Victor Davis Hanson: Trump’s Dangerous Clarity

The old world is collapsing under the weight of its own contradictions — and Victor Davis Hanson is here to explain how Trump, of all people, sees it more clearly than his critics ever will.

The foreign policy class built a maze of endless wars, tangled alliances, and silent assumptions. Trump walked in, asked the forbidden questions, and shattered the script: Why can’t we strike Soleimani? Why are we guarding oil we don’t need? Why negotiate with those who only lie?

In this era of performative diplomacy and decaying deterrence, Trump didn’t just disrupt the narrative — he exposed the truth behind it: that Europe whispers what it won’t say aloud, that Iran’s regime runs on apocalypse, and that Israel stands as the only serious check in a collapsing region.

Victor lays out the logic of a presidency that refuses to die — and a world quietly hoping Trump makes the hard choices they’re too weak to face.

This isn’t recklessness. It’s reality — unfiltered.
