Cal Thomas Commentary 10-21-26

There's plenty to criticize about President Trump, and I've done my share.

But unlike many other critics, I've written about some of the good he's done.

Start with the border.

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, and restoring our sovereignty.

Trump banned men who think they're women from playing in female sports.

He cut taxes, but sadly did not reduce the $40 trillion debt.

The Iran war is frustrating, but how frustrating would it be if the fanatics in Tehran developed a nuclear weapon and used it on Israel and us? Household income was up in August and September.

The poverty rate is 10.2%, the lowest on record since 1959.

The media, of course, ignored it.

Car makers are coming back to America.

Nationally, homicides are down substantially.

If politics were logical, Republican candidates would be on the way to expanding their congressional majorities.

But that depends on whether you vote.

I'm Cal Thomas.
