Donald Trump ‘Wants to Secure the Legacy of Being the Most Powerful U.S. President,’ Says Historian

President Donald Trump is firing on all cylinders. First, he stormed Venezuela, capturing its dictator — alleged narcotrafficker Nicolás Maduro. Then in a stunning move, he set his sights on Greenland and Cuba. Now, he’s unleashed America’s fury on Iran to end terrorism and secure worldwide peace.

It’s all part of Trump’s grand plan to take over the Western Hemisphere — and lock down a third White House term in 2028, sources tell the National Enquirer. The commander-in-chief’s master plot is said to involve securing Earth’s vast oil and energy resources to pressure superpower nations such as China and Russia to bend to America, changing the geopolitical landscape forever!

“Donald Trump wants to reshape the global economy and the global power structure,” presidential historian Leon Wagener tells the Enquirer. “He wants to become the new George Washington to the world and secure the legacy of being the most powerful U.S. president.

“He has confided to his most trustworthy advisers that the only way to rule the world and make his mark is to control the oil and rare earth minerals. That’s the goal!”

When asked for comment, a White House rep told the Enquirer, “All of President Trump’s foreign policy actions have safeguarded our national security and put America first. His actions to take on the many threats posed by Iran, arrest narcoterrorist Nicolás Maduro, negotiate fairer trade deals, and more have all brought deliverables home to the United States. The President is Making America Great Again while simultaneously making the entire world safer and stronger than ever.”

In the span of two months, the daring POTUS eliminated two bloodthirsty dictators lording over oil-rich countries. Maduro was collared in Venezuela in January by U.S. special forces in Operation Absolute Resolve, and Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was eliminated within the first 24 hours of America’s Operation Epic Fury.

Since the U.S. already controls Venezuela’s oil, securing Iran and the Strait of Hormuz — the Persian Gulf-to-sea passage through which much of the world’s oil passes — will allow America to choke China and Russia’s energy supplies and give Trump leverage at the negotiating table as those countries are forced to hand over AI and other advanced technologies, sources explain.

Roger Stone, a longtime political consultant close to Trump, says the president is using “military strength, economic leverage and diplomatic efforts” to strangle Russia and China.

By potentially ending the flow of Iranian oil to China, “he has greatly lessened the chances that the communist Chinese will move on Taiwan,” Stone tells the Enquirer. “By cutting off Russia’s access to Iranian oil, the president will hopefully move them toward a settlement with Ukraine.”

Securing the world’s oil is only the beginning. Trump stunned European Union allies with his relentless mission to take over Greenland — and its valuable rare earth minerals — insisting America is hell-bent on beating back potential incursions on the 836,000-square-mile island by Russia and China.

“You have to get the Russian threat away from Greenland,” Trump insisted in a Truth Social post. “… It is time, and it will be done!!!”

Trump also rocked allies when he slapped Spain with a full trade embargo after its government refused to allow American warplanes to use jointly run military bases for airstrikes against Iran.

The U.S. military is also flexing its muscle in the Western Hemisphere by pulverizing 157 suspected cartel drug runners and destroying 46 boats, while announcing plans for a potential “friendly takeover” of Cuba — the oil-starved communist nation already on its knees since it relied on Venezuelan oil.

Trump is playing the long game, sources say. Just 15 months into his second term, insiders say the no-nonsense prez is secretly plotting to run for a third term in 2028 at age 82 to complete his world peace initiative that is far from over. The U.S. Constitution’s 22nd Amendment limits presidents to two elected terms.

“Trump has told his lawyers to look into what he would have to achieve to get a third term,” says an insider.

Retired Army Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely, a top military expert, says Trump’s plan to dominate the world has been a closely held secret for years.

“Trump really gets the big picture, where others are now catching up to him and what he’s really trying to do,” Vallely tells the Enquirer.

“It’s a grand plan — there’s no doubt about it.”
