You're suddenly this passionate about a ballroom out of nowhere?

Okay.

But the reality is the average American person does not care about a ballroom.

They don't care about an arch.

They don't want to see UFC on the lawn in the White House.

They don't want their prices to be what they are.

They don't want to see gas the way they are.

But Donald Trump knows that he's not going to be able to win on those issues.

He's not going to be able to win people over.

So he constantly is throwing out these distractions.

every single day don't look at the fact that you're paying you know six seven dollars a gallon gas i saw the other day by me at one of the gas stations like seven dollars and fifty for premium i i i it blew my freaking mind when i saw that i had to do a double take um but

He doesn't want the conversation to be about that.

So instead, it's ballroom, it's arch, it's UFC fights.

It's just chaos, constant chaos.

But the chaos cannot outrun the actual feelings that the American people are feeling.

They're feeling chaos in their everyday lives, not this external chaos.

so they're going in the store they can't afford things they can't afford gas uh i i don't frankly don't know how a lot of people are even surviving right now uh given that costs are so high everywhere you go and then you have an administration out there that just doesn't seem to give a damn at all and they kind of rub it in your face every day that they don't care about any of the stuff that actually matters to people

So it's like, stop bullshitting us, right?

Like, stop with the non sequiturs.

Okay, there was a shooting on 17th and Pennsylvania Avenue, so you need a ballroom.
