Donald Trump's outrageous demands and confrontational rhetoric may be more calculated than his critics realize.



Victor Davis Hanson breaks down Trump's "art of the deal" strategy, from threats to retake the Panama Canal and acquire Greenland to his pressure campaigns against Canada and NATO. Hanson argues that Trump's willingness to make extreme demands, provoke outrage, and put world leaders on the defensive has helped secure concessions that more conventional presidents couldn't achieve.



Is Trump's abrasive negotiating style a liability, or is it the secret to his success?

Mounting U.S. military pressure and a tightening economic embargo have left Iran’s regime searching for negotiations, political intervention, or any other escape route. Trump’s greatest mistake now would be easing the pressure when the regime may be approaching the point of collapse or losing its ability to wage war through terrorist proxies, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”

Three years after the October 7 massacre, Victor Davis Hanson looks back at the attack on Israel, Hamas’ preparations for war, and the response that followed.

He breaks down the scale of the assault, the hostages taken, the thousands of rockets fired at Israeli civilians, and the billions of dollars in aid Hamas diverted toward weapons and an enormous tunnel network.

Hanson also asks why so much of the West turned against Israel almost immediately after the attack, and why Israel is now so often portrayed as the aggressor rather than the country that was attacked.

The Cornell 7 case has sparked national outrage against the young “Jane Doe,” the seven accused fraternity brothers, and the larger group chat of men who did nothing to stop the alleged rape.



But who is guilty when all parties are intoxicated and willing? Perhaps the root of the problem is not a legal one.



While debates rage over consent, delayed reporting, and prosecutorial standards, Hanson zeroes in on a simpler, more troubling failure: not one person in that fraternity had the courage to say "this is wrong."

Steve Cortes warns that the United States could repeat Europe’s experience with mass Muslim immigration, pointing to Dearborn, Michigan, and arguing that assimilation and shared American values should play a larger role in immigration policy. He also discusses what he found while reporting in Michigan, Maine and Wisconsin and how immigration could shape major races in the midterms.



Don Palmer also breaks down The Heritage Foundation’s latest Election Integrity Scorecard, including which states have strengthened their election systems and why some states could once again take days or weeks to finalize results.
