported.â
Many of those self-deportations were facilitated by the Presidentâs innovative program to offer plane tickets and cash bonuses for illegals to leave, not only incentivizing good behavior but significantly reducing the cost of deportations. Citizenship and the law actually mean something again.
3. He signed the Laken Riley Act â and required detention of criminal illegal aliens.
Named for an innocent girl murdered by an illegal alien, the Laken Riley Act requires federal authorities to detain illegals arrested for theft, burglary, shoplifting, assaulting police, or any crime causing death or serious injury. It also lets states sue officials who refuse to enforce it.
Laken Riley should still be alive. This law will prevent tragedies like hers.
4. Historyâs biggest drop in violent crime, and the lowest violent crime rate in 126 years.
According to FBI data, violent crime in America dropped an incredible 9.7 percent in 2025 â the largest one-year decline in history. Murder fell 18.1 percent, robbery fell 18.5 percent. And Americaâs violent crime rate is its lowest since 1900.
This is what happens when you put the National Guard on the streets in crime-ridden blue cities: fewer victims, safer streets, and better futures for Americaâs poorest.
Trump Launched an American Industrial Supercycle
5. He made the 2017 tax cuts permanentâŚand better.
The One Big Beautiful Bill locked in the largest tax cut in modern history, including the doubled standard deduction, the expanded Child Tax Credit, and 100 percent expensing for factories and equipment. It also delivered No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Overtime, an abolition of most taxes on Social Security benefits, and major relief for seniors.
Every Democrat voted no. With the 2017 act set to expire in December 2025, that would have resulted in the largest tax hike in American history.
6. He repealed 129 regulations for every new one.
In fiscal 2025, federal agencies finalized 646 deregulatory actions and just five regulatory actions: 129-to-1, and in nearly every case, the âoneâ was to repeal the others! OIRA says the savings exceeded those of Trumpâs entire first term. That is more freedom, lower costs, and less bureaucratic sabotage.
Of these, the crown jewel was the repeal of Obamaâs 2009 âEndangerment Findingâ, the legal foundation for the Green New Scamâs vehicle mandates. EPA calls it the largest deregulatory action in American history and estimates that by itself, it will save Americans more than $1.3 trillion. Trump also killed the federal EV mandate, restored Americansâ freedom to buy the cars and trucks they actually want, and even eliminated the incentives behind the almost universally hated start-stop button.
7. He secured $18 trillion in announced investment commitments.
Thatâs nearly two-thirds the size of the entire American economy, building American factories, chip plants, data centers, energy projects, steel mills, shipyards, and supply chains employing American workers. Apple, Meta, NVIDIA, Micron, Hyundai, U.S. Steel, Ford, Taiwan Semiconductor, and many corporations and sovereign wealth funds are betting big on Trumpâs America.
No President has ever done anything remotely like it. And itâs just getting started.
8. He made âreshoringâ and âreindustrializationâ real, not a slogan.
Ford is moving Lincoln production out of China. Toyota is shifting Tacoma production from Mexico to Texas. GM, Honda, Mercedes-Benz, Stellantis, and others are expanding U.S. production. The capital equipment pouring into the country is the machinery thatâs building the growing boom.
9. He replaced lopsided trade deals with balanced, reciprocal trade.
Trump used tariffs as leverage to reverse 80 years of lopsided trade deals that favored everyone but America, and to win new or improved agreements with trading partners accounting for more than half of global GDP. Those agreements open foreign markets, attack non-tariff barriers, defend strategic industries, and make it more profitable to build in America than to export American jobs.
10. He shifted global energy dominance from the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of America.
Once the worldâs largest energy importer â âexportingâ $700 billion a year to our enemies â America now outproduces Saudi Arabia and Russia combined. The U.S. is also setting new records in oil, natural gas, and LNG exports, becoming the first country ever to export more than 100 million metric tons of LNG in a year.
Trump also opened land, accelerated permits, expanded pipelines and export terminals, and made American energy a tool for prosperity and peace.
11. After four decades of nuclear paralysis, Trump brought five new reactors online in a single year.
For more than 40 years, not one new privately developed non-light-water reactor reached criticality in America. Trump ordered at least three by July 4, 2026. DOE delivered four by the deadline, then a fifth just one month later.
Decades of zero. One Trump summer: five. That is a genuine nuclear renaissance.
Trump Made Elections Matter Again
12. He broke the Deep Stateâs power to defy the elected branches.
In Trump v. Slaughter, the Supreme Court ruled for the first time in 90 years that Article 2, Section 1 is still part of the Constitution: the President may fire subordinate officials in the executive branch, overturning the 1935 precedent that insulated âindependentâ agencies from votersâ control.
