The Daily Signal - Victor Davis Hanson: How Donald Trump is Reshaping America in Just 7 Weeks

With so much information—and misinformation—circulating, it's time to take a step back and assess the bigger picture of Trump’s impact in his first 7 weeks in office.

 

On today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson breaks down Trump’s rapid push for fundamental, disruptive change—a counter-revolution reshaping America’s economic, energy, and foreign policy landscape. 

 

“ Trump is in a race. He's in a race to enact fundamental, disruptive change, a counterrevolution, and it's going to be rough for a while, as he pointed out. But the things that he has already done are going to have, shortly or maybe even midterm, fundamental advantages for the United States”…

 

“if he's able to solve the Ukraine war, and if he is able to have a general peace in the Middle East, that will be the most substantial presidency—if he does nothing else—that we've seen in 50 years.”
