President Donald Trump has replaced the portrait of Thomas Jefferson in the Oval Office with one of James K. Polk, a move interpreted as a signal of his ambition for U.S. territorial expansion. Polk, known for overseeing the largest expansion of the United States during his presidency, is associated with the acquisition of territories including Oregon and parts of Mexico.

 

Trump's decision to hang Polk's portrait reportedly stems from his admiration for Polk's Manifest Destiny and his desire to revive an era of territorial growth. Trump had previously contacted House Speaker Mike Johnson, offering a painting of Jefferson in exchange for the Polk portrait. This action has raised concerns among allies about Trump's seriousness regarding expansionist rhetoric, particularly regarding Canada and Greenland.

 

LFG!

NCTC Director Joe Kent

 

@NCTCKent

This holiday season, the National Counterterrorism Center is working vigilantly with interagency partners to counter any potential terrorist threats of violence, rapidly sharing intelligence with law enforcement at all levels to spotlight ongoing and new dangers and ensure Americans are kept safe from terrorist extremists.

 

Under President Trump's guidance, we've intensified efforts to detect and expel terrorists who were welcomed to our homeland via the Biden Administration's ineffective immigration system. Recent disruptions — like the ISIS-linked plot foiled in Michigan over Halloween and the deadly terrorist attack carried out by an improperly vetted Afghan against two National Guard servicemembers in Washington, D.C. over Thanksgiving — remind us of the risk these unchecked threats pose to holiday crowds and events.

 

NCTC equips law enforcement and leaders across the United States with the intelligence and tools needed to combat these terrorist extremists, including radical Islamist extremists like AQAP who have ramped up online calls for attacks this year. This intel sharing helps law enforcement hunt terrorist threats and safeguard our people by empowering local law enforcement to protect our communities, so the American people can worship and celebrate in peace this holiday season.

 

Under the leadership of

@POTUS

and

@DNIGabbard

, we at NCTC will tirelessly hunt down and eliminate terrorist threats and ensure they have no safe harbor in our country.

 

With relentless pursuit and constant vigilance, we will keep our holidays safe, and we will not allow terrorists to undermine our culture.
