A lot of the big names in business are.

Are there and yet, Joe, I think we are going to see some consequences from that corporate cozying up to Trump.

I think so, and if you take the other side of the political spectrum, Republicans would be up in arms if you had companies bending the knee to the will and whim of Joe Biden or Barack Obama.

Or Mamdani in New York.

Or Mamdani in New York, and I think it's worthwhile to –

Ask ourselves, do we want to have companies who are beholden to a political leader, a political ideology?

Because quite frankly, you know, those who advanced Trump's candidacy last year said this was going to be good for the economy.

There is nothing good about companies having to fork over 10 percent of their value to the U.S.

government in tariffs.

Well, this is just in pure value.

Now, we can talk about the 15% that Irish companies have to pay to Trump.

Now, that also raises the question, are we going to see the Supreme Court claw back that power in their decision likely to come in January?

I would forecast that, yes, that decision is likely to go against Trump.

Well, and Trump is suggesting that he's going to hand that out in $2,000 a person checks to working families.

Ironically, that's also what's called wealth redistribution.

But the then likely scenario is you'll see Trump focusing on sectoral tariffs.

And that, I think, for Irish companies ought to be of great concern.

I think the work, the groundwork ought to be going in now as to how do we avoid that scenario where our sectors, where our companies find themselves in the crosshairs as they did in his first term when it comes to Trump's tariffs.
