The Hypocrisy Behind Obama's Latest Attack on Trump | Victor Davis Hanson
Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own WordsShow Notes
Barack Obama is taking aim at Donald Trump’s White House renovations, personal wealth and foreign policy, inviting scrutiny of his own record.
On “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson and Jack Fowler weigh those attacks against Obama’s controversial presidential center, growing fortune and foreign policy decisions, including the Iran nuclear deal and Benghazi, raising questions about political hypocrisy.
Hanson also addresses claims of fabricated election polling, warning that misleading numbers can influence voter enthusiasm, fundraising and turnout.
Trump’s foreign policy draws comparisons with Richard Nixon’s Cold War diplomacy, including the case for a negotiated end to the war in Ukraine and questions about Europe’s dependence on American military support.
The episode also revisits the devastating Battle of Verdun and its lasting impact on France, alongside lessons from Agincourt about military strategy and the consequences of war.
