The Daily Signal - Victor Davis Hanson: Trump Sends So-Called ‘Expert’ Reeling After Historic First 6 Months

Nothing could have prepared our so-called “experts” for the growing success of the Trump administration. They insist they alone could only predict the outcome of numerous policies. And yet, time after time, they continue to get it all wrong.

Look no further than President Donald Trump’s tariff policy.

Trump’s tariffs did not send the U.S. into a recession, as some of the so-called “experts” believed would happen. Instead, they’ve generated over $100 billion in revenue so far this year, according to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. 

An outcome some experts thought would be impossible.

These miscalculations not only apply to the economy, but also on issues such as immigration, military recruitment, and foreign investment, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:”

The Source - SA Food Bank and rising food insecurity in South Texas

Food banks have already directly felt the impact of federal funding cuts, including the termination of pandemic-era programs that provided $1 billion annually to combat food insecurity. Anti-hunger advocates are particularly concerned about the cuts to SNAP, arguing that for every meal the San Antonio Food Bank distributes, SNAP provides nine. As a result, families will be forced to ration food or lose benefits entirely.array(3) { [0]=> string(20) "https://www.tpr.org/" [1]=> string(0) "" [2]=> string(1) "0" }
