🇺🇸 Trump Forces Democrats to Defend Violent Crime
In partnership with
Patriots,
President Trump just ripped away one of Kamala Harris’ hidden perks—canceling her Secret Service detail that Joe Biden secretly extended before leaving office.
By law, Harris’ protection expired in July. But Biden slipped her an extra year of taxpayer-funded coverage behind closed doors. Trump’s order shuts it down on September 1.
Now Harris is hitting the road for a book tour—without the round-the-clock federal shield Biden gifted her with your tax dollars. Democrats call it “revenge.” Patriots call it accountability.
Once again, Trump is proving he’ll end the backroom deals and force Washington insiders to play by the rules the rest of us live under.
Keep reading below and catch up on all of today’s Trump news!

✅TRACKING TRUMP✅
Curated by Mike Luso
As America continues to grapple with the aftermath of tragic violence in Minneapolis, we're witnessing a predictable pattern emerge from the Democratic playbook: deflect responsibility from the perpetrators and somehow make it about attacking conservatives. President Trump has doubled down on his mission to tackle the crime wave sweeping through our major cities, but instead of gratitude, he's met with fierce resistance from the very politicians whose constituents are suffering most. The irony is rich: Democrats are essentially positioning themselves as defenders of lawlessness while Trump fights to restore order and safety to American streets.
On the international front, the president isn't pulling any punches either. His administration just approved a significant missile sale to Ukraine, sending a clear message about American strength on the world stage. And if that wasn't enough to keep foreign adversaries on their toes, Trump has positioned U.S. naval forces near Venezuelan waters, making it crystal clear to President Maduro that America won't stand idly by while his regime facilitates drug trafficking and terrorism.
As we wrap up another intense week, one thing remains constant – our president refuses to back down from the tough fights, whether they're happening in Democrat-run cities here at home or with hostile regimes abroad. It's all part of his relentless pursuit to restore America's strength and security.
🚀 Trump Approves $825 Million Missile Sale to Ukraine
The Trump administration has approved the sale of 3,350 Extended Range Attack Munition (ERAM) missiles to Ukraine for $825 million, marking the first major arms sale of new weapons to Ukraine announced by the administration. The missiles have a range of 150-280 miles and could be delivered later this year if the sale concludes as expected, though restrictions on their use remain unclear. Ukraine will use funding from Denmark, the Netherlands, and Norway, plus Foreign Military Financing from the United States for this purchase. The announcement came after President Trump met separately with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky this month. The State Department stated the sale will support U.S. foreign policy and national security objectives by improving the security of a partner country that promotes political stability and economic progress in Europe.
⚓ Trump Deploys Naval Force as Venezuela Vows Defense
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro declared there was "no way" U.S. troops could invade his country as tension rises with Washington and a U.S. naval force builds up in the Southern Caribbean near Venezuela's territorial waters. Seven U.S. warships and one nuclear-powered fast attack submarine were either in the region or expected there within a week, carrying more than 4,500 U.S. service members including 2,200 Marines. The operation launched after the Trump administration accused Maduro and other government members of links to cocaine trafficking, particularly targeting the Cartel de los Soles, which Trump's administration designated a terrorist organization. Venezuela responded by sending warships and drones to patrol its coastline, deploying 15,000 troops to its borders with Colombia, and launching a drive to recruit thousands of militia members. Washington is offering a $50 million reward for Maduro's capture over alleged drug offenses, while Maduro accuses the U.S. of seeking regime change in Venezuela.
🎪 Trump Considers Pre-Midterm Republican National Convention
President Trump announced he is considering holding a Republican National Convention ahead of the midterm elections, stating it has never been done before and offering no details about location or specific activities. Trump cited the party's strong fundraising performance compared to Democrats and various beneficial statistics as reasons for the potential convention, writing that Republicans have raised far more money and are poised to "win big in the midterms." Republican National Committee chair Kiersten Pels praised Trump for "leading with bold, innovative ideas to energize our Party and keep us on the path to victory." The announcement came the day after reports that Democratic National Committee leaders were also considering holding a rare convention ahead of the midterms. Trump's proposal comes amid a redistricting war across the country, with Texas eliminating five Democratic seats while California Governor Gavin Newsom works to eliminate five Republican seats in response.
