The Daily Signal - Victor Davis Hanson: Trump Can Still Lead Without a Third Term

Trump is sending a clear message: he's not going away quietly.


“ If you read The Washington Post, even The Wall Street Journal, but especially The New York Times, the question is, can MAGA survive after Trump steps down?


“ There's arguments on both sides whether a popular movement can survive its creators. …   Al Gore won the popular vote in 2000 to succeed him. And what did Barack Obama do? He repudiated Clintonism and the Democratic Leadership Council. And he went hard to the Left. And the result of that is we got a destroyed or an irrelevant Democratic Party.”

The Daily Signal - EXPOSED: How Wall Street Funnels US Money to CCP

In this eye-opening episode of The Daily Signal podcast, Rob Bluey interviews Chris Iacovella, CEO of the American Securities Association. Iacovella recently testified before Congress about a disturbing financial reality many Americans are unaware of.

Iacovella explains how Wall Street exploits multiple loopholes that allow companies controlled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to access American capital markets, despite laws prohibiting foreign ownership of Chinese companies.

Key points discussed:

  • How American investments are unknowingly funding CCP activities, including the internment of Uyghurs, PLA weapons systems, cyber attacks against the U.S., and what the State Department has classified as genocide
  • The "Variable Interest Entity" loophole: Americans who think they're buying shares in Chinese companies like Alibaba are actually only purchasing rights to a contract with a Cayman Islands company that contracts with the mainland Chinese company
  • The "Passive Index" loophole: Asset managers include mainland Chinese companies in index funds sold to U.S. investors, allowing these companies to access American capital without complying with U.S. laws and regulations
  • Bipartisan legislation from Rep. Andy Barr and Sen. John Cornyn aimed at identifying Chinese companies with ties to the military or specific technology infrastructure
  • Why China's economic competition is fundamentally unfair: "When you have slave labor, no environmental laws, no OSHA laws, and no labor laws, of course it's going to be cheaper"

Iacovella also explains the mission of the American Securities Association as a non-Wall Street trade association representing approximately 100 member firms across the country. Its mission is to "promote investor trust and confidence and to facilitate the flow of capital to small businesses across America."

Listen now to understand how your investments might be inadvertently supporting a foreign adversary and what you can do about it.

The Daily Signal - Victor Davis Hanson: Canada Missed Out on a Huge Opportunity 

Canadian nationalism might have won the battle, but Trump will win the war. 

 

Earlier this week, newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, a liberal, voted the White House. 

  

Mark Carney ran a campaign emphasizing Canadian nationalism, which successfully won him the election. 

 

However, nothing will negate the undue stresses Canada’s NATO spending shortfalls and trade surplus have on its relationship with the U.S. Now, President Trump is taking him to task, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:”

The Daily Signal - Victor Davis Hanson: Germany’s Decent From ‘Europe’s Powerhouse’ to ‘National Suicide’

Last week, Germany’s domestic intelligence agency classified the Alternative for Deutschland (AfD), which came in second in the recent federal elections, as a far-right “extremist organization.” Today, the agency lowered AfD’s designation, still allowing surveillance, but under “stricter judicial oversight”, according to Politico. 

 

In less than a decade, Germany went from being the “Powerhouse of Europe” to embracing an all-out strategy of “national suicide.” How and more importantly, why did this happen, asks Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words?”

 

“Twenty years ago German physicists were the top in the world—nuclear physicists. They would start investing again in nuclear power. They would start up natural gas generation. Wind and solar would be integral, but a small part, because they would need reliable, cheap energy to compete on the world market. They would join the United States and look at China and say, "This is intolerable, this system of mercantilism." They would close their borders. They would go to an assimilationist model and require immigrants that came legally to fully become Germans. They would do all of that. But instead, when one party is advocating much of what I just talked about, they demonize it because it's out of the norm. And the norm, unfortunately, in Germany today is national suicide.”

The Daily Signal - Victor Davis Hanson: The ‘Egregious’ Pollsters’ Bias Against Trump, Explained

Mainstream media would have you believe that Trump’s first 100 days were a failure—despite securing the border and strong economic gains. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the polling regarding Donald Trump’s early 2025 presidency on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” and asks the question: Were pollsters reflecting public opinion, or manipulating it?


“There were analyses after each of the 2016, the 2020, and the 2024 elections about the accuracy of polls, post facto, of the election. And we learned that they were way off in 2016. They said they had learned their lessons. 


“They were way off in 2020. They said they learned their lesson. And they were way off in 2024. And why are they way off? Because liberal pollsters—and that's the majority of people who do these surveys—believe that if they create artificial leads for their Democratic candidates, it creates greater fundraising and momentum.

 

“ If you look at the polls that were the most accurate—Mark Penn was very accurate. He's a Democratic pollster. But especially, the Rasmussen poll and the Insider Advantage and the Trafalgar poll. … They have Trump ahead by anywhere from two to three points after 100 days.”
