Trumpâs Caribbean Drug War: Boats, Bombs & Bureaucratic Mysteries
The Trump administrationâs narco-terror crusade expanded from Venezuelaâs murky waters into the eastern Pacific with at least 13 strikes killing 57 peopleâmost in âunspecified terrorist-drug-boatâsâ mysterious deadly waters. From Aug. 7âs $50 million bounty on NicolĂĄs Maduro (the prize so big it screams âregime change swagâ) to Sept. 2âs first strike where 11 allegedly Tren de Aragua cartel members got smoked in international waters, Trumpâs war on ânarco-terroristsâ blended covert CIA ops (Oct. 15) with mysterious command shake-ups (Adm. Holsey stepping down before his season finale). Oct. 16 featured a drug-carrying submarine attack with survivors shipped home like lost FedEx packages. Then on Oct. 27 came the campaignâs bloodiest single day: 14 dead, one survivor, zero transparency, and plenty of fiery boat videos posted by Jake Hegseth, the administrationâs unofficial hype man blasting threats like âWe treat you like Al-Qaeda.â Congress wasnât invited to this war party, and even hardcore Republicans raised eyebrows. Strap inâitâs narco-warfare the Trump way: all drama, little evidence, and a trajectory headed for land strikes.

Trumpâs war on drug boats has more explosions than a Michael Bay sequel, fewer facts than a reality show reunion, and still zero congressional approval. Meanwhile, the Caribbean gets turned into a watery firework display because ânarco-terroristsâ apparently missed the RSVP.
Watching Trumpâs narco-terrorism strikes is like binge-watching a soap opera where every episode ends with a boat explosion and nobody knows who the heck they were shooting at. Spoiler: neither do the lawmakers.
Americaâs Caribbean drug-war playlist: 13 strikes, 57 dead, 1 confused admiral quitting mid-season, and CIA cameo drop-ins. Plot twist: nobodyâs clear if these ânarco-terroristsâ ever got the memo.
