In this video, Hanson dives deep into how progressive critics consistently misrepresent Trump\u2019s use of tariffs, portraying them as reckless or harmful without acknowledging their strategic purpose. He argues that the left\u2019s opposition isn&#8217;t based on economic facts, but on a broader ideological rejection of Trump&#8217;s America-first agenda. From renegotiating trade deals to holding China accountable, Hanson highlights how Trump\u2019s tariff strategy was a deliberate effort to restore fairness and protect American industry\u2014something past administrations failed to address. Meanwhile, the same critics who decried Trump\u2019s tactics often supported similar measures under different presidents, revealing a clear double standard. Hanson contends that Trump\u2019s presidency didn\u2019t just disrupt global trade norms\u2014it exposed how deeply entrenched and emotionally charged the left\u2019s narrative has become. Ultimately, this video unpacks how Trump\u2019s unorthodox methods\u2014and the left\u2019s fierce reaction to them\u2014shine a light on the deeper political and cultural divide in America.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May 23, 2025 &#8220;This Is WAY Bigger Than I Thought\u2026 | Victor Davis Hanson&#8221; In this video, Victor Davis Hanson exposes the left\u2019s contradictions in their attacks on Donald Trump and his trade policies.