🔍 Trump Resumes Strict Vetting for Citizenship
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has resumed "neighborhood investigations" of legal immigrants applying for naturalized American citizenship, a vetting procedure not conducted by investigators in decades. USCIS may request testimonial letters from neighbors, employers, co-workers, and business associates who can provide substantiated information about applicants to avoid neighborhood investigations. USCIS Director Joseph Edlow stated the goal is to "ensure that only the most qualified applicants receive American citizenship" and that Americans should be comforted knowing USCIS is taking seriously its responsibility to ensure proper vetting. The agency required legal immigrants to present witnesses from 1802 to 1981, shifted to neighborhood investigations until 1991, then relied mostly on biometric data and FBI background checks. Edlow revealed that the Biden administration truncated critical security questions to quicken naturalizations, awarding citizenship to almost 3.5 million foreign nationals in fewer than four years, resulting in 23 million naturalized Americans now eligible to vote.

🔔 Trump Forces Democrats to Defend Violent Crime 🔔
Vice President JD Vance delivered a pointed assessment during a speech in La Crosse, Wisconsin, declaring that President Trump has successfully forced Democrats into the position of defending violent crime. Vance observed that Democrats are going as far as mocking violent crime problems in cities across the United States, only because Trump is stepping in to help local law enforcement make communities safer. "Why is it that you have mayors and governors who are angrier about Donald Trump offering to help them than they are about the fact that their own residents are being carjacked and murdered in the streets?" Vance asked the crowd.
The vice president noted that Trump has managed to get Democrats to oppose crime-cutting efforts in Washington, DC, where the administration deployed National Guard troops to support the Metropolitan Police Department. Vance recounted a conversation with Trump, saying the president remarked, "JD, I don't know how I did it? I have actually gotten the Democrats to come out in defense of crime." The results in the nation's capital have been dramatic, with DC Mayor Muriel Bowser praising Trump's initiative and noting an 87% reduction in carjackings during a 20-day period compared to the previous year.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt delivered a sharp rebuke to Democratic leaders, particularly Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, declaring that "decline is a choice." Leavitt told Americans in Democrat-run cities nationwide that "you don't have to live in constant fear of being robbed, raped or murdered," adding that "your leaders are lying to you, and they have been failing you for decades." The White House emphasized its willingness to work with both Republican and Democratic leaders who request additional law enforcement support to reduce crime in American cities.
Pritzker has pushed back aggressively against the possibility of National Guard troops arriving in Chicago, calling the potential move "unconstitutional" and "un-American." The Illinois governor accused Trump of wanting to "use the military to occupy a U.S. city, punish its dissidents and score political points," characterizing it as a "dangerous power grab." Despite Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's claims that crime has decreased in the city, the White House continues to point to local reports showing Chicago has had the most murders of any U.S. city for the past 13 consecutive years.
Former President Barack Obama joined the chorus of Democratic opposition, warning of "dangerous trends" emerging from the Trump administration and claiming its policies "put the liberties of all Americans at risk." Obama specifically cited Trump's threat to send National Guard troops into other major cities, describing it as part of "dangerous trends" regarding "federalization and militarization of state and local police functions." The former president argued that "the erosion of basic principles like due process and the expanding use of our military on domestic soil put the liberties of all Americans at risk."
Trump has remained firm in his commitment to addressing crime in Democrat-controlled cities, posting on Truth Social about Chicago specifically: "Governor Pritzker had 6 murders in Chicago this weekend. Twenty people were shot. But he doesn't want to ask me for help." The president expressed confidence in his ability to solve the problem, telling reporters, "We go in, we will solve Chicago within one week, maybe less. But within one week we'll have no crime in Chicago, like no crime in D.C."