Ever wonder why elections often seem to change nothing? How about one President and 5,000 political appointees vs. 2.8 million unfireable, unaccountable bureaucrats? THAT is the âDeep Stateâ.
Trump then made that victory real. For the first time in a century, all policy-making bureaucrats can now be fired for misconduct, incompetence, or defying lawful directives. The permanent bureaucracy no longer gets to veto the voters.
13. He ended nationwide injunction abuse.
In Trump v. CASA, the Supreme Court sharply limited nationwide injunctions. A single, local, district judge should not be able to block a national policy for everyone, everywhere; and yet thatâs exactly what theyâve done, nonstop, ever since Trump (and only Trump) took office in 2017.
In restricting that unconstitutional power, the Court kneecapped the Black Robe Bureaucracyâs favorite tool of unlawful judicial supremacy.
14. He shut down USAID as a left-wing slush fund and shadow government.
USAID had become a taxpayer-funded machine for exporting abortion, gender ideology, censorship, and left-wing politics. It had a bigger budget than the CIA and the State Department combined, absolutely no accountability whatsoever, and a penchant for overthrowing governments.
Trump terminated it â completely â and moved real humanitarian aid under the State Department. Immediately, seven socialist Latin American governments lost re-election. Coincidence?
15. He shrank Federal employment to its lowest level in 60 years.
From a high under Biden, the federal workforce is now its smallest since 1966. Workforce reductions, agency closures, and spending cancellations mean fewer bureaucrats paid to resist the voters.
Whatâs more, when Biden left office, 94 percent of federal employees âworkedâ from home. The Trump administration cracked down: as Elon Musk put it, âyou can work from the office or you can pretend to work somewhere else.â
16. He expelled DEI from the federal government.
Trump eliminated federal DEI offices and barred race- and sex-based preferences across the executive branch. Government hiring and contracting are returning to merit and equality under the law, ending the grotesque Democrat idea that âfighting discriminationâ requires the federal government to discriminate.
He Defended Faith and Family
17. He delivered sweeping pro-life reform.
In his first term, Trump delivered the judges that overturned the abominable Roe v. Wade. Hardly anyone believed it could be done, or that Trump would do it. But he did, and a half-century nightmare finally ended.
Since returning to office, Trump has enforced the Hyde Amendment prohibiting the use of federal funds to pay for abortions, reinstated and expanded the Mexico City Policy prohibiting federal funding of foreign abortions, ended federal fetal-tissue research, strengthened conscience protections, protected Medicaid from funding large abortion providers, and pardoned 23 pro-life activists prosecuted by Bidenâs weaponized Justice Department.
Heâs also done everything within the Executive Branchâs power to defund Planned Parenthood. It would be nice if Congress did likewise.
No President has ever done more to protect life. No one.
18. He got men out of womenâs sports, and restored biological reality to federal policy.
The United States government once again officially recognizes two sexes: male and female. Trump ended federal support for the chemical and surgical gender mutilation of children, stopped taxpayer funding of such irreversible abominations, and forced more than three dozen health systems to end or suspend their programs as well.
Trump also enforced Title IX as written: women and girls deserve their own teams, trophies, scholarships, and locker rooms. The NCAA and other athletic organizations changed their rules in response. After years of Democrats doing everything they could to destroy womenâs sports and ruin girlsâ lives, Trumpâs administration protects women and girls again.
19. He enacted Americaâs first nationwide school-choice program â and launched Trump Accounts.
As part of the Presidentâs One Big Beautiful Bill, Trump enacted Americaâs first-ever nationwide school choice program. The new Education Freedom Tax Credit helps fund scholarships for tuition, books, and other educational costs.
Thatâs on top of the new Trump Accounts, which give every child a tax-advantaged stake in Americaâs future, including a $1,000 federal seed for eligible newborns. Parents gain power. Bureaucracies lose it. And children learn first-hand about free markets and future orientation.
20. He targeted anti-Christian bias and discrimination.
Trump created the White House Faith Office, Religious Liberty Commission, and Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias. He restored conscience protections and made clear that Christians do not surrender their First Amendment rights merely by entering public life.
He Restored Peace Through Strength and Put America First
21. He forced NATO to stop freeloading and increase defense spending by 250 percent.
For decades, wealthy European governments underfunded their militaries, effectively sending America the bill and using American taxpayers to subsidize their bloated welfare states. Trump forced NATO to replace its old two-percent-of-GDP spending target with an enormous five percent by 2035.
Allied spending is rising, American defense orders are soaring, and Europe is becoming a partner instead of a dependent.
22. He drove China out of the Caribbean.
China spent years building strategic beachheads at both ends of the Panama Canal, in Cuba, and in Maduroâs Venezuela. Trump forced Panama out of Belt and Road, expanded American security access around the Canal, and captured Maduro, who now sits in a New York jail cell awaiting trial.
