Douglas Murray: I Didn’t See This Coming From Trump
PLUS Victor Davis Hanson - The Proof is Right Here – Something BIG is Coming…
Douglas Murray lays it out clearly…
Trump is the first Western leader in living memory who didn’t just talk tough on immigration - he actually showed it’s possible to reverse decades of elite negligence.
While European politicians like Salvini or Farage shrug and say “it can’t be done,” Trump proved the opposite.
Deportations happened.
Criminal illegals were sent back.
The fatalism that has defined Europe for a generation was shattered.
Murray contrasts this with Britain’s Nigel Farage, who openly admitted mass returns are impossible, and with Italy’s Salvini, who promised but had no plan.
For Europe’s right, that’s devastating: what’s the point of demanding secure borders if you concede defeat before the fight begins?
Trump’s example is historic—because if America can do it, Europe can no longer hide behind excuses.
This isn’t just about the U.S. border.
It’s about the West itself.
Either leaders prove sovereignty means something, or they watch their nations unravel under the weight of illegal migration, double standards, and cultural fragmentation.
Trump’s fight is America’s fight—but it’s also Europe’s last warning.

The Proof is Right Here – Something BIG is Coming… | Victor Davis Hanson
Our Note: This is an earlier video of VDH, the message of which is still VERY relevant.
Victor Davis Hanson delivers a searing critique of America’s modern immigration culture- where newcomers from some of the world’s most troubled regions are given unprecedented opportunities, only to turn around and attack the very country that welcomed them.
From AOC’s Puerto Rican roots to Rashida Tlaib’s Palestinian background, from Ilhan Omar’s rise from Somalia to Congress, Hanson argues that the U.S. bends over backward with scholarships, affirmative action, and DEI advantages - yet is rewarded with ingratitude and hostility.
Drawing on vivid historical memory, Hanson contrasts today’s victimhood politics with the sacrifices that built the nation - Gettysburg, Belleau Wood, Okinawa, the Battle of the Bulge, Vietnam.
He challenges new arrivals and foreign-born politicians to acknowledge those sacrifices instead of erasing them, to praise the system that made their success possible rather than condemning it.
He also aims at the flood of foreign students—many from illiberal or openly hostile regimes—who pay top tuition but bring anti-American activism to campus.
For Hanson, student visas and U.S. residency are privileges, not entitlements, and they should be reserved for those who respect the foundations of the West: free markets, constitutional government, independent courts, and the Judeo-Christian ethic.
The message is blunt…
If you hate America, why fight to stay?
Gratitude is not weakness -
it’s the glue that keeps a nation from tearing itself apart.
