One of the most stunning and yet tediously repetitive features of America’s Donald Trump Experience is the expectation that President Donald Trump is going to become someone else.  

People across the political spectrum seem permanently immune to the realization that the country has elected a man who says and does extraordinarily shocking things. With metronomic consistency, they exclaim, “Can you believe what he said?  He’s just completely nuts! Where’s my 25th Amendment?” 

And then, everyone recovers, reverts to their prevailing view of Trump, and buckles up for the next outrage, which lands with no less unjustifiable surprise. 

But it seems Trump may have gone just a bit too far, even for conservatives, with his most recent aggravations of the natural order. Their odiousness, along with the alleged rancid smell of the Iran war, are causing a slow slinking away from a president they perceive as gone stinky. 

Trump conjured up and posted on Truth Social an AI image of himself as Jesus healing the sick, then deleted it and claimed he thought it had portrayed him as a doctor—you know, one of those doctors who dress in first-century robes. 

He engraved a post onto Truth Social that said Pope Leo XIV, who opposes the Iran war, is “WEAK on Crime” and “terrible for Foreign Policy,” telling him to “get his act together” and suggesting that he, Trump, was responsible for Leo being chosen pope. 

He said “a whole civilization might die tonight” instead of just threatening to bomb Iran. 

None of this is great. People have a right to be offended. But they should consider a few things before withdrawing support for Trump. 

Conservatives during the presidential primaries in 2016 ceded some of the moral high ground they felt they always held by choosing Trump, a great but imperfect man.  

They had a choice closer to moral perfection in Jeb Bush, but they concluded, correctly, that these harrowing times demanded something else. America’s self-destruction seemed too near for a conventional candidate. It was time to get a little rude and go on offense.  

We got what we asked for. Over the course of two terms Trump has altered the course of U.S. history, diverting and even reversing leftist agendas that seemed hopelessly unstoppable. 

• He revamped the Supreme Court, resulting in myriad decisions favorable to conservatives, most prominently the demolition of Roe v. Wade, something long thought a lost cause. 

• He completely plugged up the massive hole in the border—which presupposes that there still was a border—ending the ceaseless waves of illegal immigration into the U.S. that threatened to swamp our culture with something else. 

• He changed the entire conversation on “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” polite terms for dropping our Judeo-Christian culture into the Memory Hole and replacing it with a Marxian, totalitarian dictatorship commanding obedience to dissolute collectivism and relativism. In high schools, colleges, and the workplace, woke equity is now on the defense. 

• He defeated the Islamic State caliphate, and he dawned a new age of Arab-Israeli cooperation with the unprecedented Abraham Accords. 

• He withdrew from the Paris climate accords and refocused the country back toward fossil fuels, ensuring Americans’ pockets wouldn’t be picked by European internationalists while China cheerfully burned through its coal. 

These are pivotal realignments that eclipse ephemeral measures such as a point added or subtracted to GDP or an increase or decrease in the crime rate, as important as those things are. 

I would personally add ending—or at least vastly delaying—Iran’s nuclear ambitions to the list, but that’s exactly what some conservatives don’t agree with. And that’s the point. It’s a disagreement. An argument. Not grounds for divorce. 

If you agreed to marry someone who spewed profanities and insulted the neighbors, don’t be surprised if that doesn’t change after the ceremony. And don’t act shocked if he turns the volume up sometimes. 

To repeat, we got what we asked for: Trump. 

Let’s also remember that much of the outrage Trump mobilizes is pure Madison Avenue, designed preponderantly for effect, manufactured in the vast PR-generating region of his frontal lobe. He’s selling—propaganda for friends, deception for enemies. 

Unlike many other presidents, he’s warm to actual human beings whom he has no political use for. He says hello to the janitor. His exaggerations and insults can be unpleasant and outrageous, but there’s a humanity and even an honesty within them.  

He does things I don’t like. But he’s prevented many worse things I don’t like. 

Trump is a towering figure who will be written about for centuries. Sometimes that indecorous tower—excessively embroidered with Trump gold—reflects sunlight. Sometimes it casts very dark shadows. It sways a bit with the wind, but in the end, it has stood for conservative values more resolutely than any of the smaller edifices easier on the eye, and ear.  

We conservatives made our bargain with Trump long ago. Let’s own it.

