— Happy Birthday to the United States Navy! It is now 251 years of Victories, Old and New. Donald J. Trump congratulated the United States Navy on its 251st birthday, commemorating its original establishment on October 13, 1775.

The milestone comes as U.S. naval forces continue to safeguard vital global shipping channels, including the Strait of Hormuz, amid ongoing international security challenges. Happy Birthday to the United States Navy!

It is now 251 years of Victories, Old and New. What they’ve done with the impenetrable Steel Wall (Sometimes referred to as the Blockade) in the Hormuz Strait is another Historic Achievement, one of many. HAPPY BIRTHDAY U.S.

President Trump is the author of The Art of the Deal, Think Like a Billionaire, and Think Big. Analyst and Trump supporter Rod Martin points to The Art of the Deal, Trump's 1987 book, as an explanation of his deal-making philosophy: making big announcements, pivoting often in public statements and, Martin says, ultimately getting what he wanted all along. Critics contend that Trump's books were published decades ago or were aimed at making money, not shedding light. "Generally," Martin said, "critics don't read The Art of the Deal. If they did, they would understand."
