About this episode
Since his second inauguration, the “experts” have been relentless in their mission to minimize the Trump administration’s efforts with the economy, immigration, Iran, and beyond. Meanwhile, the stock market has soared. There were ZERO illegal border crossings in May, according to CBP. Iran’s nuclear infrastructure was left severely damaged without the threat of war on the horizon. All this, thanks to the decisive and, at times controversial, actions taken by the Trump administration. Despite these verifiable results, Victor Davis Hanson argues that much of the elite resistance to Trump stems not from data, but from disdain. And that bias has blinded them to basic common sense. He breaks it down on this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “Donald Trump is pretty commonsensical. If you take a million people away that were working in the shadows at cheaper wages and hurting American job opportunities and you make countries that had asymmetrical tariffs and were responsible for a $1.1 trillion trade deficit and you can stop that and they still want entry into the American market, then you can have an economic renaissance. “You should try to shed your Trump Derangement Syndrome because it's really affecting your powers of judgment and analysis. And you're going to lose readers. You are so wedded to the idea that Donald Trump is going to destroy the United States because of your personal animus, you cannot see that most people have commonsense solutions.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.
