And there was an interesting quote in Semaphore, because you bring up Tom Cotton, I don't know if this was Tom Cotton, but it was plainly a person from that kind of Tom Cotton, China hawk wing, just this morning, where he was basically just complaining anonymously to Semaphore about the way this had all been done in such a clownish manner.

So as to not successfully isolate China and not successfully be able to put any pressure on them to decouple from the whole world because of the reasons that I just mentioned. And so I think that I think that it's difficult for them because, again, they don't really want to cut the administration loose or bring down the wrath of God on themselves.

But at no point were the real China hawks really pleased with either the former tariffs or this kind of back off of them now.
