Victor Davis Hanson: "Everyone Must Know This Before it is Deleted..."

Trump’s tariffs aren’t about money—they’re about survival. Victor Davis Hanson unpacks what the media won’t touch: Trump isn’t slapping tariffs to fill the treasury. He’s using them to shock the system, stop the bleeding, and warn our enemies that America’s done funding its own decline.

While Biden spends America deeper into red ink, China uses our trade deficit to build warships, missiles, and a navy that could soon dominate the Pacific. And our allies? They freeload under NATO protection, mock Trump’s urgency, and refuse to meet defense commitments—all while clinging to a post-WWII order that no longer exists.

Canada gets called out: hiding behind oceans and U.S. missile shields, selling heavy crude at a discount, while lecturing America on trade fairness and sovereignty. Hanson lays it bare—this isn’t about diplomacy anymore. It’s about leverage, survival, and economic war.

And the big picture? Massive debt. Military unpreparedness. A collapsing middle class. And a ruling elite terrified of Trump because he’s forcing a global reckoning decades in the making.

This isn’t politics. It’s the end of the old order—and Trump’s the only one willing to tear it down before it takes us with it.
