Trump’s luck
What if he’s actually not ‘lucky,’ but just a good and successful president?

President Trump is “lucky” to have fallen into a ceasefire with Iran that allowed him to send Destroyers through the Strait or Hormuz, subsequently barricading Iran’s barricade, cutting off oil to Iran’s allies and imported weapons to rebuild their war machine.
President Trump was “lucky” when he decided to attack the Iranian leadership when they were all in the same place at the same time. He was “lucky” that he and Pete Hegseth pre-positioned a plethora of military assets in the area, which permitted the U.S. to destroy Iran’s radar systems, most of their navy, much of their air force, a majority of their missile silos, and almost all their manufacturing depots. President Trump was “lucky” that his war plans weren’t leaked by Democrats, our allies, the New York Times, or CNN, endangering American lives.
President Trump was “lucky” that he stumbled onto plans to extract Nicolás Maduro from Venezuela and to strike a bilateral trade agreement for Venezuelan oil, three months prior to the attack on Iran.
President Trump was “lucky” to engage a former Fox News Host (Pete Hegseth) and entrust him to reform what had become a “woke” enterprise into a streamlined, lethal, disciplined fighting force. They executed “midnight hammer” last summer, targeting Iran’s enrichment facilities, almost perfectly. Their execution of “absolute resolve,” extracting and bringing Maduro to the U.S. to face justice, was daring and flawless. “Epic Fury” (to date) has been epic.
