Victor Davis Hanson Explains Why Trump ‘Terrifies’ the ‘Out-Of-Touch Wealthy Elite’ of Both Parties

Victor Davis Hanson said Monday on Fox News that former President Donald Trump “terrifies” the “out-of-touch wealthy elite” because they lack compassion and understanding of the average American’s concerns.

Pundit Victor Davis Hanson suggests that former President Donald Trump’s populist coalition reveals the cracks in a Democratic establishment increasingly out of touch with middle-class America.

Hanson argued that Trump has redefined the Republican Party by recasting it as a coalition of upper-middle- and lower-middle-class citizens, leaving both traditional Republicans and Democrats scrambling to respond.

And he said we’re an upper-middle- and lower-middle-class party, and everybody’s invited, and that’s why it terrifies the old, never-Trump elite on the Republican side,” Hanson continued.

Hanson suggested that Trump’s populist coalition reveals the cracks in the Democratic establishment, which he characterizes as increasingly out of touch with middle-class America.

Hanson reflected on Trump’s ability to energize his base by shifting the GOP’s focus from the elite class to a broad cross-section of American workers.

While the GOP has long been painted as the party of “wealthy white people” and golf-playing elites, Hanson says, Trump has inverted that image by replacing race with a focus on class.
