Trump's Counterrevolution Explained | Salt Lake City News

Victor Davis Hanson’s explosive new book, “The Counterrevolution,” argues that Donald Trump’s political resurrection after 2020 is the most remarkable comeback in American presidential history.

He contends voters care more about daily affordability than foreign policy, and though Trump’s team touts lower inflation, it falls short with independents struggling with rising costs.
