Trump’s Name Drops 33 Times in New Terror Strategy: Gorka’s Love Letter?
Imagine the government writes a serious plan to fight terrorism. Normally, these things are dry, boring reports stuffed with big words, focused on actual threats, and they mention the president maybe once or twice so it doesn’t look like fanfiction. Not this one.
The brand-new 2026 U.S. Counterterrorism Strategy is only 16 pages long, but the word “Trump” (or “President Trump”) shows up 33 times. That’s not a strategy, that’s a tribute album.
What Makes This So Cringe?
Real counterterrorism plans are supposed to be neutral. They lay out threats like cartels or extremists, explain how agencies team up, and aim to last longer than one administration. They sound professional so future presidents can actually use them.
- The 2018 strategy under Trump’s first term mentioned him sparingly and kept it business-like..
- Older plans from the Bush era were calm, boring, and all about the mission, not the man.
But this 2026 version? It’s shorter, snappier, and reads like Sebastian Gorka stayed up all night trying to outdo himself praising Trump. It brags about Trump’s wins, bashes Biden nonstop, and ties every “success” straight back to the boss. Gorka, Trump’s counterterrorism czar, basically turned a national security document into a personal highlight reel.
Why Does It Matter?
The strategy loves to complain about politicization in national security. Yet here it is, drenched in personal Trump worship and campaign vibes. It’s like Gorka looked at a normal government report and thought, “Nah, needs more glazing.” It’s like handing in a school safety plan that name-drops your favorite principal 33 times while reminding everyone how awesome he is. Suspicious? A little.
You can check the official PDF yourself online (it’s on the White House website).
Whether you like Trump or not, this isn’t the usual Washington style. It’s bold in the most try-hard way and very Trump-centered, all thanks to Gorka’s pathetic little pen desperately simping across every single page like he's trying to win Employee of the Month.
Smart political move or just... too much? 😏