The Senate is about to try to use one of Congress’ most powerful tools—the budget reconciliation process—to fund border security and immigration enforcement over Democrats’ objections.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., is plowing ahead with plans to release a framework for a party-line budget bill that would inject funding into Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), as well as Customs and Border Patrol (CBP).

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has gone without appropriations since Feb. 14, as Democrats have refused to pass a bill that would fully fund the agency.

President Donald Trump, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-La., and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., have embraced a plan to fund ICE and CBP through reconciliation, while funding the rest of the agency through appropriations.

Under the budget reconciliation process, the House and Senate have to pass a budget resolution including instructions for the committees involved in crafting the bill.

This mostly non-binding document, which is not the underlying law itself, sets the budgetary targets for the relevant committees.

In the case of this reconciliation bill, Thune has repeatedly reiterated his desire for the focus to be “skinny” and focused solely to funding border and immigration enforcement, rather than pulling in other priorities.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act Republicans passed in July was used to both extend the expiring 2017 tax cuts and enact campaign promises such as eliminating taxes on tips.

Reconciliation does not allow for provisions that are more policy-oriented than budgetary.

There is a camp of Republicans who want to use reconciliation to advance a host of ambitious legislative goals.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., for example, has said Republicans should “put as much stuff in there as we can get,” listing defense spending and election reforms as priorities.

Proceeding to consideration of a budget resolution triggers a process known as the “vote-a-rama,” under which senators can offer amendments to the resolution.

The process also requires another vote-a-rama once the Senate votes on the bill itself.

These marathon voting sessions usually serve as a test of party discipline, as the majority party tables the minority party’s amendments

Some Republicans are eyeing this process as an opportunity to slip in additional provisions.

“I would love to do as much as we can do, and there will be several amendment opportunities to do that,” Sen. Jim Banks, R-Ind., said last week.

Any Senate budget resolution would also have to be approved by the House in order for Congress to advance to reconciliation.

The House Freedom Caucus, a large faction of hardline conservatives in the House of Representatives, has already come out in opposition to funding only part of DHS through reconciliation, instead calling for funding the entire agency for the remainder of Trump’s term.

On April 26, the Virginia Supreme Court will take up the appeal of two rulings made in Tazewell district court that found procedural laws were broken — or were going to force registrars to break laws — on how elections in Virginia are administered, and how the state constitution can be suspended in order to secure a partisan victory.

The justices ruled that the right of the people to vote on issues outweighed determining if the vote was called in violation of Virginia law.

Citing 100-year-old precedent in their order to allow Tuesday’s redistricting referendum election to proceed, the justices said, “The Courts cannot interfere to stop any of the proceedings while this permanent law is in process of being made.”

Here are the issues the justices must decide after the April 21 election.

First, in advancing their redistricting hopes, the Democratic state lawmakers made use of a special session that had been called specifically for budget reconciliations — which, conveniently, the Democratic majorities in both houses had not been able to do by the end of October. The Speaker of the House simply announced they would take up new matters while convened.

Second, the Vermont General Assembly passed the referendum which, in Virginia law, must wait until an “intervening election” takes place before it must pass the Assembly a second time. This is designed to give voters the ability to oust a member who supports a referendum that they do not.

Supporters of the move claimed that the election on Nov. 4, just days after the special session, would be counted as the “intervening election,” even though Virginians had been voting for a month and a half prior. Their argument was that all those early voting days are nothing more than a procedural window of opportunity, and that elections only happen when the votes are tallied on Election Day.

Finally, the Assembly forced registrars to execute a referendum without the requisite 90-day period in which the referendum could be put on display for voters to view.

So, the question is, should the Supreme Court take into consideration the outcome of Tuesday’s vote?

The court itself said it was going to wait until after the votes were cast, and the justices did state that if “vote No” wins, they will consider the matter moot. So, it appears that they will not pretend that they are unaware of the outcome.

What if it’s close? The UVA Center for Politics said at the end of last week that they expected “Yes” to prevail — by a very slim margin, 51% to 49%.

What about the spending disparity? Do the justices consider the fact that it took three times as much money pouring into the state from outside to fund the campaigns? Virginia Public Access Project reported last week that only 3% of the money behind “vote Yes” has come from actual Virginians.

Moreover, if turnout is low on top of that, especially below 50%, how could justices claim that something as essential as a constitutional amendment be suspended for six years given all those circumstances?

