1. Strong Pro‑Trump Framing on Foreign Policy
- Donald Trump is a decisive “man of action” in contrast to international institutions (e.g., the UN) and prior U.S. administrations.
- Trump is framed as uniquely willing to confront authoritarian regimes such as Iran and Venezuela, while others are accused of offering “empty talk” or appeasement.
2. Iran: Protests and Regime Accountability
- The Iranian government is depicted as solely responsible for economic suffering and violent repression of protesters.
- U.S. officials and Iranian‑American activists argue:
- Protesters are not foreign agents, but citizens demanding freedom.
- The regime is described as weak, fearful of its people, and increasingly violent.
- Iran is likened to ISIS, with calls for the regime to be treated as an international terrorist entity.
- The protests are framed as a potential “Berlin Wall moment”, suggesting a historic chance for regime collapse if the international community acts.
3. Criticism of Past U.S. Administrations
- Obama and Biden administrations are criticized for:
- Engaging diplomatically with Iran while it allegedly targeted dissidents and U.S. officials.
- Providing financial relief that is portrayed as enabling repression and terrorism.
- Trump is the first U.S. president perceived by Iranian protesters as having their “back.”
4. Domestic U.S. Conflict: ICE and Immigration Enforcement
- Violence against ICE is blamed on:
- Democratic rhetoric, sanctuary policies, and activist encouragement.
- Alleged financial backing of protests by left‑leaning groups.
- Minnesota incidents are highlighted where:
- Illegal immigrants allegedly assaulted an ICE agent.
- State and local non‑cooperation is blamed for increased danger to agents.
- Democrats are accused of proposing legislation to obstruct or abolish ICE, while protecting criminal aliens.
5. Media and Hollywood Criticism
- Mainstream media and entertainment figures are portrayed as:
- Demonizing law enforcement (likening ICE to Nazis or secret police).
- Protecting criminals out of ideological opposition to Trump.
- These narratives are framed as contributing directly to real‑world violence.
6. Venezuela: Opposition, Sanctions, and Trump Support
- Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado is portrayed as:
- Legitimately elected by the people.
- A heroic democratic figure persecuted by the Maduro regime.
- Maduro’s government is described as a criminal enterprise tied to:
- Terrorism, drug trafficking, oil smuggling, and foreign adversaries (Iran, Russia, Cuba).

- Effective pressure tactics.
- Essential for Venezuela’s democratic transition.
- A free Venezuela is framed as:
- A future U.S. security ally.
