Summary

President Donald Trump has been the catalyst for a lot of the world’s current upheaval—Iranian threat decimated, Donroe Doctrine enforced in Latin America—and both members of his base and his opponents are making sure we know he’s to blame. Three quarters of these conflicts, however, are reaching a resolution, explains Victor Davis Hanson on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “There is a good chance they could turn out with the United States in a preeminent position that we haven’t seen since at least World War II.” 👉 The Daily Signal cannot continue to tell stories, like this one, without the support of our viewers: http://dailysignal.com/donate 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest short videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.
