I said financial.
But he was indicted and convicted here for drug smuggling, basically.
Massive, massive amounts of cocaine.
And so, yeah, Trump really cares a lot about that, allegedly, right?
Yeah, very deep.
I'm going to pretend I didn't even hear that question.
The only thing I'm going to say is, I mean, I think he is declining somewhat.
The thing about the corruption, just so we can get back, is it's so widespread, though, that among him and in the movement, if you will, among his supporters, we were talking about some of the tech guys, but obviously not just tech guys, the energy guys and everyone.
I don't know.
If he goes away, well, Vance is more ideological, which is both good and bad, obviously, in some ways, but
I don't know.
I feel like the whole thing is now so permeated, I don't know the right way to say it, that even if Trump is removed from it, plopped away, it's got to chug on for its own sake.
None of them could afford to let it stop.
You know what I mean?
And certainly they can't.
This is a big, big, big problem.
They can't afford to really have honest elections in 2028 because what if they lose power?
Then what happens to all their deals and all their corrupt policies?
Well, everything they've done that's corrupt that could be looked into and also going forward, everything starts to fall apart.
So I think the degree to which we now have β if this gets permitted to go on much longer, we have way beyond a Trump problem.
