CBS: Trump administration struck another boat in Pacific, killing 14. Trump, "The land is going to be next."

Last edited Thu Oct 30, 2025, 08:00 AM - Edit history (2)

The man is murdering people to distract from Epstein and he has also torn down a huge part of the
White House to distract from Epstein too. When is enough enough? Those boats are hundreds if not thousands of miles away from America with zero chance of getting to American soils. No evidence, no trial, and no justice just murder. Cold blooded murder.

This is madness and murder and besides if it is “drug boats” that is the job for the DEA and the
U.S. Coast Guard not the D o D and I might be wrong but look for dementia Donny to be in a
land war on the People of Venezuela very soon because of Epstein.

CBS: Trump administration says it struck another alleged drug boat in Pacific, killing 14 w/1 Survivor

The U.S. military carried out another strike on an alleged "narco-trafficking vessel" in the Pacific Ocean on Wednesday, killing four people, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said — marking at least the 15th boat to be hit in the Trump administration's two-month-long campaign of strikes that have killed more than 60 people.

The military began striking alleged drug-carrying boats in the Caribbean Sea early last month, and expanded the operations to the Eastern Pacific in recent weeks. In some, but not all, cases, the Trump administration has said the boats were linked to the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.

The administration has vowed to continue carrying out the strikes, arguing the U.S. is in an "armed conflict" with drug cartels and gangs in Latin America, many of which the U.S. has designated as foreign terrorist organizations.

Mr. Trump has also floated the possibility of strikes on land-based targets, saying last week, "The land is going to be next."

And nothing else.

It’s about the body counts.

Mass murder. Serial mass murder.

How many killed.
How many arrested.
How many kidnapped.

How much money is made with each scam.

…. they couldn’t get medical treatment for other medical issues because the medical systems were
overwhelmed with C-19 cases. And how many died, got ill, or hosted the virus so it could become a
new strain of the virus and the disease could spread, along with in most cases Russian misinformation
about the vaccines, masks, Dr. Fauci, and real science.

If we had an honest media Trump’s handling of COVID should have made him toast to ever run again.

4. I hope Americans can be as casual about things when he openly kills on our waters and on our soil.

Because it will happen here probably sooner rather than later. We have no idea how many of the people scooped from our streets have already been murdered at the hands and orders of these monsters. His disgusting threats of what is coming are repulsive. They need to stop. When will someone in his administration or even a medical team member step up and stop the madness? When will the House come back to work, sit on the steps if necessary and show us that they are ready to stop this madness? Enough already!

9. These murders are yet another Trump policy many are willing to explain away.

Do we simply take Trump’s word that he’s killing drug runners? Trump is a habitual liar with no conscience. I’ll never believe a word he says.

Remember….he’s a star so they let him do it.
