Truth & Beauty Make a Comeback. Oh Happy Day.

Epic revelations land every day. Like tectonic plates, they rumble the earth — trade deals that reorder the world economic order, tariffs that flood the inbox of the US Treasury, raw intelligence about the utter corruption of our political class.

In a few short months, President Trump has destroyed the World Trade Organization, restored the US manufacturing sector and authorized the de-classification of documents attesting to his own persecution by Clinton & Company.

But he has also shifted the culture, from perversity to beauty, from bigotry to fairness, from advantages for the self-entitled privileged to a level playing field for the rest of us. Issuing executive orders against men in women’s sports, going after Harvard for refusing to dismantle its bigoted DEI programs and its rank antisemitism, booting transgenders out of the military and women’s prisons, transforming the Oval Office into a place of stunning opulence, he was left an extraordinary imprint. Consider:

In 2022, at the height of the transgender madness, Calvin Klein put out an ad for underwear just in time for Pride Month. It was meant to school us, I suppose, in the name of tolerance, to accept depravity and obesity as normal, to ignore what our lying eyes told us, that a big hairy man was wearing a sports bra, and shed our fat phobia.

This week, three years later, American Eagle unleashed a series of ads for its jeans, with a brilliant logo and a gorgeous model — sexy, blond and thin.

And soon afterward, Dunkin Donuts joined the celebration of beauty. Texas-born actor Gavin Casalegno even bragged on his good looks.

"Look, I didn't ask to be the king of summer. It just kind of happened. This tan? Genetics. I just got my color analysis back. Guess what? Golden summer. Literally."

The Far Left understood the import of this moment, claiming the ads were “racist dog whistles” and showcases for “eugenics.” Ironic coming from Dems who clamor for abortion on demand and grow hysterical — and file massive lawsuits — when the federal government tries to de-fund Planned Parenthood, founded by Margaret Sanger in 1916 precisely to kill babies in large immigrant and black families.

Most of us don’t look like Sydney Sweeney or Gavin Casalegno. Maybe our genes aren’t that good. Maybe we ate too much enjoying ourselves at a restaurant. Maybe we’re too old or too wrinkled to show our bodies. But the thing of it is, we know beauty when we see it. And the return of cultural celebration of beauty is a tonic. Like wandering through an arboretum or nature preserve, it calms our nerves. The world is right again. God gives us all gifts, and we should celebrate them, not denigrate them.

To purveyors of transgender smut, and to the corporations (hello Bud Light) that embraced the trend, who tried to convince us that fat is beautiful or healthy, that men could be women and look better than women, we give you a Pinocchio. Or anyway we would if Glenn Kessler were still the fact checker at the Washington Post. Thankfully, he resigned this week, prompting the Federalist to call it, “a sure sign that one of the most toxic trends in journalism is dying off.”

Famous for issuing four Pinocchios to Republicans and rarely any to Dems, he used the cover of journalism to mask his partisan bias. His record is, well, deplorable.

He decried as “cheapfakes” videos suggesting Biden was cognitively impaired. He called it “virtually impossible” COVID leaked from a lab. This week, Matt Taibbi admonished him for downplaying the import of the tsunami of documents de-classified by DNI Tulsi Gabbard, the ones that have sent Clapper, Brennan and others into a storm of deleting twitter accounts and lawyering up.

This week Robert Kennedy Jr. praised President Trump for bringing beauty to the Oval Office. He said he has been visiting the room for 65 years — since his uncle, President Kennedy served in office — and he has never seen it look so beautiful.

Kennedy didn’t mention the $200 million ballroom Trump is building — completely funded with private donations — near the East end of the White House. Construction is set to begin in September, marking the first significant structural addition since the Truman Balcony was built in 1948. Trump says East Room is too small for large state events, holding only 200 to the new building’s 650. Maybe he should also point out that $200 million is quite a bit less than Jerome Powell’’s $2.8 billion and much overrun renovation of the Federal Reserve, on taxpayer dollars.

One thing I know. The new ballroom will be finished on time, and beautiful.

Because in Trump world, the Golden Age is here, and beauty is back.
