Susan Rice, the perpetual fixture of Democratic foreign policy alarmism, just dropped a bombshell on CNN’s The Source that’s equal parts hysterical and revealing. Dismissing President Trump’s proposed Board of Peace as his bid to play king of the world, Rice channeled her inner UN ambassador outrage while host Kaitlan Collins teed it up perfectly. But let’s cut through the spin: this isn’t about Trump cosplaying as a global monarch—it’s a strategic pivot to prioritize American interests over endless foreign entanglements. Trump’s vision? A council to scrutinize interventions, ensuring U.S. blood and treasure aren’t squandered on nation-building fiascos like those Rice championed under Obama. Her knee-jerk king label reeks of projection from an establishment terrified of a leader who actually asks, What’s in it for America?
For the 2A community, this rhetoric is a flashing red light on the deeper game. Rice’s meltdown isn’t isolated—it’s part of the left’s playbook to paint sovereignty-minded policies as authoritarian, the same tactic they deploy against gun rights. Remember how they branded the NRA domestic terrorists for defending the Constitution? Here, Trump’s peace board threatens the military-industrial complex that funnels billions into forever wars, where our service members—often 2A enthusiasts themselves—get deployed without end. Implications are stark: a restrained foreign policy means fewer erosions of civil liberties at home, like the post-9/11 surveillance state or ATF overreaches justified by national security. If Rice and crew succeed in demonizing this, expect ramped-up attacks on domestic kings like armed citizens who dare prioritize self-defense over globalist utopias.
The irony? Rice, who pushed interventions in Libya that birthed chaos, now clutches pearls at Trump’s restraint. 2A patriots should cheer this as a win for realism: fewer wars abroad preserve the focus—and resources—for defending the right to keep and bear arms here. Watch her CNN clip; it’s a masterclass in elite panic when America-first policies disrupt the empire. Stay vigilant—her king slur is just the opening salvo in the next culture war salvo against independence, armed or otherwise.
