I don't know if I'm smart enough to predict timescales.

It's much easier to predict the distant future than it is to predict the near future.

I'll tell you what my hope is.

My hope is there's enough actual positive results that people could understand it, get behind it and not reverse it.

But time's of the essence.

And I think that's one of my other hopes is that this pattern of I do one term, then I go away, then I come back and I do another term.

I know that wasn't the plan.

It might actually be a really good idea.

Because in the time away, Trump got to rebuild his team.

He got to reflect on everything he learned in his first term, what worked, what hadn't worked.

You got to plan and then they hit the ground running because four years is going to go by like that.

And there's a bunch of entrenched resistance to change in Washington.

And so the more you can just have good muzzle velocity right out of the gate, the more they can get done in four years.

I don't know.

I think it takes a very special leader to say, I'm going to run for president, I'm going to win, and then I'm going to walk out of the White House voluntarily after four years, but I'll be back.

Right?

I'd like to see somebody else do it.

It's very hard to...

I mean, my experience before founding Boom was I would go take on some job or some mission, and I would be 150% consumed by it.

And then when I would finally, after years, change, I would go through this intense period of learning as I reflected back on the experience I had had.
