In part II of this conversation, Peter Robinson speaks with Victor Davis Hanson about Donald Trump’s second term and Hanson’s book, The Counter-Revolution: The Fall and Rise of Donald Trump and the MAGA Movement. Their discussion covers the economy, Iran, China and Taiwan, NATO, and Latin America, centering on Hanson’s argument that Trump’s confrontational style can produce significant results while alienating allies and voters. Robinson presses him on Trump’s communication failures, divisive conduct, and family business dealings, which Hanson acknowledges could undermine his presidency. The conversation also touches on Hanson’s recovery from cancer surgery, the Republican Party’s shift toward populist nationalism, and Trump’s potential historical legacy.
