In a powerful and eloquent dismantling of the liberal media’s latest narrative, esteemed historian and scholar Victor Davis Hanson appeared on the Laura Ingraham show to expose the desperate wish-casting surrounding President Donald J. Trump’s enduring influence. With his signature command of history and current events, Hanson systematically destroyed the baseless claims that President Trump is losing his grip on the Republican Party, arguing instead that the relentless attacks against him have only solidified his strength.
The conversation began with Laura Ingraham highlighting the media’s newest fabricated line of attack, asking for Hanson’s reaction to the press peddling the idea that Trump is “losing his influence in the Republican Party.” Hanson immediately identified this as a recurring and failed tactic by the left, tracing it back to their earliest attempts to destroy the President. “You know, they said that for three months, four months, five months after January 6th, he was all through, he was all washed up and then they didn’t even have a serious primary,” Hanson stated, pointing out the sheer failure of that previous prediction. “It didn’t even, no one even got near him and the main candidates withdrew very quickly.”
Hanson masterfully described President Trump’s unassailable position within the political landscape, a reality the left refuses to acknowledge. “It’s the same thing and they can’t decide whether they want to run against Trump or that he’s not going to be there, but whatever it is, he dominates the party.” He painted a picture of undeniable dominance, adding, “He’s like a colossus that just strides over the party and the country and they know that and they’ve tried everything, Laura.”
The historian then cataloged the unprecedented wave of lawfare and persecution launched against the President, noting that each failed attempt has only served to make him more powerful. “They’ve tried to raid his house, they’ve de-balloted him, they had five lawfare cases, 91 charges, indictments and he’s kind of a, anything that doesn’t destroy him makes him stronger.” Hanson then looked forward to the tangible successes of the America-First agenda, which will further cement this strength. “He’s going to have a booming economy next spring when all those foreign investment, this more energy development, more tax reduction, deregulation, it’s going to be a good year and I think everybody knows it.”

In a stunning summary, Hanson contrasted the President’s growing power with the left’s descent into desperation. He pointed to the recent seditious rhetoric from Democrats urging military insubordination as a sign of their utter bankruptcy. “I think the left, they’re reduced to nothing and they’re cutting these videos that are calling for military insubordination and violating a lot of the elements of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, Article 88, Article 90, Article 92 and they’re so desperate, but there’s no defection.” His final assessment was a powerful rebuke to every liberal talking point: “I think he’s stronger than he ever was.”
