Obama’s 7‑Month War vs. Trump’s 30 Days: The Left’s Selective Outrage | Victor Davis Hanson

But they keep running into the same problem: Historically, they did the same thing, and on a much larger scale, argues Victor Davis Hanson on part 1 of his examination of the ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:”

“The war is legal, and the hysteria about it is media-driven, as a part of the left's ability to weaken the presidency.”
