Victor Davis Hanson: How Trump Came Back From Rock Bottom

On the premiere episode of the Daily Signal’s new weekly podcast, “Midterm Report,” Daily Signal senior contributor Victor Davis Hanson talks about the upcoming midterm elections, his new book “The Counterrevolution: The Fall and Rise of Donald Trump and the MAGA Movement,” and the miraculous comeback of America’s 47th president. This excerpt has been lightly edited for clarity.

Rob Bluey: How remarkable is it that Donald Trump was able to mount a comeback given where he was at the beginning of 2021 when he was leaving the White House?

Victor Davis Hanson: I don’t know how he did it because he was already in his 70s, and he didn’t exercise, he ate a lot. He stayed up, he didn’t sleep. No one had ever had more pressure. We were told by Kamala Harris that Jan. 6 was comparable to Pearl Harbor and 9/11. And we were told that 10 people got killed, five police officers; they committed suicide for unknown causes within the next year, but they counted them all on that day.

The only person that died violently, we think, was Ashley Babbitt, who was shot while unarmed for the crime of entering through a broken window. So there was so much mention, there was a Pulitzer Prize winner for the New York Times that said he went there and all he saw were FBI informants. So we they wouldn’t even tell us that. So it was a stupid thing to do on the part of the rioters, and it was buffoonish, but it was not an insurrection.

And it was not a revolution. But that’s what the media said. So within the next six months, Ron DeSantis had really come into his own. And in two years he would have a stunning re-election. And people looked at the polls. He was 20 points ahead in some polls. Nikki Haley was ahead. Then all these people jumped in. I mean, crazy Chris Christie said, “I’m gonna bird dog Trump everywhere.”

They all thought he was done for. And then all of a sudden, and this was the biggest untruth, the Biden said, I had nothing to do with it, but if you look at certain things, three days in 2022 in November, after Trump declared his candidacy, three days later in the White House, Jack Smith was appointed special prosecutor.
