Victor Davis Hanson: Jobs Up. Borders Closed. Trump’s Second Term Is Just Getting Started

Four months into Trump’s second term—and despite nonstop media hostility—he’s nearly tied or ahead in major polls. How is that possible?

It’s simple: A booming economy, a foreign policy grounded in realism, a secure border, and popular working-class policies—all contrasted by a Democratic opposition mired in chaos, antisemitism, and no credible alternative.

Victor Davis Hanson discusses this on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

“Every time people say we’re headed for a recession or his trade war is gonna tank the economy, data comes out. … Inflation is down. Energy prices are way down. Economic growth is up. Joblessness is down.

“ Most of the issues that he’s trying to undo of the progressive project, the public supports him. And his Democratic opposition—four months into his tenure—has still completely lost its mind and not only does not offer an alternative agenda, but personally, emotionally, psychologically puts people off.”

Trump does some firing today. He has a lot more firing to purge the neocons.

These scoundrels should have never been hired.

Trump’s progress will get the brakes applied even harder than the judges are trying to do now when the many of the Republicans contrive to allow the Democrats to take Congress next year. Republicans are uncomfortable in control. They prefer to be in “opposition.”

WHATEVER Trump has accomplished or will accomplish will be with little if any help from the other two branches.

They remind me of cowardly children who have grown to manhood and never once bloodied anyone’s nose or had their own bloodied. A bunch of pusillanimous punks. Disgraceful.
