American strength is continuously built. On Fox News, I explained why the Iran war is another reminder that national security begins with a powerful defense industrial base.

A chain breaks at its weakest link. A network routes around it. Multiple suppliers = deterrence.

Peace through strength on display. @2112Power, @HadrianInc, @LockheedMartin, @GMDefense and @USDASDuffey are putting the industrial muscle behind American deterrence. Reindustrializing underway 🇺🇸
.@HadrianInc , @LockheedMartin & @GMDefense teamed up today to hyperscale critical munitions production alongside @USDASDuffey at Lockheed’s fantastic facility in Texas - a new chapter in the Arsenal of Freedom. Lockheed and Hadrian signed a first of its kind, 7 year manufacturing-as-a-service agreement, with a whole Hadrian factory inside Lockheeds campus launching in January.

Grateful for those who came before us. Proud to carry on the tradition. Happy birthday, @USNavy
For 251 years, America’s Navy has projected American power and defended our nation’s freedom. Our sailors stand ready to FIGHT AND WIN. HAPPY BIRTHDAY @USNAVY

Walk @AUSAorg conf two years in a row and you develop an appreciation for what 12 months can produce. Huge industry progress. American ingenuity is extraordinary.

The @federalreserve , of all places, publishes America's monthly defense production number. One row in a release called G.17: "defense and space equipment." It lands mid-month at 9:15 a.m. No press conference. Almost nobody reads it. Yet, critically important.

2028 will be the first presidential race won on compute. More GPUs. Fewer consultants.

Twenty-five years ago, Americans climbed toward the flames. Strangers carried strangers to safety. Passengers fought back. We remember every life stolen, the families forever changed, and the courage that bravely answered the call. Never forget. Never take America for granted. 🇺🇸

On May 27, 1942, the USS Yorktown limped into Pearl Harbor, battered from Coral Sea. Navy Yard crews returned her to combat in 72 hours. Eight days later, her aircraft struck at Midway. Ships fight battles. Shipyards win wars.

Modern duct tape began with an Illinois munitions worker mailing President FDR a fix for faulty ammunition-box seals. Six weeks later, Washington approved it. Great powers shorten the distance between insight and action.

Halfway through reading about the SR-71, one detail stopped me. It leaked fuel on the runway. Near Mach 3, heat expanded the airframe and closed the seams. Appearing defective at rest, but functionally precise at speed. Beautifully American. 🇺🇸

American power rests on thousands of family businesses with generational know-how, elite products, and websites from 2004.
