My new and long @townhallcom column on what I think @realDonaldTrump is doing in Iran. I’d do it differently, but he’s neither crazy nor about to give up.

Unlike too many people in my business he loves the country which has flocked to his movies for 50 years, made him rich and famous, and which forgave him his myriad human stumbles.

In 1980 Ronald Reagan convincingly won the presidency against Jimmy Carter, and also tipped the Senate. But the democrats maintained control of the House and Tip O’Neill remained speaker. That meant a lot of people voted for Reagan, but then voted democratic down ballot. They could do this knowing bipartisanship was possible - that the country had a coherent population, and differences were not so wide that people would refuse to work together.
Reagan was able to push his tax reduction plan through Congress. Tip O’Neill basically said ‘this is what the people voted for, so we will work with you.’ That could not happen today.
The US electorate is balkanizing because of too much immigration too fast - which is exploited by unscrupulous politicians. We will probably not see the kind of bipartisanship of the early 1980s again in our lifetimes - if ever. And this is why a 1924 style moratorium on immigration is necessary, coupled with aggressive assimilation policies and deportations of those who don’t really want to be American. And it’s why birthright citizenship is a disaster in present circumstances.

Please cry about it
I I’ll never forgive people who voted for Trump. This is on them. The Lincoln Memorial is hallowed ground. Where our greatest president, who gave his life to end slavery, is commentated. Where the Gettysburg Address is written. We live as graffiti now.

No, his property is his. It is not yours.
Elon Musk is now a trillionaire. More specifically, his net worth is $1.2 trillion or $1200 billion. That number doesn’t even compute for most of us, so here is some helpful context:
The USDA needs $18.8 billion to feed every child in the US school system breakfast and lunch each day. Elon could pay for that 64x and still have money leftover.
The World Food Program needs $13 billion to feed the 110 million hungriest people on earth. Elon could pay for that 92x and still have money leftover.
The National Alliance to End Homelessness needs $9.6 billion to provide housing for every unhoused person in the United States. Elon could pay for that 125x and still have money leftover.
The average American teacher makes $74,495 per year. Elon could pay the annual salary of over 16 million teachers and still have money leftover.
The problem is not that we don’t have enough money. The problem is that we have built a world where one person can accumulate more wealth than the GDP of 180 countries while children go hungry, families drown in medical debt, teachers are forced to buy school supplies for their students, and people sleep on the streets.
This is a complete moral failure.

What does this genius think Musk’s salary is?
If Musk gave just 1% of his salary per year to homeless people, that would be $100,00,000,00 a year — enough to provide clean clothes, food and safe needles to every homeless person in the world, 8 times over.
Let that sink in.

If Trump had lost, America’s entire 250th 4th of July would be about gay pride, apologizing for a history we shouldn’t be apologizing for… and DEI nonsense.

I bought a bunch in 2015. Thank you @elonmusk

Anyone could have bought Tesla stock for $2 in 2012. They’d be on a generational run. No need to deal with a hedge fund or VC or 20% carry. $2 on Fidelity. The purchase of a lifetime. All due to Elon.

congrats to Elon and all who made a lot of money today
but remember that if the left ever gets back in power, they will put you in jail and take all of this away
the next frontier is to make sure that never, ever happens.

When public morality was better, people had these feelings (envy ranks 2nd to pride on the seven headly sins) , but understood that it was deeply shameful to express them.
Now, as public morality has collapsed, people openly say things like this as a sign of their supposed virtue.

I don’t know about you, but I’m absolutely convinced that this is the thing that absolutely occurred
Suleiman Obeid, known as the “Pelé of Palestine,” was killed by an Israeli tank while standing in line trying to secure food for his five children.

This is Samuel Corner, sledgehammer raised, ready to strike the police woman lying at his feet, arm held out in a vain plea for mercy. Samuel Corner is not a martyr nor a "young activist", he's just a common-or-garden thug.

So far in 2026: We’ve had TEAM USA win Gold in hockey. We’ve had astronauts circling the moon. We’ve got the World Cup here. We have UFC at the White House. Everyone is getting skinny. We’re curing pancreatic cancer. It’s America’s 250th.
AND YOU’RE BLACKPILLING?

Unsuccessful people love to blame successful people for their own failures.
If you have no savings and no retirement after working for nearly 40 straight years, you made poor life choices.
That’s reality. I don’t care if it angers you.
Hell, I bought my first house when I was an E4 with a family on only my income. No one helped me do it.
The younger generation loves to whine about how they are broke, yet they DoorDash food and eat out multiple times a month, or waste money doing something else they find more important in the short term.
Most have never even thought about making a budget or a savings plan.
And most businessmen that are successful and wealthy accomplished their wealth by not only working hard, but also by taking risks and pushing for something they had to build or create themselves.
Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn’t, but successful people don’t just sit in a dead end job for almost 40 years and blame all of their misgivings on someone who has built multiple extremely successful businesses.
They get out there and mold their own destiny.
Victimhood culture is so boring…

I like how there’s a new rule about political influence when someone really rich finally intervened on behalf of normal people
He'll do more of what he's already done, corrupting our political system by spending grotesque sums of money and wielding far more influence over electoral outcomes than any individual should have.

Counterpoint: The United States is not responsible for feeding people in other countries. If it’s that important, other countries can go feed them. We’re under no moral obligation to do so.
The richest man on Earth dismantled the organization that feeds the poorest children on earth.
The definition of evil is being a trillionaire in a world where millions of children are starving.

Counterpoint: Congressional district should not be reserved for political representation by a particular race. Not least of all because that particular phenomenon always results in a Democrat so it’s effectively a Democrat reservation. Pound sand.
The Supreme Court is allowing Republican politicians to wipe out Black political representation and power.
We need to make it impossible for politicians or the courts to manipulate these maps once and for all.
