Summary

Whether you like President Donald Trump or not, he is embracing policies that BOTH Democrats and Republicans saw as the solution in the past. Only difference is, today, Democrats are terrified that President Trump’s policies not only the viable solution, but that they’re actually going work, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” “What's happening is we're watching the most dramatic counterrevolution in our history. “This is more fundamentally changing than even the Reagan revolution that rebooted the American economy and won the Cold War. And it's even more—I don't know—more fundamentally transformative than the Roosevelt first 100 days when he took the country hard left with the New Deal. “I really think [Democrats] have no alternative to addressing the debt, the budget deficit, the trade deficit. And there's only one pathway. And whether you like Donald Trump or not, or you think he's crude, he is embracing policies that in bygone days both Democrats and Republicans saw was the solution. And the Democrats are terrified that it is not only the viable solution…” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.
