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.

You know, when you go to the crowd and the crowd says a certain thing, you got to trust the crowd. Um, but, uh, usually in who wants to be a millionaire, it's a landslide in one direction.

So, you know, my dream and what I, you know, I've tried a little bit, played politics in the last little period to support some alternatives to Trump so that we have a president.

And I hate the other side.
