The Megyn Kelly Show · Trump's Iran Decision Approaches, Kamala's Strange New Accent, and The Key Vance Factor, with Rich Lowry and Charles C.W. Cooke | Ep. 1300 · 21 Apr 2026 podcast

I mean, I have always thought it was amazing that he behaves the way he does in the white house.

This has been a constant refrain of mine.

I'll never be president because I moved here from another country.

I don't want to be for the record, but I can't be, but if I was somehow.

Well, if I was somehow parachuted into the presidency, though, I think I would feel the weight of all those portraits on the wall looking at me and I'd behave.

But Trump doesn't.

But people can say, and I think this is reasonable, well, OK, but, you know, I get what I want out of him.

And it's more important that I get good policy or that the other person loses.

But with this one, yeah, it just seems worse somehow.

Now, I should say, I actually think that the policy here hasn't all been bad on Iran.

I'm not intrinsically opposed to it, although I have a lot of criticisms as to how it's been done.

But yeah, the Real Estate Act probably rubs people the wrong way when it's a war.

I haven't read it, but it's been relayed to me by so many people that I feel as if I have.

Well, this brings me back to one of my long-standing theories about Trump, which is that he is and will always be a real estate developer.

And this is a good thing sometimes, but in the context of the presidency, it can be a real problem for a couple of reasons.

First, because Trump does seem to believe that he can bend reality to his words.

which when you're dealing with the sandbox, which contracts often are, can be true in business.

If you go in and you make your demands, even if you're wild, it can work out, but is much less likely to work in

constitutional politics and in global politics as well.

And I do think there is some extent here to which Trump has thought that if he just says what he would like to happen, that it would happen.
