CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 21, 2026
THERE IS PLENTY TO CRITICIZE ABOUT PRESIDENT TRUMP AND I HAVE DONE MY SHARE. BUT UNLIKE MANY OTHER CRITICS, I HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT SOME OF THE GOOD HE HAS DONE.
START WITH THE BORDER, PERHAPS HIS MOST IMPORTANT ACCOMPLISHMENT. THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAD INVITED THE WORLD HERE AND WE WERE LOSING OUR COUNTRY. THE U.S. ACHIEVED NET NEGATIVE MIGRATION IN 2025 – THE FIRST TIME IN 50 YEARS – REVERSING DECADES OF UNCHECKED MIGRATION AND RESTORING CONTROL OVER OUR SOVEREIGNTY
TRUMP BANNED MEN WHO THINK THEY ARE WOMEN FROM FEMALE SPORTS. HE CUT TAXES (BUT SADLY DID NOT REDUCE THE $40 TRILLION DEBT).
YES, THE IRAN WAR IS FRUSTRATING, BUT HOW FRUSTRATING – AND WORSE – WOULD IT BE TO ALLOW THE FANATICS IN TEHRAN TO DEVELOP A NUCLEAR WEAPON AND USE IT ON ISRAEL AND US?
HOUSEHOLD INCOME WAS UP IN AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER. THE POVERTY RATE IS 10.2 PERCENT, THE LOWEST ON RECORD SINCE 1959. THE MEDIA IGNORED IT.
CAR MAKERS ARE COMING BACK TO AMERICA, PRODUCING JOBS AND TAX DOLLARS. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOME OF OUR DEMOCRAT-RUN CITIES, HOMICIDES ARE DOWN SUBSTANTIALLY.
IF POLITICS WERE LOGICAL, REUBLICAN CANDIDATES WOULD BE ON THE WAY TO EXPANDING THEIR CONGESSIONAL MAJORITIES, BUT THAT DEPENDS ON WHETHER YOU VOTE. I’M CAL THOMAS.
