Nothing could have prepared our so-called “experts” for the growing success of the Trump administration. They insist they alone could only predict the outcome of numerous policies. And yet, time after time, they continue to get it all wrong.
Look no further than President Donald Trump’s tariff policy.
Trump’s tariffs did not send the U.S. into a recession, as some of the so-called “experts” believed would happen. Instead, they’ve generated over $100 billion in revenue so far this year, according to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
An outcome some experts thought would be impossible.
These miscalculations not only apply to the economy, but also on issues such as immigration, military recruitment, and foreign investment, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
