Victor Davis Hanson: The Left is Selling Chaos. America Isn’t Buying.

While Los Angeles erupts in chaos, California leaders like Gov. Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass seem more interested in defending violent protesters than upholding federal immigration law.

Despite relentless media attacks on Donald Trump—especially on the economy—polls show a 17-point edge for Trump over Democrats when it comes to economic leadership. Why? Because Americans aren't buying the Left’s hysteria.

Victor Davis Hanson exposes the glaring disconnect between elite narratives and what the American people actually believe on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

“ And yet with all of that bias and prejudicial news reporting, 54% of the American people favored deportation. Not just apprehension. Deportation.

“ The criticism of Donald Trump is not resonating with the people. On all those issues he polls favorably. And why is that? I think it’s a disconnect.”

Perhaps a repeat of Kent State is necessary.

Calm these paid misfits down enough to get them into their cages.

I agree with VDH...most Americans aren’t buying it, and I think it is likely to backfire. The Dims are brain dead in many ways.

Thank you for the ping.

Rasmussen daily has Trump at 53% approval near his high for this term.

And Rasmussen was dead on for the election and thus has a good feel for the real electorate.
