But, you know, the U.S.

and I understand this perspective.

It's not the U.S.

responsibility to flip the bill for everybody all over the world.

Yeah, they're somewhat tasked with securing international ports and waterways around the world.

That was a big thing in Bretton Woods that, OK, you're going to be the reserve currency, but you've got to make sure to secure international trade.

And for many administrations, they actually didn't do that properly.

That's what you're seeing going on right now with the Strait of Hormuz and Iran and all that sort of stuff.

But at the same time, they're not going to flip the bill to run everybody's country and then have them just, you know, not own up any tax, like leave it with the American taxpayer, like the American taxpayer shouldn't pay for that.

So I understand the frustration.

They're completely right.

Good.

Brilliant.

Like a business.

Remember, everything is like a business transaction.

That's his filter in the world, right?

It's daddy teaching them how to grow up and be big boys.

Right?

You want money?

You want to go out on the weekends?
