So Much Winning

Victor Davis Hanson laid it out straight: Trump’s not just defying expectations — he’s making experts eat their words. In just three weeks, the results have been pretty hard to argue with.

Here’s the punch list of wins Hanson highlighted:

  • Lowest illegal border crossings ever under U.S. Customs & Border Protection

  • Economy didn’t crash thanks to tariffs — stock market hitting record highs.

  • Military recruitment up and armed forces slimmed down and refocused

  • Foreign alliances reshaped, with bold moves that "experts" said would fail.

  • Iran’s nuclear program weakened — without needing a full-blown war 

Veteran analysts scoffed. Ph.D.’s rolled their eyes. But here we are: borders controlled, markets up, military refocused, diplomacy redrawn, Iran contained.

Hanson: “All their letters after their name meant nothing.” Trump’s transactional style is delivering real wins — and nobody saw it coming.
