The Daily Signal Victor Davis Hanson: The Left Framed Trump on ‘Affordability’ Crisis. Here’s What Trump Must Do Now.
“Affordability” is the word going into the 2026 midterm elections—and a GOP win is incumbent on Trump’s ability to communicate the truth on the economy.
Victor Davis Hanson says that, despite recent economic wins such as falling inflation rates and tax cuts, the public perception of economic pain persists because Democrats have successfully shifted blame onto President Donald Trump from the real culprit—former President Joe Biden. How did this happen? And can the Trump administration fix this perception in less than a year? Hanson breaks it down on today’s episode of "Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”
