A Week of Strength, Sadness, and Thanksgiving at the White House!

Dragi prijatelji, čitatelji i pratitelji bloga Totalno.HR. Ovaj tjedan bio je poput tkanine isprepletene nitima duboke tuge i izvanrednih uspjeha. Dok vam donosimo naš tjedni pregled objava iz Bijele kuće, također dijelimo zajednički poziv na molitvu koji je potekao iz samog srca vodstva američke nacije.

Prije svega, naša srca su pogođena tragičnim gubitkom pripadnice Nacionalne garde Sarah Beckstrom. Njezin je život besmisleno oduzet u napadu u blizini Bijele kuće, i pridružujemo se Bijeloj kući u izražavanju najdubljih sućuti njezinoj obitelji i voljenima. Također molimo za potpuno ozdravljenje drugog napadnutog pripadnika Nacionalne garde Andrewa Wolfea, koji je također bio žrtva ovog strašnog čina i trenutno se bori za svoj život. Molimo vas da oboje imate u svojim mislima i molitvama.

Usred ovih tmurnih vijesti, američki Predsjednik Trump je aktivno oblikovao politiku i sudjelovao u ključnim diplomatskim naporima. Potpisani su izvršni akti koji se tiču Muslimanskog bratstva i Misije AI Genesis, što označava odlučan pristup nacionalnoj sigurnosti i hrabro prihvaćanje tehnološkog napretka. Također je održan značajan razgovor s predsjednikom Kine Xi Jinpingom, a rasprave su se dotakle kritičnih tema poput ilegalnog prometa drogom i potencijalnih koristi za američke poljoprivrednike.

"I just had a very good telephone call with President Xi, of China. We discussed many topics including Ukraine/Russia, Fentanyl, Soybeans and other Farm Products, etc. We have done a good, and very important, deal for our Great Farmers — and it will only get better. Our… pic.twitter.com/n5PBCgYUC3

Ovo sudjelovanje je uvod u povijesni posjet Kini i naknadni državni posjet Bijeloj kući, obećavajući daljnji napredak.

U potezu koji je privukao značajnu pažnju, američki predsjednik Trump najavio je „trajnu obustavu migracija iz svih zemalja Trećeg svijeta.“ Ova politika ima za cilj rješavanje problema vezanih uz nacionalnu sigurnost i utjecaj imigracije.

Duh Dana zahvalnosti bio je opipljiv, čak i dok je Predsjednik Trump razmišljao o nedavnim tragičnim događajima. Održao je govor članovima vojne službe tijekom poziva na Dan zahvalnosti, dijeleći sa onima na prvoj crti srcelomnu vijest o smrti Sarah Beckstrom.

Tradicija godišnjeg pomilovanja purana u Bijeloj kući nastavila se, a “Gobble” je dobio bezuvjetno pomilovanje od predsjednika. U trenutku vedrine, predsjednik Trump je također duhovito primijetio da su prošlogodišnji purani trebali “re-pomilovanje” zbog autopen-a Bidena, te je šaljivo sugerirao da bi ovogodišnje ptice trebale biti imenovane “Chuck i Nancy.” Ove godine, Gobble i njegov suputnik, Waddle, zajedno su težili 102 funte – zaista impresivna veličina za zahvalničku gozbu! Dalje od Ružičnjaka u Bijeloj kući, potpredsjednik Vance i Druga obitelj Amerike pokazali su svoju predanost  vojnicima posjetivši Fort Campbell u Kentuckyju. Poslužili su obroke vojnicima i njihovim obiteljima, izražavajući opipljivu zahvalnost i podršku ovog Dana zahvalnosti.

Prva dama Melania Trump uljepšala je prigodu dočekavši Službeno božićno drvce Bijele kuće za 2025. godinu i pridruživši se predsjedniku na ceremoniji pomilovanja, dodajući svečani ton događanjima tijekom tjedna.

S pozitivnije strane za svakodnevne Amerikance, vijesti o cijenama goriva bile su izuzetno dobre. Prema Fox Businessu, zabilježili su najniže cijene goriva za praznike otkako je počela pandemija, a neka područja u Denveru čak su prijavila cijene ispod 2,00 dolara po galonu. Štoviše, troškovi tradicionalnog zahvalnog obroka značajno su pali. Walmart je, na primjer, izvijestio o padu cijene zahvalnog obroka za 25% u usporedbi s prošlom godinom, s cijenama puretine na najnižoj razini od 2019. godine.

Kako privodimo kraju ovaj tjedan, prisjećamo se otpornosti i predanosti američke nacije. Slavimo postignuća administracije američkog predsjednika Trumpa i napredak ostvaren na ključnim područjima. Ipak, ostajemo ujedinjeni u našoj žalosti zbog gubitka Sare Beckstrom i u našim neprekidnim molitvama za oporavak Andrewa Wolfea. Neka bude pod našom i Božjom zaštitom. Do sljedećeg tjedna, Vaš prijatelji iz Totalno.HR.

Please pray for Guardsman Sarah Beckstrom who tragically passed following the attack on our National Guard near the White House. Continue to pray for the total recovery of Guardsman Andrew Wolfe who was also senselessly attacked. President Trump signed executive orders on the Muslim Brotherhood and the AI Genesis Mission, held a call with President Xi Jinping of China, and announced that he will “permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries.” The President hosted the Annual White House Turkey Pardon where he granted Gobble an unconditional pardon. He also mentioned that last year’s turkeys needed to be repardoned due to the use of the autopen, and joked that this year they should have been named Chuck and Nancy. Unfortunately due to the horrendous policies of previous presidents, he then had to deliver remarks on the tragic shooting of Guardsman Sarah Beckstrom and Guardsman Andrew Wolfe. On Thanksgiving, he participated in a call with service members where he announced Sarah’s passing. Vice President Vance and the Second Family visited Fort Campbell in Kentucky to serve meals to soldiers and Army families for Thanksgiving and he delivered remarks to service members. First Lady Melania Trump welcomed the Official 2025 White House Christmas Tree and joined President Trump for the pardoning of Gobble and Waddle in the Rose Garden.  GAS PRICES | According to Fox Business, Americans are hitting the road this Thanksgiving with the LOWEST holiday gas prices since the pandemic. Colorado sources even reported some prices below $2.00 in Denver!  TERRORIST DESIGNATION | President Trump designated certain Muslim Brotherhood chapters as foreign terrorist organizations due to their efforts to engage in or facilitate and support violence and destabilization campaigns that harm their own regions, United States citizens, and United States interests.  AI | An executive order was signed enabling the start of The Genesis Mission which will be a dedicated, coordinated national effort to unleash a new age of AI‑accelerated innovation and discovery that can solve the most challenging problems of this century.  UKRAINE & RUSSIA | Secretary Rubio stated, “We made a tremendous amount of progress [on Ukraine peace talks]… It was probably the most productive day we have had on this issue — maybe in the entirety of our engagement, but certainly in a very long time.” President Trump also stated that he looks forward to meeting with both parties together when they have an agreement to end the war.  CHINA | The President had a productive call with President Xi Jinping on a number of topics including illicit drug trafficking and a potential deal for our farmers. President Trump will participate in a historic visit to China in April, and a state visit at the White House to follow, both signs of great progress.  MAJOR EVENTS President Trump Participates in a Call with Service Members, Nov. 27, 2025  IN THE NEWS WATCH | Treasury Sec.
