“Victor Davis Hanson just exposed what the media refuses to admit about Trump's first 100 days.
This was a masterclass breakdown—and it changes everything you think you know about Trump's second term.
Victor Davis Hanson kicked off the list with the most jaw-dropping revelation of all.
In just 100 days, Trump pulled off a border miracle that the so-called experts said was impossible.
“He has completely reversed 10,000 people coming in a day, over 300,000 a month, 12,000,000 in 4 years to essentially 97. 98% of the border is secure,” Hanson said.
“In fact, there is no open border now.”
And Trump’s just getting started.
Hanson explained that the next battle is already underway:
“Now, he has pivoted to try to address the 12 million people that Joe Biden not only let in, but scattered all over the United States on often state federal local subsidy.”
It’s a massive mess. But if Trump could shut the border when everyone said it couldn’t be done — what’s stopping him now?
“That's going to be a task,” Hanson admitted.
“But he has shut the border. No comprehensive immigration reform, none of the things they said was necessary, none of the things that said that it was impossible, that hampered by. He just did it. We've never seen anything like it.”
He didn’t ask for permission.
He didn’t wait for Congress.
He just got it done.
Next up: energy. Hanson said Trump hasn’t just altered America’s energy strategy—he’s completely transformed it.
The Green New Deal is gone.
The electric vehicle mandates? Dead in the water.
Instead of wasting billions on failed climate fantasies, Trump is tapping back into the energy sources that made America strong.
Clean coal is being revived. Fracking is expanding. O
il and gas fields are being reopened. And America is once again exporting LNG to Europe, which desperately needs it.
During the Biden years, oil prices soared to $120 a barrel.
Today, they’ve dropped by half—and Trump isn’t draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to fake those numbers like Biden did before the midterms. He’s preparing to refill it.
The message is clear: under Trump, energy independence isn’t a dream—it’s reality.
Then came a move that few presidents would touch.
This was a mini revolution.
Instead of dancing around the DEI issue, Trump simply walked in and ended it.
Hanson called it “the third rail”—the issue no one dares confront. But Trump didn’t hesitate.
He pointed to a Supreme Court ruling that declared race-based admissions at Harvard and UNC unconstitutional and used that momentum to wipe DEI from federal agencies and push back against its corporate grip.
“The law is on Donald Trump's side,” Hanson said. “The court decisions are on Donald Trump's side.”
And the cultural shift has been fast and dramatic. For years, Americans were told to judge people by the color of their skin. Now, Hanson said,
“We’re doing exactly the opposite of what Martin Luther King taught us.”
On the economy, Trump has shattered expectations and flipped the global trade order on its head.
“Everybody said he wiped out the stock market because he insisted on not just free trade, but fair trade,” Hanson said.
They mocked him for taking on China. Now the world is lining up to make deals.
“And he said he was going to sanction China. And he did. Now all of a sudden we have 70 countries trying to negotiate. And as I’m speaking, nations such as Italy or Japan want to make a deal,” Hanson explained.
So what’s the plan?
“A deal is they’re not going to run up surpluses at the same extent. We have a $1.1 trillion trade deficit.”
And Trump’s momentum is just beginning.
“Donald Trump is going to get in the next few weeks a few major nations. And once he does to make a deal, all the others will not want to be without a chair. When the music stops, they will want to follow. When they follow. China will be eager to negotiate because its efforts to get Europe on its side have failed.”
Trump isn’t just fixing America’s economy — he’s rewriting the global rules of the game.
On foreign policy, Trump is restoring America's strength — and making peace possible again.
“If you look very quickly abroad, Donald Trump is still trying to find peace. And no, he’s not Putin’s puppet. He’s been very tough on Putin,” Hanson said.
And Trump’s strategy is tough where it counts.
“He suggests he would have a secondary oil boycott on nations that bought Russian oil, something Biden never imagined. But he is getting frustrated by both sides, and he’s putting renewed pressure in the Middle East.”
Iran is crumbling.
And Trump isn’t playing games.
“Iran is at its weakest point. Israel is ready to take out the nuclear facilities to the extent it cannot without sophisticated heavy bombers. And Donald Trump is not looking for an optional war. He’s telling the Iranians, time is running out. Settle, dismantle.”
The Red Sea is open for navigation. The Houthis are in retreat,” Hanson explained.
There’s no appeasement here — no deals with terrorists.
“There is nobody in the United States who wants to negotiate with Hamas or Hezbollah. It’s an entirely new game.”
Meanwhile, China is starting to sweat.
“China is very worried that its companies are going to be delisted, that are fraudulent from the stock market in the United States. They’re very worried,” Hanson added.
And finally, Hanson closed with this: Trump’s first 100 days have been revolutionary.
Not since Reagan or FDR has a president driven this much change in so little time. That, Hanson said, is exactly why the system is panicking.
“No one in their right mind thought anybody would try to stage a counter-revolution and be so successful in the first hundred days.”
This isn’t just another shift in policy.
It’s the end of an era—and the beginning of something new.
