What You'll Learn:
Trump’s critics not only oppose him—they despise him. But what is Trump’s actual track record regarding policy? Does he deserve every last spew of caustic invective? Historian and classicist Victor Davis Hanson dedicates his book to America’s “deplorables” and argues that, though often crass and unpredictable, Trump’s job performance has been unexpectedly remarkable.
Key Insights:
- Trump’s competition for the GOP presidential ticket would have continued the sad tradition of pathetic Republican candidates.
- The media’s harping on Trump’s uncouth manner has obscured economic growth and far more positive job performance polls.
- Trump’s foreign policy has revitalized the United States’ influence abroad.
- Midterm election results strongly suggest that the public is by no means dissatisfied with the president’s record.
