Victor Davis Hanson: The Trump Deranged “Experts” Were Wrong. Again.

President Donald Trump’s track record flies in the face of conventional wisdom from so-called “experts”— but they will be the last to admit it.

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.”

The left appears to think they can bend reality by agonizing.

Appears that many of these so-called experts are nothing more than grifters carving out themselves a piece of the taxpayer pie. Similar to our so-called reps that miraculously become millionaires within a few short years.

The most amazing thing is that President Trump needed only common sense and courage to fix what previous administrations have broken. That’s how stupid and spineless previous administrations have been.

It’s fun to attribute his success to 4D chess, but that’s really not what’s going on. Most of President Trump’s “genius moves” have been no-brainers.

Most previous presidents, in our lifetime, are missing a vital organ (or structure, really) in the body -

- commonly called “a spine” ... they want to play nice with democrats and the press (I almost repeat my self there.) Then, there are the Rinos that undermine everything too.

It it “personal animus” or simple peer pressure from other idiots that claim they are better people. So much of the left is nothing by self delusion.