What would you do if you were a judge on the Virginia Supreme Court?

The world is currently in the midst of a new digital revolution. AI is being implemented into every part of our lives. There is no escaping it—not even for America’s public schools.

Within the next few years, many of the nation’s K-12 schools will be integrating AI into their daily operations. This will likely include everything from assisting teachers in creating lesson plans to helping students with research assignments.

We must prepare for and counter the coalition of left-wing activists who intend to use AI as another vehicle to push diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives onto the nation’s youth.

As schools throughout the country have begun to invest in these tools, bad actors are plotting how to maximize this new technology as a superhighway into the minds of children. To no one’s surprise, the National Education Association (NEA) is leading the charge by providing the nation’s school districts with a policy that places DEI at the forefront of AI in classrooms.

The NEA is notorious for using membership dues from teachers to promote political advocacy, including accusing President Donald Trump of “fascism” and hosting training for teachers on “Advancing LGBTQ+ Justice and Transgender Advocacy.” Now the NEA has introduced a sample school board policy for school districts throughout the country to use as a template that explicitly centers equity and “algorithmic bias.”

The teachers’ union describes algorithmic bias as “unwanted unfairness in how a computer detects patterns or automates decisions” that is based on “characteristics and identities such as age, class, culture, disability status, ethnicity, gender, location, nationality, political affiliation, race, religious background and practices, and/or sexuality.” The sample policy states that AI tools should “undergo regular audits to identify and mitigate biases.”

In other words, the NEA wants AI tools to be tweaked.

Rather than reaching the most accurate conclusion for a problem, the NEA is calling for AI to come to the most politically correct answer, one imbued with new biases inspired by DEI advocacy. Providing students with anything other than the factually correct answer for any problem is a disservice to them, but the NEA does not care.

Unfortunately, the largest school district in the nation is promoting problematic AI policy as well. New York City Public Schools has guidance on how the district will use AI going forward. In this guidance, the district explains that it is “actively building the capacity to also review for algorithmic bias, equity impact, and instructional effectiveness.”

Left-wing activists are now even creating new groups to assist schools in implementing DEI initiatives into their AI tools for students and teachers.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has launched a new initiative called the “Responsible AI for Social Empowerment and Education” (RAISE) to do exactly this. MIT claims that this initiative’s mission is to “rethink and invent a more positive and inclusive future of education and learning in the era of AI.” In an “AI and Ethics” curriculum for K-12 students that is part of RAISE, MIT explains that students will develop “critical thinking around topics like algorithmic bias, optimization, and socio-technical systems.” Lenox Public Schools in Massachusetts is already using this program.

This is not a warning that bad actors may some day attempt to use AI in schools to spread terrible ideologies to students. The fact of the matter is that they already are.

Parents who care about their children’s future and Americans who simply want our nation’s schools to prioritize education now have another reason to be worried.

Last year, President Donald Trump issued an executive order for the federal government to explore and support using AI to further the education of students and supplement training provided to educators. While the president issued the directive with good intentions, bad actors like the NEA and MIT will use the opportunity to embed their corrupt ideology into a greater number of classrooms.

If left-wing activists already have their grip on AI tools before schools implement them, the problem will become institutional and much harder to fix. Concerned Americans must step up now and reach out to their local school leadership and school boards before it is too late.

If your school is in the process of adopting AI, make sure there are no DEI strings attached.

Editor’s note: This is a lightly edited transcript of today’s video from Daily Signal Senior Contributor Victor Davis Hanson. Subscribe to our YouTube channel to see more of his videos.

Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal.  

We’re now beginning the seventh week of military operations against Iran. There’s a lull now during a negotiation, but the war continues. 

If you look at Iran, it’s a very strange situation because its command and control have been decapitated. Its military has been, I guess you’d call it, inert. There is no air force. There are only PT boats left of its navy. Its army is of no use, since this is an air war. Its nuclear, military, industrial complex has been bombed to smithereens. It’s probably lost half a trillion dollars in a half-century-long investment in military hardware and military industries, at the expense of a very restive population. 

So what was it thinking? How did it get itself in this place? What happened to it? Well, it had an expansive view of itself—an inflated view. Why? 

During the Obama administration, the Obama State Department and President Barack Obama himself sent messages to Iran that maybe a Shiite crescent—Tehran, Damascus, Beirut, Gaza, people in Yemen—might balance the Sunni Arabs of the Gulf with their money and the military power of the Jewish state of Israel. And Obama might step in from time to time to adjudicate this—I guess they called it creative tension.

