And here's Trump just publicly basically saying that, like holding it over their head and, you know, saying that he's going to keep doing these silly lawsuits, keep attacking them, that there will be no relief from the attacks from Trump and our government just because you bend over for it.

Well, maybe there'll be relief if they just never report anything negative about Trump. I mean, you know, but I'm serious. The intimidation worked. He's going to keep doing it as long as it works. It's worked. It's worked for media companies. It's worked for businesses. It's worked for law firms. We'll see what happens to the universities.

It's worked, God knows, for the Republican Party and with Congress. And that's why we're in such bad shape, though. I mean, he is in his own cunning and insane and narcissistic way. You know, he knows that the levers of power matter. And people could snicker at him. And incidentally, Qatar, which gave him the plane, did get rewarded a little bit by him calling it, what did he call it in the tweet?

A wonderful country. Suddenly, Qatar is a really fantastic place. I wasn't aware of that. That was the conventional view here in America for this country, which hosts Hamas's leaders and so forth. But they're getting something, at least in the very short term. We'll see how much more they have to pay down the road. So it's easy for other people to

sort of snicker at the way he goes about being a mob boss but of course mob bosses they usually get their comeuppance ultimately but if you watch like american movies you know that but i don't know the real world they could do okay for a fair amount of time unfortunately yeah highly respected country cutter highly respected country it's very much i had noticed yeah

Yeah, I've got a ton of respect for the from the leaders of Hamas who they're harboring. It's easy to snicker at Trump's ham handed, you know, intimidation tactics. And as you say, they've worked. And so, you know, that cuts both ways. It doesn't really cut both ways for Bob Iger and Disney.

And I think that snickering at the people that folded is actually probably valuable at this point and pointing and laughing at them so that more people don't do this because they folded and got nothing, which was obvious from the start that that was going to be the case. that this was not like a one-time thing.