Beijingâs planned encirclement of the United States collapsed. The Monroe Doctrine is back. Call it the Donroe Doctrine.
23. He brokered eight peace deals in just eight months.
In eight months, Trump brokered peace in eight conflicts spanning four continents, including wars that had gone on for as much as 40 years. Itâs a record unmatched by any other President.
24. He launched and funded Golden Dome, the first-ever true missile defense for the U.S. population.
Ronald Reagan dreamed of making nuclear missiles obsolete through his Strategic Defense Initiative. Today, Trump is actually building it: a layered homeland shield with space-based sensors and interceptors, conventional defenses, and new technologies including microwave systems to destroy drone swarms and directed-energy weapons (yes, lasers) that can replace an $11 million missile with $2 of electricity.
Congress has funded the initial $25 billion, with far more on the way once it passes the NDAA this fall. Better a shield than a sword.
25. He restored the warrior ethos â and reversed the recruiting crisis.
After years of missed targets under Biden, every active military component met or exceeded its 2025 recruiting goal. Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth refocused the newly renamed Department of War on actually winning wars, while pouring resources into shipbuilding, munitions, drones, missile defense, and Americaâs atrophied industrial base.
Young Americans once again believe their Commander-in-Chief is worth serving. And theyâre showing up en masse.
Now Act Like It Matters
Those are not tweets or campaign promises. They are changes in law, power, investment, sovereignty, culture, and the structure of the Republic itself. And theyâre just the top 25: I could give you hundreds more.
Midterms are turnout elections. We do not need to convince Democrats to love Donald Trump. We need Republicans and friendly independents to understand what is at stake â and to show up.
And letâs be clear. When you say (as some of you will) âthe Republicans need to do a good enough job telling this storyâ, youâre pointing at yourself. You are âthe Republicans.â The Democrats donât rely exclusively on their elected officials to tell their story: everyone from their media lackeys to their lowest-level supporters are constantly spreading their ânewsâ, whatever that ânewsâ happens to be.
Todayâs conservatives have more ability to find whatever you want to know than any group of people in human history, yet half of them couldnât name any of the accomplishments in this essay, and if they were to read it, they would just complain that something else they wanted hasnât happened fast enough to suit them.
This is called âblack-pilling.â Itâs a loser mindset, and if you engage in it, you deserve to lose: horribly, painfully, personally. And guess what: you will, unless people who are serious step up to save you. Which is frankly pathetic, but for the rest of our sakes, necessary.
So tell people our story. Donald Trump is delivering great things, whether or not heaven on earth has broken out quite yet. Do the work, send the team he needs to Washington to finish the job, and get ready for 2028 afterward.
Take the time to learn at least five of these victories. Share this list with someone who needs it. And vote as though the most consequential Presidency in modern history depends on what you do.
Because it does.

The American people are demanding immediate action from Congress on election integrity. Thatâs why the SAVE America Act is the first bill I am cosponsoring in the Senate.
These reforms are common sense and need to be enacted quickly. I look forward to working closely with @POTUS to get the SAVE America Act signed into law.
Ray Clark retweeted
Thatâs just not true.
No person would be turned away from voting.
Any person without documentation would be able to sign an attestation.
The SAVE America Act does NOT require proof of citizenship for those already registered to vote.
Why donât you suggest an amendment which would allow remote Alaskan voters to attach a copy of their proof of citizenship + photo ID to an absentee ballot?
Itâs completely disingenuous to say you donât have the time to implement the SAVE America Act
when you could have passed it last year.
Itâs equally as bad to say that you support photo ID & proof of citizenship when you wonât even offer suggestions for how to earn your support on this legislation.
Looks like Iâll have to travel to Alaska to ask the voters themselves.
I support voter ID and believe that only U.S. citizens should vote in our elections. But the SAVE America Act goes beyond that and provides no time for proper implementation. It would ultimately disenfranchise some Americans in rural communities, so I oppose it.

O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? đşđ¸

âAnd what about our sins? Slavery was the original sin, and I wonât sand it down. The founders knew it. Jefferson knew it, and he owned slaves â the hypocrisy was staring right at them, and they kept kicking the can down the road. But here is what a poisoned telling of our history leaves out: the New England colonies began rejecting slavery before England itself did. And when the reckoning finally came, hundreds of thousands of men died on battlefields to make other men free. âAs He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,â read the original lyrics of the Battle Hymn of the Republic. Thatâs propitiation. One man suffers so others go free. A nation that will bleed that much to right its own wrong is not an evil nation. It is a great one, straining toward becoming a more perfect one. We had a black president. We had a black vice president. Our Secretary of State is the son of Cuban refugees. Anyone telling you the story that nothing here ever gets better is selling you something.â
