Victor Davis Hanson: From Enemies to Allies? Trump’s Quid Pro Quo With Silicon Valley

President Donald Trump held a tech summit last week where a number of notable tech CEOs and gurus—who previously were vehement opponents of Trump—met at the White House. This included former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, members of Google, and more. It’s a quid pro quo: If major tech companies stop offshoring and start investing billions of dollars in the U.S. and create jobs, then Trump will approve their investments, productions, and use of greater energy sources. Victor Davis Hanson breaks it all down and explains how this move is similar to what former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt did when World War II broke out on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “These CEOs don't like Trump. They're opposed to him ideologically, but they have one thing in common: They're patriotic.” “Maybe, just maybe, Trump can do for the United States in these emerging, absolutely essential fields of artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, robotics, genetic engineering what FDR did in the War Production Board.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.
