Former President Donald Trump has secured a significant endorsement in his bid to retake the White House. Today, one of his primary opponents from the 2016 election, former Lousiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, expressed his support for Trump, pointing at his leadership and determination.
In a series of tweets, Jindal praised Trump’s policies and stances during his presidency, lauding his efforts in the Middle East, particularly his unwavering support for Israel. He stressed that Trump’s foreign policy focus was in sharp contrast to the current administration, particularly his stance on China. According to Jindal, Trump was the “first president to correctly identify China as America’s top security threat.”
Jindal also highlighted Trump’s economic and domestic policies, particularly the efforts towards American energy independence and the fight against crony capitalism in healthcare. Trump’s border policies also received commendation for enhancing security and curbing illegal drug trade.
However, Jindal’s endorsement wasn’t solely about praising Trump’s past achievements. It was also a call for unity among Republicans. Jindal noted, “We Republicans should stop helping [Democrats] by fighting amongst ourselves, and instead, unite to win the general election.”
President Trump brought order to the Mid-East by standing with our friends and refusing to coddle terrorists. President Trump was tough on Iran, first withdrawing from Obama’s foolish Iran deal, then reimposing sanctions.

Trump understands the importance of focusing on the threat from China to promote America's key national interests, and to avoid being distracted.
