Dr. Victor Davis Hanson was the keynote speaker at the Pepperdine School of Public Policy on Thursday, May 2, 2019 at the Spring 2019 Patricia Tagliaferri Dean’s Distinguished Lecture entitled Trump: Tragic Hero … or Just Tragic? Hanson discussed his new book, The Case for Trump, where he explored how a celebrity businessman with no political or military experience triumphed over sixteen well-qualified Republican rivals, a Democrat with a quarter-billion-dollar war chest, and a hostile media and Washington establishment to become president of the United States.
