I also didn't like the optics of Donald Trump kind of like quietly sitting at a desk with Elon Musk kind of hovering above him and kind of commanding the room. I feel like that looked a little bad, but I'm curious.
Yeah, and look... We all know what we pay in taxes every year. And it is incredibly frustrating to see where the money actually gets spent, how little of it goes toward modernizing our systems, and essentially how little of it goes to making the lives of American citizens better. There is a lot of waste.

I mean, look, one of the main things that drives me crazy is how year after year with little debate, The Congress approves more and more money for the Pentagon. I mean, the defense budget is is very rapidly approaching a trillion dollars a year. And so there has been some talk about focusing on some waste. I mean, the Pentagon has failed every single audit seven years in a row.

And so I'm excited to see what Doge focuses on in regard to the Pentagon. The other has welcomed them to come in. He's Hegseth wants that, too. So we'll see what they cut and see how much of a difference it makes.

The other area where I think that Trump can really make a difference, and I think he would go down as a historic president, is if he allowed for our Medicare system to negotiate drug prices, just negotiate.

Honestly, I think if this issue was brought to him by anyone in a very serious way, he would attempt to do it. He doesn't really care about what is or isn't allowed, right? So yeah, I mean, that would be incredible. I don't think that he's paying attention to that.
