Donald Trump rightly says he’s a “wartime president.” Only our enemy is not an “invisible,” viral one. Rather, it’s the Chinese Communist Party that deliberately unleashed a pandemic on us – arguably causing more damage to this country than any conflict in our history.

Today, Mr. Trump will tell the nation what he is going to do in response to freedom’s first strategic defeat at the hands of the CCP’s “unrestricted warfare” against it.

He must put America on a war-footing.

After all, as things stand now, the CCP’s creeping destruction of Hong Kong will surely be followed shortly by the kinetic kind against Taiwan. Our only chance to stave off that disaster – and probably worse – is to take decisive actions now. There is no time for symbolic gestures or grandiose, but hollow, rhetoric.

Mr. President, summon your inner Churchill. And defend freedom.
