Description: While many of the Left, and even some of the Right, believe the Trump administration’s decision to park the USS Gerald R. Ford off the coast of Venezuela is a precursor for war, Victor Davis Hanson argues that President Donald Trump’s America First base and recent U.S. history in the region may shine the light on an entirely different outcome on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

MTG and Thomas Massie do not represent MAGA, Trump and Vance do. Trump and Vance received 77,302,580 MAGA votes last year (source: FEC). MTG and Massie are isolationists who are obsessed with Epstein. I am not, and I believe a very large percentage of the proud members of MAGA are not. I am against forever wars which have cost us tens of thousands of lives and trillions of dollars and get us nowhere. The Iranian nuclear bombing operation and the Venezuelan drug cartel operation are exactly the type of operations that succeed. The Democrats, MTG, Massie and all the others in Congress who do not support these operations are just mad because Trump did not come to them and say "Mother may I".
