Victor Davis Hanson on Trump’s Economy vs The Media Narrative

Victor Davis Hanson delivers a sharp reality check: Donald Trump’s political survival doesn’t depend on Epstein, Brennan, or Clapper — it depends on the economy. And despite months of media warnings about trade wars, stagflation, and imminent collapse, the numbers tell a very different story.

While headlines from outlets like the Wall Street Journal screamed “disaster,” reality painted another picture: record-high stock markets, rising job numbers, shrinking reliance on foreign labor, and even a budget surplus in May. The press expected doom — but the Trump economy refused to break.

In this video, we break down Hanson’s argument, why the economic numbers matter more than the noise, and how Trump’s policies are defying elite predictions.
