Victor Davis Hanson Tells the Hard Truth No One Wants to Face...

The media is in a frenzy—Trump’s tariffs are back, and the stock market is panicking. But Victor Davis Hanson asks: Are these even tariffs at all? Or is Trump playing a completely different game—one that global elites don’t want you to understand?

From China to Canada, Mexico to the EU, Trump isn’t shielding weak American industries—he’s wielding economic power as a diplomatic weapon. Whether it’s stopping mass illegal migration, holding NATO allies accountable, or forcing Beijing to play fair, Trump is using trade leverage to correct decades of imbalance. And guess what? It’s working.

Hanson breaks down the real strategy behind Trump’s so-called tariffs—why they aren’t what the mainstream claims, why Wall Street is overreacting, and why global leaders are suddenly scrambling to play by Trump’s rules.
