And so I said this, I feel like a few weeks ago, even before the Iran war broke out, as we were seeing Trump do all these attacks on Venezuela and threatened Greenland and everything else that he's been doing.

And what I said is,

I think Trump's vision, his actual doctrine that exists is he thinks the United States is so strong and so powerful that the United States could use brute force to push its way onto anybody in any country and make them submit to our will.

So we're just going to use our force in Greenland.

If you don't like it too bad, we're going to take you over.

Venezuela, if you don't like it too bad, we're going to invade and take you over.

Canada, if you don't like it, we're going to take you over and make you the 51st state.

And so I think he went into this war with that mindset as well.

But he's dealing with a country right now who that has the opposite effect on.

As Donald Trump tries to force his will

on the Iranian people and on the Iranian regime, they're going, we don't want that.

that's weird that's creepy that's dangerous that's psychotic and so you're getting even people who as i said were sympathetic to the idea of the united states coming in bringing regime change bringing democracy to iran even many of those people now are looking out their windows they're seeing their neighborhoods being decimated their neighborhoods being bombed by the united states and it's not exactly a way that they're going to say oh these people are here to protect me

And you can't look at any statement Donald Trump has made or any action that Donald Trump has taken and come to the conclusion that this is somebody who actually wants to see democracy in Iran or wants to see the people of Iran free and wants to see all of that.

Because just every single piece of evidence speaks to the contrary.

Let me make this comparison, and sorry to interrupt you, but you just sparked a thought in my head.

The same way that Donald Trump inherited his wealth from his daddy,

and then use that wealth to bully people, to get his way, to steamroll his way through business and screw over contractors, not pay anybody, and build his business empire off that.

The same way that Donald Trump inherited that, he inherited the power of the United States that was built up over hundreds of years of people building the system that we have today.

building the military that we have today, the alliances that we have today.

And just like he squandered his wealth, his daddy's wealth during his business career, he's now doing the same thing with the power he inherited through that history of the United States, just like he took his father's wealth and claimed it as he's a self-made man, that he's a self-made person, that he's this brilliant genius.
