Victor Davis Hanson: The ‘Donald Trump is Evil’ Routine Isn’t Going to Cut It Anymore
We’re living in chaotic times:
Theater-wide war in the Middle East, mass “No King” protests in the United States, and a hysterical reaction to President Trump’s deportation efforts.
Out of all the strife, Trump’s opponents offer more “incoherent chaos and nihilism” than actual concrete solutions, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:”
“So, we're looking for positive suggestions from the opposition party. All we hear about Iran is that Donald Trump wants to start a theater-wide world war. This is what we're hearing from Democratic senators. No American president has said, “I am willing to negotiate,” more than Donald Trump with the theocracy.
“Then we had our own senator here in California, Alex Padilla. He deliberately did not wear his identification. In fact, nobody knows him. I don't know—if I saw Alex Padilla on television, I wouldn't know he was our senator. He's never done anything. But nevertheless, he had no identification. He heard that Kristi Noem, secretary of homeland security, was going to have a press conference. He barges in. He disrupts it. He tries to make a scene. And what happens? The Secret Service doesn't know who he is either, so they restrain him. And then he becomes a folk hero with his street performance."
