CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY NOVEMBER 20, 2025
I’VE GIVEN UP ON EXPECTATIONS THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP MIGHT CHANGE HIS LANGUAGE AND BEHAVIOR TOWARDS OTHERS, BUT IN RECENT DAYS HE HAS EXCEEDED HIMSELF IN HIS NAME CALLING AND EXCUSING OF A HORRIFIC ACT.
TWICE IN A FEW DAYS HE HAS INSULTED TWO FEMALE REPORTERS, TELLING ONE TO KEEP QUIET AND CALLING HER “PIGGY” AND THE OTHER TERRIBLE AT HER JOB AND THREATENING TO TAKE HER NETWORK’S LICENSE AWAY. EXCEPT NETWORKS ARE NOT LICENSED, ONLY INDIVIDUAL STATIONS.
TRUMP’S MEETING TUESDAY WITH SAUDI PRINCE MOHAMMED BIN SALMAN DISPLAYED TRUMP’S FORGIVENESS FOR THE MURDER OF WASHINGTON POST CONTRIBUTING COLUMNIST JAMAL KHASHOGGI IN OCTOBER 2018. TRUMP SAID “A LOT OF PEOPLE DIDN’T LIKE THAT GENTLEMAN…WHETHER YOU LIKE HIM OR NOT, THINGS HAPPEN.” HE CLAIMED BIN SALMAN “KNEW NOTHING ABOUT IT.” THAT’S NOT TRUE. BIN SALMAN ADMITTTED HE KNEW ABOUT IT, BUT CLAIMED HE DIDN’T ORDER IT AND SORT OF APOLOGIZED FOR IT.
TRUMP WANTS THE SAUDIS TO JOIN THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS SO HE CAN MAKE ANOTHER APPEAL FOR THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE, BUT HIS LANGUAGE IN THE OVAL OFFICE TUESDAY WAS INDEFENSIBLE. I’M CAL THOMAS.
