Trump yesterday, I couldn't watch it. I can't. He was at the West Point graduation. I saw some pictures. He was in a MAGA hat. I saw a clip, as I mentioned earlier, where he was talking about trophy wives. I saw that he went golfing right afterwards. I don't know if there's much more to say about that, but I want to just give you an opportunity to... Share any thoughts you have.

He is proud. I'm blanking on his name right now, but I have read a little bit about him and he is proud and it's the self-selected group this time. And so, yeah, no, there is no really social comeuppance anymore. And so it's enough to really make you wish you believed in hell. So that's something I'm going to work on over the next few weeks.

I want to talk about the actual policies. Trump spoke on the tarmac about Putin and how something's really changed with that guy, and then put out this extensive bleat. I guess before I read it, just for context for folks who have been checked out over the weekend, the most...

intense drone and missile strikes of the entire war targeting Ukraine happened over the weekend, targeting civilian targets, obviously, in addition to military targets in cities across Ukraine. So just very, very ugly stuff. And this is the president's reaction to that. Thank you very much. This is a war that would never have started if I were president.

This is Zelensky's, Putin's, and Biden's war, not Trump's. I'm only helping put out the big and ugly fires that have been started. So I've got a lot of thoughts on that pleat, but why don't you take the lead?

Well, there's several thoughts. So point one is that he can't help but attack Zelensky and Biden. He can't just simply say what Vladimir Putin is doing is wrong. And you notice when he says to Zelensky, there's just one time in here where it says, and it better stop. He's not saying to Putin, And the bombing of people better stop. He never says that.

He says the stuff coming out of Zelensky's mouth better stop. So the one time where he kind of butches himself up to feel tough enough to tell somebody to actually change their behavior, he's talking to Zelensky, not Putin. I think that's important to note.

It's also important, I think, to note the contrast between, again, as I mentioned, kind of this West Point speech in the video and Hegseth where they're talking about how our warfighters are tough and we're not doing drag shows anymore and our military is just going to be strong again versus, again, this statement which –
