Trump drops footage of another ‘lethal kinetic strike’ on narcotrafficking vessel

Three more “narcoterrorists” are dead, and their poisonous cargo has been prevented from reaching American streets after a “lethal kinetic strike” on a vessel carried out by the US military on Friday.

President Donald J. Trump announced the successful strike on the vessel, which was in international waters and headed to the United States, the latest such action as the administration seeks to curb the trafficking of illegal narcotics by foreign terror organizations.

“On my Orders, the Secretary of War ordered a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization conducting narcotrafficking in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was trafficking illicit narcotics, and was transiting along a known narcotrafficking passage enroute to poison Americans,” the president said in a Friday evening post to Truth Social, sharing video footage of the doomed drug boat.

“The strike killed 3 male narcoterrorists aboard the vessel, which was in international waters. No U.S. Forces were harmed in this strike. STOP SELLING FENTANYL, NARCOTICS, AND ILLEGAL DRUGS IN AMERICA, AND COMMITTING VIOLENCE AND TERRORISM AGAINST AMERICANS!!!” Trump added.

“It was at this moment, the narcoterrorists knew they screwed up,” said White House communications director Steven Cheung in a post to X, also sharing video of the successful strike.

Trump’s announcement came days after another strike on a foreign drug vessel that also took out a trio of “narcoterrorists from Venezuela” in the second lethal interdiction of the aggressive new strategy.

“This morning, on my Orders, U.S. Military Forces conducted a SECOND Kinetic Strike against positively identified, extraordinarily violent drug trafficking cartels and narcoterrorists in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility. The Strike occurred while these confirmed narcoterrorists from Venezuela were in International Waters transporting illegal narcotics (A DEADLY WEAPON POISONING AMERICANS!) headed to the U.S.,” he wrote in a Monday post to Truth Social, also sharing video.

CARTELS CRUSHED: President Trump puts cartels on notice, announcing a second U.S. military strike on Venezuelan narcoterrorists that killed three on his orders:

“These extremely violent drug trafficking cartels POSE A THREAT to U.S. National Security, Foreign Policy, and vital U.S. Interests. The Strike resulted in 3 male terrorists killed in action. No U.S. Forces were harmed in this Strike. BE WARNED — IF YOU ARE TRANSPORTING DRUGS THAT CAN KILL AMERICANS, WE ARE HUNTING YOU!” Trump said. “The illicit activities by these cartels have wrought DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES ON AMERICAN COMMUNITIES FOR DECADES, killing millions of American Citizens. NO LONGER. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!”

The military first took out a drug boat on September 2, killing nearly a dozen suspected members of Tren de Aragua, the vicious Venezuelan gang so fearsome that they have been described as “MS-13 on steroids.”

After that strike, Democrats bleated like stuck pigs, predictably siding with the drug traffickers against Trump. Even some Republicans threw a fit, including Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who made a ridiculous reference to the classic novel “To Kill A Mockingbird” to scold Vice President JD Vance over his lack of sympathy for narcoterrorists.

“President Trump’s actions are an outrageous violation of the law and a dangerous assault on our Constitution,” Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI), the top Senate Armed Services Committee Democrat, said after Monday’s strike. “No president can secretly wage war or carry out unjustified killings – that is authoritarianism, not democracy.”

Friday’s “lethal kinetic strike” has yet to draw an angry response from the party of criminal illegal aliens. They are too busy spinning the suspension of top late-night propagandist Jimmy Kimmel as an attack on free speech and trashing slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated by one of their human time bombs last week.
