Victor Davis Hanson: The Left Is Gearing Up Against Trump’s Counterrevolution

Victor Davis Hanson: The Left’s Anger is Proof Trump’s Counterrevolution is Working We are in the midst of the most significant political counterrevolution in nearly a century, rivaling the sweeping changes of FDR’s New Deal. Not only is Trump succeeding, he is exceeding expectations as well. But the Left is not going down without a fight. Victor Davis Hanson explains the challenges being poised against Trump’s counterrevolution, and what he believes are the next steps on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ The symptoms of the progressive project are not just the Democrats exercising power in Congress or holding the White House, it's how they get that power. And they get that power through PBS and NPR, now defunded; cable news and slanted network news, now under assault when they lie and defame and face court ramifications. “ The majority of the American people oppose [Democrats’] agenda. And they do this through the bureaucracies, through the media, through the universities, through the popular culture. And these are the very sources that Donald Trump is asking them to reform. And the government is going to shrink. The government's gonna get out of the media business. The government's gonna take a hard look at universities, who want and obtain federal funds.”

Victor Davis Hanson: The Trump Counterrevolution’s Next Moves Abroad

President Donald Trump is leading a “counterrevolution” of sorts when it comes to restoring order in America’s international relationships. Here’s the advice Victor Davis Hanson prescribes on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words”: “  We need to be very careful how we speak. The quieter we can be, the more effective and more encompassing can be the reforms. We're going to try to make sure that we're not an existential enemy of China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and an array of anti-Western societies. “ As far as Ukraine, Donald Trump is under all sorts of criticism because he, at first, had a legitimate beef with [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelenskyy. … All he has to say is, ‘Vladimir Putin did not invade during my first term. He invaded during Barack Obama's term and Joe Biden's term. Even during George W. Bush's term he invaded. It wasn't I who got us into this mess. We cannot watch aimlessly and helplessly as 1.5 million lives are consumed by death, wounding, capture, missing—these casualties.’”
