President-elect Donald Trump has made a strong move by selecting Rep. Mike Waltz as his incoming administration’s White House national security adviser. Waltz, a combat-decorated Green Beret and current congressman, is just the no-nonsense, experienced leader you want handling national security. Trump handpicked Waltz to be his principal adviser on every national security issue—and believe me, it’s about time the position went to someone who knows a thing or two about protecting the homeland firsthand.
The Wall Street Journal was the first to report Trump’s decision, and it’s not surprising that this pick has folks on the left doing a double-take. Waltz isn’t your typical Beltway bureaucrat who spends his days drafting polite memos from a cozy office. This is a guy who’s faced combat, stared down danger, and understands exactly what’s at stake when it comes to keeping Americans safe. As a Florida Republican, he’s also been a vocal critic of the disastrous foreign policy decisions we’ve seen from the Democrats, from the Afghanistan debacle to the border chaos that’s gone unaddressed for far too long.
Unlike some previous national security advisers, Waltz doesn’t need a Senate confirmation. That means no drawn-out hearings, no political games from the left trying to block his path, and no nonsense. Come January 20, he’s ready to hit the ground running—another win, thanks to Trump’s no-holds-barred approach.
Let’s be real here: Democrats spent years filling top security roles with academics and bureaucrats who talk a big game about “global norms” and “diplomatic engagement” but ignore the reality of real-world threats. Waltz isn’t about flowery language; he’s about getting the job done. His experience as a Green Beret means he has a deep understanding of military and security issues that can’t be taught in an Ivy League seminar room.
So here we are, just weeks from inauguration, and Trump’s already making all the right moves to secure our country. America is back to prioritizing strength and expertise, something we haven’t seen in years. Democrats might balk, but the fact is, Waltz is a national security adviser who’s actually been in the thick of it. With Trump in the driver’s seat and Waltz in his corner, America can rest assured that we’ll be safer and stronger.
