WTH: Can Trump Really Build a Golden Dome to Protect America? J.D. Crouch Explains

Donald Trump has promised Americans that in three years, with the
help of Congress’ “Big Beautiful Bill” and a $25 billion-dollar
downpayment, his dreams of a golden dome protecting the nation
will become a reality. Inspired by Israel’s highly successful
Iron Dome, Trump has selected General Guetlein of the Space Force
to lead the missile defense shield project, signaling a focus on
space that is bound to ratchet up the arms race in the skies.
With our adversary’s missile capabilities growing by the day, can
a ‘golden dome’ save us? What does it mean for deterrence? And
how much time and money will it take?


Dr. J.D. Crouch has had a distinguished diplomatic career as a
leader in national security and missile defense. Dr. Crouch
served in the administrations of presidents Ronald Reagan, George
H.W Bush and George W. Bush as Assistant Secretary of Defense for
