I hear that. I have been talking to a lot of people and I think this has really influenced my thinking on it. Working class people like truck drivers and janitors and people who stock shelves for a living who have been very supportive of the president's tariffs agenda. And when I say that, well, what if it raises prices? What they'll say to me is this one truck driver said so eloquently.

It's just too good to be true. It reminds me of the DNC where you literally had millionaires sitting in the box seats looking down on the regular people. And then, of course, the stage was just a parade of multimillionaire after multimillionaire after multimillionaire talking about their joy. And it was like, let them eat the joy of Oprah Winfrey.
