Trump's Triumph, Trump's Try-Again, and a Different Kind of Migrant
By Monica Showalter
Clarice Feldman is on vacation, so I borrowed from my 'week in review' column an editor's pick of the week's top stories, modified for the article format. It's one of many things contained in our Members Weekly Digest newsletter written by the editors of American Thinker. If you can, consider subscribing.
There are more than three big stories this week to sum up this time. Americans are beginning to get a sense of the new pope. Tariffs are having their impact. The CPI shows inflation shrinking. The U.K. continues to appall us with its wokesterly governance, which is now seeing some backtracking on immigration, as is Gavin Newsom's California. We can also add news of how bad Joe Biden's mental decline was and the press that covered it up. But these are honorable mentions.
At the top of the week's news is President Trump's triumph in the Middle East, a tour so successful it will be talked of and studied for the ages. The Arab states that Trump visited are absolutely thrilled to see him back in power. They gave us all a demonstration of how regal, royal, and hospitable they can be in their receptions of our president — Saudis, Emiratis, Qataris. Even the leftish establishmentarian Atlantic Council was impressed, summing it up with: "There has never been a US presidential visit to the Middle East like this one."
