And he knows how to make deals, and he's gonna recruit some great people into his administration, I hoped. And growth can solve a lot of our problems. So if we can get rid of a bunch of regulations that are holding back the country, We can have a president. Obama was a, I would say, not a pro-business president. He did not love the business community. He did not love successful people.

And having a president who just changed the tone on being a pro-business president, I thought would be good for the country. And that's basically what I said. And I would say Trump did a lot of good things. And a lot of people, you can get criticized for acknowledging that. But I think the country's economy accelerated dramatically.

And that, by the way, the capitalist system helps the people at the bottom. Best when the system does well and when the economy does well, you know, the black unemployment rate was the lowest in history when Trump was president. And that's true for other minority groups. Uh, so he was good for the economy.

Um, and he, you know, uh, he recognized, uh, some of the challenges and issues and threats of China early. Uh, he kind of woke up NATO. Uh, now again, the way he did all of this stuff, you can object to, um, but you know, NATO actually started spending more money on defense.

In the early part of Trump's presidency because of his threats, which turned out to be a good thing in light of, you know, the ultimately the Russia Ukraine war. And I think if you analyze Trump objectively based on policies, he did a lot of good for the country. I think what's bad is he did some harm as well. I do think civility disappeared in America with Trump as president.

A lot of that's his personal style. And how important is civility? I do think it's important. I do think he was attacked very aggressively by the left. by the media that made him paranoid. It probably interfered with his ability to be successful. He had the Russian collusion investigation overhang. And when someone's attacked, they're not gonna be at their best, particularly if they're paranoid.

I think there's some degree of that. But I'm, you know, I'm giving kind of the best of defense of Trump. You know, just you look at how he managed his team, right? Very few people made it through the Trump administration without getting fired or quitting. And, you know, who say they're the greatest person in the world when he hired them and they're a total disaster when he fired them.

It's not an inspiring way to be a leader and to attract really talented people. I think the events surrounding the election, you know, I think January 6th, he could have done a lot more to stop a riot. I don't consider it an insurrection, but a riot that takes place in our Capitol and where police officers are killed. or die, commit suicide for failure as they sought to do their job.
