After laughs, cheers, and groans over President Trump’s claim on the Strait of Hormuz over the weekend, the President doubled down today posting a map of the Strait with “New American Territory” emblazoned on it.

by Daniel McAdams | Aug 13, 2026 | The Liberty Report

Trump: ‘WE Control Strait Of Hormuz!’
by Daniel McAdams | Aug 12, 2026 | The Liberty Report
In a Wednesday social media post, President Trump has declared that the US controls the Strait of Hormuz and that the US would likely “keep it.” He repeated his previous claims that Iran has “no navy” and “no air force.” Is this just another in a series of delusions on his part…or is he setting the stage to walk away?
Trump To Iran: ‘Compensation? YOU Owe US Compensation!’
by Daniel McAdams | Aug 11, 2026 | The Liberty Report
President Trump has answered Iran’s call for US compensation over its unprovoked attacks on the country with a demand from Iran for compensation to the US and to its own citizens. Using widely inflated figures for protesters killed in Iran and inaccurate claims of Iran’s involvement in past terrorist attacks, Trump’s attempt to turn the tables on Iran appears almost comical. Also today? Why do we keep losing wars?

After Trump, Who Will Trust The US Anymore?
by Daniel McAdams | Aug 4, 2026 | The Liberty Report
President Trump’s disastrous war on Iran has harmed and will continue to harm the US and US interests overseas. But the reputational damage of duplicity in negotiations and using diplomacy as a weapon will be far more harmful in the long run. No one trusts our word any longer.
