Trump has revitalized military recruitment and turned the armed forced from “fat” to “fit,” reshaped America’s foreign alliances, and delivered bold results that no one expected—and many actively warned against.

Victor Davis Hanson breaks down why, in the face of naysayers and “experts” claiming it couldn’t be done, this even more of a momentous feat on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

“ The economy did not crash or crater. Wall Street is at all-time high. Stock prices, job growth unexpectedly—that’s a word have to use because the Left always says it’s going to get very angry. The angry Left. And they’re very angry and they say, ‘It’s not going to work.’ And then they have to say, ‘Well, it worked.’”

“ The idea that all of their Ph.D.s, all the letters after their names, all of their ZIP codes, all of their prestige meant nothing. That here we have a billionaire builder from New York, with a Queens accent, who’s transactional. And he was able to create a revolutionary change in culture, in social life, in economics, on foreign policy, on border security. And we can see the fruits of that in just three weeks, contrary to what everybody told us. It’s startling. It’s embarrassing for them.”
