Uh it it it it it is he's just simply not wired that way.
And if if you really push it further, I would say, you know, it it he he seems bent on um
destroying and damaging every institution of American life for whatever reason.
Uh uh my theory is he's a um a nihilist.
I i it it's tied in with his psycholo his immense psychological disturbances, particularly his narcissism, that that to make himself feel large he has to make everything else small.
Uh well if if how do you model that?
How do you how do you war game?
How do you map out a policy for dealing with
um a a madman at the helm of a superpower who seems bent on on committing state suicide.
Uh um it's a problem that is has no parallel in any of our experience going back hundreds of years, if not thousands of years.
Uh and so
Uh that's the difficulty in, among other things, in trying to form and strategy of that that one might otherwise in terms of trade deals and that kind of thing, or even trying to figure out the politics of this.
Um so as I say, that's a superpower in a sense in that it makes puts all of us
on the wrong foot.
It makes it makes it difficult.
It's like sometimes, you know, when a when a really good hockey team plays a really lousy hockey team.
uh their flummox because the really lousy team doesn't behave the way a normal team would.
And it's very unpredictable and they'll sometimes get a strange result because of that.
We're sort of in that situation here.
So it's a superpower for a while until it isn't.
