Numerous individuals have offered counsel to former President Donald Trump, yet few have made significant headway in persuading him to reduce his online presence and adopt a more tactful and empathetic demeanor.
Trump appears steadfast in his belief that his “peace through strength” approach, derived from his successes in business and politics, is the most effective way to handle adversaries.
This stance has frustrated advisors who advocate for Trump to reconcile with notable figures such as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis or Nikki Haley, both of whom were former rivals for the GOP presidential nomination. However, Trump seems hesitant to extend an olive branch.
Victor Davis Hanson, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institute, is the latest to propose that Trump’s optimal path forward involves embracing a conciliatory attitude and repairing relationships with former adversaries.
During an interview on Fox News’ “Hannity,” Hanson suggested that such a strategy could help Trump unite the Republican Party and appeal to moderates, independents, and some anti-Trump factions.
The rift between Haley and Trump is evident, with Haley choosing not to endorse Trump after he directed derogatory remarks towards her. This stance contrasts with other GOP presidential contenders, with the exception of Chris Christie, who have endorsed Trump.
When asked about Trump’s campaign strategy, Hanson stressed the importance of broadening Trump’s appeal beyond his base and reaching out to diverse demographics, including African-Americans, Hispanic Americans, and young people.
Hanson emphasized that Trump has the potential to attract voters from various backgrounds if he adopts a more inclusive approach and refrains from personal attacks.
He suggested that Trump should even consider reaching out to Nikki Haley directly and acknowledging past differences, as her support could be crucial for securing votes.
Hanson underscored the significance of the current political climate, portraying the upcoming election as a choice between preserving civilization and its demise.
He expressed confidence in Trump’s ability to unite the country and appealed to Trump to focus on promoting unity and his policy agenda rather than polarizing his opponents.
Recent polling data from The New York Times/Siena indicates that Trump is leading Biden among key demographics such as women, young adults, Latinos, and Black voters, which were strongholds for Biden in the 2020 election.