Even as Democratic leaders criticize Trump's approach, some are quietly implementing similar measures. California Governor Gavin Newsom announced the deployment of his own "crime suppression teams" around the state just three days after holding a press conference bashing Trump for "undermining" Democrat-run cities. Newsom's teams, composed of California Highway Patrol officers and local law enforcement partners, will operate in San Diego, the Inland Empire, Los Angeles, the Central Valley, Sacramento, and the San Francisco Bay Area.
The irony was not lost on observers that Newsom launched his crime suppression initiative while simultaneously maintaining an ongoing lawsuit against the Trump administration over the president's deployment of National Guard troops. This contradiction between public opposition and private adoption of similar tactics reveals the political bind facing Democratic leaders who must balance ideological opposition to Trump with the practical need to address rising crime in their jurisdictions.
Trump's success in Washington, DC, where murders, carjackings, and armed robberies have been dramatically reduced in just two weeks, has created undeniable pressure on Democratic officials to deliver similar results for their constituents, regardless of their political rhetoric against the president's methods.
🍟 Quick Bite News 🍟
☢️ Russian UN Ambassador Dmitry Polyanskiy blamed President Trump for the Iran nuclear crisis, arguing that the situation began deteriorating in 2018 when Trump withdrew the U.S. from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. The accusation came hours after the U.K., France and Germany triggered the snapback mechanism to reimpose severe UN sanctions on Iran within 30 days for non-compliance with the nuclear agreement. Polyanskiy claimed the E3's move represents "diplomacy at the barrel of the gun" and accused Western countries of caring only about "blackmail and threats" rather than diplomatic solutions.
📦 Mexican postal service, Correos de México, suspended package deliveries to the United States starting August 27, ahead of Trump's August 29 deadline to end the de minimis exemption that allows duty-free shipment of packages valued at $800 or less. The Mexican government stated it will temporarily halt postal and package deliveries while defining new operational processes and continues dialogue with U.S. authorities to resume services. Various postal services worldwide have announced similar pauses on shipments to America as the deadline approaches for ending what the Department of Homeland Security called a system exploited to flood the American market with cheap goods that undercut American manufacturers.
⛽ President Trump's energy agenda has delivered the lowest Labor Day holiday gas prices in half a decade, with GasBuddy projecting a national average of $3.15 per gallon—the cheapest holiday weekend at the pump since 2020. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt credited Trump with "fully unleashing American energy dominance" and ending "Joe Biden's green new scam policies," while Energy Secretary Chris Wright argued that "more American energy means lower costs, more jobs, and more prosperity." Analysts predict additional relief in September as gasoline demand falls, with GasBuddy's Patrick De Haan estimating the national gas price average could fall below $3 per gallon.
🗳️ House Republicans are targeting two Democratic-held congressional districts in Ohio and Michigan that President Trump won in 2024, focusing on Rep. Marcy Kaptur's Ohio 9th District and freshman Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet's Michigan 8th District. GOP Rep. Brian Jack, leading candidate recruitment as deputy chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee, visited both crossover districts and met with potential candidates, arguing that both representatives are "out of step with the constituents they represent." Jack noted that Kaptur's vote percentage declined from 68% in 2016 to just 48% in 2024, attributing this to her votes to impeach Trump despite the district supporting the president with 53% of the vote.
🏠 Marvin Peavy's Florida beach house on Scenic Highway 30A has become a viral TikTok sensation known as the "Trump house" for its eye-catching pro-Trump banners, including messages like "Who's your Daddy?" and "bulletproof" featuring photos of President Trump. Peavy's TikTok account has amassed millions of views and thousands of followers, with his most popular video showing him dancing to "YMCA" with three Trump banners shot before the presidential election. After a legal dispute with Walton County officials who ordered him to remove the banners or pay $50 per day in fines, a circuit judge ruled in March 2025 that the fines were unjust and ordered the county to pay Peavy's $42,000 legal fees.
