Yeah, I agree.

I mean, it kind of reminds me of the tariff playbook because he did a similar sort of negotiating tactic back last April where he makes these very extreme, almost like seemingly very irrational positions.

He goes really far to one side.

Probably doesn't really mean that.

And it forces the other side to come to the middle a little bit.

And this seems to be part of the Trump negotiating playbook, you know, so he's doing the same thing here.

Is it the most diplomatic way to do all this?

I don't know.

Probably not.

But at the same time, I mean, this is probably.

I mean, considering we're only about six weeks in, this is starting to look like about as good of an outcome as we could probably expect.

I mean, two days ago, it seemed like, you know, maybe something really bad was going to happen, that this was going to escalate, that we were going to have boots on the ground.

And so now you're getting into a position where it looks like this is really coming to a close.

Everybody, I think, wanted an off-ramp for this thing.

And here we are.

So I think that...

You know, he did the same thing with the, if you remember the tariffs, he said six weeks, I'll make a six week deal with you.

I'll make a six week deal with you.

I'll make a six week deal with you.

And he did that for months and months and months.
