Victor Davis Hanson shatters the left’s narrative that Donald Trump is losing influence within the GOP.

Hanson said Democrats are recycling the same tired storyline they pushed after January 6th — and it failed then just like it’s failing now. Then he delivered the line that destroys all of their efforts: “Anything that doesn’t destroy him, makes him stronger.” “You know, they said that for three months, four months, five months after January 6th. He was all through. He was all washed up and then they didn’t have a serious primary. No one even got near him. The main candidates withdrew very quickly.” “It’s the same thing.” “They can’t decide whether they want to run against Trump or that he’s not going to be there. Whatever it is, he dominated the party, he’s like a colossus that just strides over the party and the country.” “They tried to his house. They de-balloted him. They had 5 lawfare cases, 91 charges, indictments, and he’s kind of…anything that doesn’t destroy him makes him stronger.” “So he is going to have a booming economy next spring when all those foreign investment, this more energy development, more tax reduction, deregulation, it’s going to be a good year, and I think everybody knows it.” “And I think the left, they are reduced to nothing.” “They’re cutting these videos calling for military insubordination and violating a lot of the elements of a uniformed code of military justice, article 88, article 90, article 92. And they are so desperate.” “But there’s no defection, I think he’s stronger than he ever was.”

• Oh man, Victor Davis Hanson just dropped the mic on the left’s latest Trump-tantrum remix, and I’m here for it—like popcorn at a WWE SmackDown where the heel keeps kicking out at two! Picture this: Dems dusting off their 2021 “Trump’s toast after Jan. 6” script, trotting it out like a bad sequel nobody asked for. “He’s done! Washed up! Primary fodder!” they wailed back then. Cut to reality: No challengers even laced up—poof, they vanished faster than a vegan at a barbecue. Fast-forward to now: same tired plot, zero plot armor. Trump’s not just striding over the GOP; he’s doing the full Godzilla stomp, colossus-style, leaving RINOs dodging debris and begging for autographs. @overton_news
  And that zinger? “Anything that doesn’t destroy him makes him stronger.” Chef’s kiss! They raided Mar-a-Lago like a Black Friday sale gone wrong, yanked him off ballots like a petulant kid hiding toys, slapped on 91 counts of lawfare confetti—boom, he’s not limping; he’s Hulk-smashing through the rubble, emerging buffer than ever. It’s like trying to cancel Wolverine with a butter knife. Meanwhile, the left’s reduced to viral desperation reels: “Hey soldiers, mutiny time!” (Psst, that’s Articles 88, 90, and 92 of the UCMJ whispering “jail cell.” Smooth move, geniuses.) Spring 2026? Buckle up: foreign cash flooding in, energy gushers popping like champagne corks, tax cuts raining down, regs vanishing faster than my New Year’s resolutions. Economy’s gonna boom louder than a Trump rally foghorn, and everybody’ll know who to thank. No defections, no drama—just Trump 2.0, unbreakable and unapologetic. The left? They’re the sad clown car circling the arena, honking for relevance. Hanson nailed it: stronger than ever, baby! Who’s got the victory lap playlist? – Eternafinity
