Victor Davis Hanson: "Proof, Something HUGE is Coming…"

Victor Davis Hanson dissects Donald Trump’s unconventional strategies in reshaping international relations, highlighting how Trump flips left-wing rhetoric to challenge the global status quo. From Greenland to the Gulf of Mexico, Hanson reveals how Trump’s “Art of the Deal” tactics expose hypocrisies, disrupt complacency, and force renegotiations that often leave the United States in a stronger position.

Trump’s moves on Canada reveal a blunt message: free defense and favorable trade deals come at a cost. Hanson explains how this pressure unsettles Trudeau’s government and stirs debate within conservative provinces like Ontario, which could hypothetically align more with U.S. interests.

Meanwhile, Trump’s Greenland offer, dismissed as audacious, pushes Denmark to reassert its colonial ties by increasing investment—ironically highlighting the very imperialist tendencies they criticize in others. Mexico is similarly put on notice, as Hanson outlines how their reliance on U.S. remittances and border leniency is scrutinized under Trump’s leadership, with sharp critiques of their inaction on border security and the devastating toll of fentanyl on American lives.

Hanson connects these dots to Trump’s critiques of Chinese influence in the Panama Canal, a vital American-built infrastructure now vulnerable to exploitation by adversaries. Trump’s approach, Hanson argues, forces reevaluations of these relationships while mirroring the woke movement’s focus on renaming and deconstructing histories—flipping the script to expose global double standards.

In Hanson’s view, Trump’s strategy isn’t just disruptive; it’s a wake-up call to complacent allies and adversaries alike. By using irony and left-wing arguments to challenge the existing order, Trump reclaims the initiative in a world where everything is up for renegotiation.