In other words, we said there was no moral difference between the Iranian bloc and its opponents, when there was, of course. 

Well, that gave the impression to Iran that we were afraid of them, or that we would always be willing to make concessions. When Biden came in, the first thing he did was beg them to get back into the Iran deal. That inflated their egos even further. Then he lifted sanctions and gave them $100 billion of new revenue. 

Meanwhile, the Iranians were looking at Russia going into Ukraine, and the United States had done nothing other than say our reaction would hinge on whether it was a minor or major invasion. Then came Oct. 7. The Iranians had subsidized Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, and their proxies and clients in Syria and Iraq, with the idea that they had created a ring of fire around the Jewish state.

After the Oct. 7 massacres—which they denied having knowledge of, but which they obviously strategically planned with their clients—they thought the United States wouldn’t do anything. And they were pretty much right about that during the Biden administration, if not worse. 

We kind of distanced ourselves from Israel, and Iran knew that. They felt that after Oct. 7 it would be such a traumatic experience for the Israeli government that it wouldn’t do much. A lot of this was hinged on the pseudo-reputation they had of being militarily invincible, but there was never any proof that was true. 

They ran the Iraq war of 1980, and they didn’t do very well. Khomeini had to sue for peace, even though they had almost one and a half times the population of Iraq. But they were the terror of the Middle East. People said, “Whatever you do—go into Afghanistan, go into Iraq, bomb—don’t get near Iran.” 

They’re crazy people. They have 93 million people. They’re the second-largest country in the Middle East by population. They’re the second-largest by area. They’re dangerous people. 

They’re fanatic Shiites, and they’re willing to die for their cause. But if you actually looked at what they had done, they had achieved that reputation through surrogate use of terrorism—blowing up embassies, blowing up Marine barracks, assassinating individuals, sending weaponry to kill Americans in Afghanistan and Iraq—but they’d never really shown any impressive performance on the battlefield, either at sea, on the ground, or in the air. 

And so they thought they could get away with Oct. 7. That gave them an even greater inflated sense of self, because they kept telling us that between all of their proxies and their own arsenals they might have 300,000 short- and long-range missiles, rockets, and drones, and they would collapse Israel under a sea of explosives. 

They thought that even after Oct. 7, Israel wouldn’t dare do anything to them because they had sophisticated Chinese and Russian air defenses. What they didn’t count on were two things. 

Oct. 7 changed the entire mentality of Israel. It was the greatest loss of Jewish life since the Holocaust. Israelis said you cannot live like this. You cannot sustain a country like this. You can’t have a sword of Damocles descending on you periodically. 

So we’re going to have to go to the head of the snake. Hezbollah we’ll deal with. Yes, Hamas we’re going to deal with. The Houthis we will deal with. The people in Syria we’ll deal with. But in one way or another, they get money and weapons from Tehran. 

And we don’t believe they’re indomitable—not now, not after Oct. 7. In that 12-day war last year, they destroyed the entire air-defense system of Iran, and then they began taking out its military capability and its nuclear industry and infrastructure. 

They called us in and asked us, and we were more than ready to comply because it was in our national interest. In about 25 to 30 hours, we blew up their nuclear facilities. We thought that might be the end. We thought they got the message—but, of course, they didn’t. 

Their proxies began to shoot missiles again. They began, according to our intelligence, to resume work on their nuclear facilities and nuclear proliferation trajectory. And so the United States entered negotiations with them again. Like all negotiations with the Iranians, they were drawn out. They were meant to delay while they rearm, enrich more uranium, or sic their terrorist proxies on Israel or individuals in the West through terrorist attacks. 

But again, they didn’t count on two things: Donald Trump doesn’t care, and Benjamin Netanyahu doesn’t care. So they resumed the war. Now, as we go into the seventh week, all of Iran’s assets are destroyed. It’s losing more than $400 million a day in lost revenue because of the U.S. blockade. It has no cards to play. 

All it can hope is that someone will call off the United States. And we will talk about that in a later video—who those something-or-somebodies are that might save Iran at the 11th hour. Because it will not be able to save itself if the United States decides to take out its bridges, take out its electrical generation capability, and force it back to the negotiating table—not to negotiate, but to submit to terms.
