Four months into Trump’s second term—and despite nonstop media hostility—he’s nearly tied or ahead in major polls. How is that possible?

It’s simple: A booming economy, a foreign policy grounded in realism, a secure border, and popular working-class policies—all contrasted by a Democratic opposition mired in chaos, antisemitism, and no credible alternative.

Victor Davis Hanson discusses this on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

“Every time people say we’re headed for a recession or his trade war is gonna tank the economy, data comes out. … Inflation is down. Energy prices are way down. Economic growth is up. Joblessness is down.

“ Most of the issues that he’s trying to undo of the progressive project, the public supports him. And his Democratic opposition—four months into his tenure—has still completely lost its mind and not only does not offer an alternative agenda, but personally, emotionally, psychologically puts people off.”
