Peace Through Strength: Trump’s Missile Shield Will Stop War Before It Starts

America First means protecting America. Imagine that.

President Donald J. Trump has officially announced plans to build a next-generation missile defense system—something he’s calling the Golden Dome—and I, for one, could not be more thrilled to see American tax dollars going toward defending America for a change.

Unveiled alongside Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the Golden Dome is a $175 billion project aimed at doing something the Biden regime never prioritized: protecting the U.S. homeland from a foreign attack. And get this—it’s expected to be fully operational by the end of Trump’s term. That’s what real leadership looks like!

According to Trump, this dome will be able
iles launched from the other side of the world or from space. That’s not just national defense. That’s next-level deterrence.

If the idea sounds familiar, it’s because Ronald Reagan once dreamed of it. His Strategic Defense Initiative—mocked by the left as “Star Wars”—was a bold vision that never got the full support it deserved. Trump is finally making that dream a reality.

And yes, the name is a patriotic play on Israel’s Iron Dome, which has saved countless lives. Trump’s version? Bigger, better, and focused on our homeland.

Now here’s where it really hits home: for decades, Washington has funneled trillions into foreign wars based on the idea that “we have to fight them over there, or we’ll fight them here.” That logic has cost us American lives, our economy, and our sense of national purpose. But with Trump’s Golden Dome—and his rock-solid border policies—it’s hard to imagine any war reaching our soil again.

This is the definition of peace through strength (and yes, I have that tattooed on my arm in Latin—because I mean it).

Predictably, the usual suspects are upset. China says they’re “seriously concerned” and warns that the Golden Dome could “undermine global strategic balance.” Good. Maybe they should be more concerned about not launching missiles in the first place.

The first $25 billion to fund this project is tucked into Trump’s “One Big, Beautiful Bill” currently being debated in the House. For once, we’re talking about billions going toward protecting our cities instead of propping up corrupt regimes overseas.

What a wild concept—spending American money on American safety. Let’s have more of this and a whole lot less of the blank checks for endless foreign wars.

The Golden Dome is proof that America First isn’t just a slogan. It’s a strategy. And under Trump, it’s becoming a shield.
