Generations of Air Force Academy cadets have raised their right hand and said, SEND ME. They answer the call to serve something greater than themselves—carrying forward a legacy in the profession of arms.

The cadets of the United States Air Force Academy have raised their right hands and said, “SEND ME.” They are AMERICA’S BEST AND BRIGHTEST.

There is no better way to start a day than EARLY MORNING PT with America’s finest cadets.

I am directing all commanders and supervisors at every level to conduct a one-day stand-down in the month of October. Every warrior will be given the opportunity to vote.

The State of the Force is STRONG. We have revived the warrior ethos, rebuilt our military, and after years of weakness, AMERICAN DETERRENCE IS BACK.

There’s no better way to start the day than morning PT with 600 of America’s finest warriors.

Today, @SECWAR laid out a bold vision for the future of our military. This includes a new Autonomous Warfare Command, Project Meridian, FORTRESS America, the Next Great American Base, America’s Corps of Cadets, and the Office of Religious Affairs. A new era for the Department of War—FOR THE WARFIGHTER.

Proud to announce that the Army National Guard achieved its FY 2026 recruiting mission of 37,155 guardsmen yesterday. This marks the THIRD year in a row that the ARNG has hit this achievement and the FIRST time it has achieved this level of sustained recruiting success since FY 2013. ARNG is postured for another successful recruiting year in FY 2027. Job well done, @USNationalGuard!

TO OUR WARRIORS—MAKE SURE TO VOTE! Visit FVAP.GOV to register and request your ballot.

Today, I am announcing the Joint Warfighter Evaluation.

HERE AM I. SEND ME.

There is NO better way to kick off the SEND ME TOUR than with early morning PT with the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets.

For the first time in FIFTEEN YEARS, our Special Forces recruiters achieved their mission of 2,940 candidates. And, for the first time in a DECADE, the U.S. Army Reserves have met their mission of 14,322 future Soldiers in September - two weeks ahead of schedule. The Warriors want IN!   Thank you President Trump, this only happens with your leadership. The spirit is back! And great work and congratulations @USArmy.

The Department of War fully supports President Trump’s decision to kick CNN, MSN̶B̶C̶NOW and Politico to the curb so they can publish their Fake News from outside the White House. We are grateful these outlets already chose to self-deport from the Pentagon. They endangered our troops with false stories, leaks, and trafficked in fiction and lies about the President, our Warriors, and their mission.

This is DISGUSTING and FAKE. A complete LIE. Shame on the Washington Post — they’re worse than Iranian state media.

We will never forget.

Today, at the Pentagon, we unfurled the American flag in solemn remembrance of the nearly 3,000 Americans who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. Twenty-five years later, their memory remains with us. We will never forget.

On September 11, 2001, Islamic terrorists carried out a cowardly attack and murdered nearly 3,000 Americans. Twenty-five years later, we remember the lives lost, the heroes who ran toward the danger, and the families who still carry that loss. We will never forget.

A year ago, we lost the incredible Charlie Kirk. His courage, conviction, and unwavering faith left a generational impact — and ignited a spiritual revival — inside our great Republic. We will never forget Charlie, but take great refuge in the fact that he is with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Well done, good and faithful servant.
