Trump designates DragonForce greatest hits album as new national security strategy

Filed · 1534

WASHINGTON — After months of deliberation, President Donald Trump has released his update to the National Security Strategy in the form of power metal band DragonForce's Greatest Hits album.

A new National Security Strategy is traditionally produced by each administration, which lays out plans to address existing and new national security challenges. Trump's strategy promises to lead Americans "through fire and flames" to "Operation Ground and Pound" until U.S. soldiers are rightfully crowned the "heroes of our time."

The strategy also warns North Korea against future missile tests.
