A VICTORY COALITION BRIEFING
Trump’s “Choice”: The Most Important National Security Decision of His 2nd Presidency
Ban the Brotherhood or Face “Civilization Erasure” Here
11:00 a.m.–12:15 p.m. ET
Friday, December 19, 2025
President Trump will soon make what may be the most important national security decision of his second presidency. And scarcely anyone even knows it’s impending, let alone how fraught the wrong choice would be.
Given the incredibly high stakes for our people and constitutional Republic, the lack of the necessary public awareness and national debate about this decision is completely unacceptable.
By Christmas Eve, Mr. Trump is supposed to get a report from Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent about how to handle the threat posed by the Muslim Brotherhood. Our Victory Coalition report describes the President’s “choice” as either ban the Brotherhood or face “civilization erasure” here.
You have a need to know the right answer – and why. So does President Trump. Learn why he must ban the Brotherhood and encourage him to do so at BantheBrotherhood.org.
This Victory Coalition briefing features voices from around the world that must be heard if President Trump’s momentous decision about whether to ban the Muslim Brotherhood is to be fully informed. They complement those eminent experts who addressed the previous VictoryCo.org briefing last Friday and feature prominently in the Coalition’s new “second opinion” report about what to do with regard to designating the Muslilm Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization – The Choice: “Ban the Brotherhood” or Face “Civilization Erasure” Here: Charles “Sam” Faddis, Robert Spencer, Dr. David Wurmser, Peter McIlvenna, Trevor Loudon and Hon. George Rasley.
