CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JUNE 10, 2025
IF BOYS WILL BE BOYS, AS THE SAYING GOES AND IS MEANT TO EXCUSE CHILDISH BEHAVIOR, SHOULDN’T MEN ACT WE EXPECT ESPECIALLY GOOD MEN TO ACT?
IN THE CASE OF THE BARB TRADING BETWEEN PRESIDENT TRUMP AND ELON MUSK, IT SEEMS LIKE THESE MEN NEVER MADE IT OUT OF THE SANDBOX. MAYBE SOMEONE SHOULD SHARE PROVERBS 15, VERSES 1 AND 2: “A SOFT ANSWER TURNS AWAY WRATH. BUT A HARSH WORD STIRS UP ANGER. THE TONGUE OF THE WISE USES KNOWLEDGE RIGHTLY. BUT THE MOUTH OF FOOLS POURS FORTH FOOLISHNESS.”
MUSK STARTED THE PUBLIC SQUABBLE BY QUESTIONING WHETHER TRUMP’S “ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL” IS IN FACT BEAUTIFUL. HE SAID THE BILL, WHICH NARROWLY PASSED THE HOUSE AND IS AWAITING SENATE ACTION, IS FULL OF PORK AND ADDITIONAL SPENDING. THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS THE OPPOSITE. THEN THE NAME-CALLING BEGAN. YOU’VE HEARD ABOUT IT SO IT’S NOT WORTH REPEATING.
WHO IS HELPED BY THIS FEUD? DEMOCRATS, PROBABLY. THE MEDIA LOVES IT. BUT THE COUNTRY FOR WHICH TRUMP AND CONGRESS ARE SUPPOSED TO SERVE DOES NOT BENEFIT.
SOMEBODY SHOULD TAKE THESE TWO TO “TIME OUT” UNTIL THEY CAN BEHAVE LIKE RESPONSIBLE MEN. THEIR BEHAVIOR IS DISGUSTING. I’M CAL THOMAS.
