Trump’s World Tour of Bombs and Boards: One Year, Six Countries, Zero Congresses
KEY POINTS
- •Since early 2025, President Trump ordered strikes on Iran's nuclear program and threatened further intervention to protect protesters.
- •He bombed six countries including Nigeria, justifying attacks as defending Christians, while also claiming governance over Gaza by appointment.
- •Most dramatically, Trump dispatched a massive armada to Venezuela aiming to depose President Nicolás Maduro without Congress approval.
In under a year of Trump’s deluxe remix of American interventionism, he’s blasted Iran’s nuclear dreams with a thundering detour to defend protesters—a side quest, apparently. His aerial fireworks have touched down on six countries, Nigeria crowned the latest, all in the name of Christian defense, because nothing screams diplomacy like air strikes labeled “Divine Protection.” Declaring himself chair of Gaza’s governing board, Trump’s multitasking ambition grew: part warlord, part part-time politician, full-time headline magnet. Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro didn’t just face an armada; he got an involuntary front-row seat to Trump’s personal executive kidnapping plan. Congress? Never heard of her.
