PDB Situation Report | December 14th, 2024: Inside The Collapse of Assad & China’s Massive Military Drills

You're going to pay for that. So how are we going to talk about how you're going to pay for it? It's going to be some tariffs. But, you know, I lost my own daughter to the fentanyl plague.

And you get the quiet punch in the in the in the private meeting that that does seem to be some of what they have in mind to do. But we're just going to have to see how the results shake out.

I've lived and shared that experience that you expressed on the skepticism, and I also can't say whether this is four-dimensional chess, which I don't understand, or whether this is one-dimensional chess, which I also don't play. But it's clearly something has to be tried differently, and one of the redeeming qualities I've seen in the Trump approach

is that he is clearly comfortable in the most uncomfortable situations. And part of what he does to set up negotiations is he's blunt and direct about things that the counterpart might be uncomfortable being raised. I've worked for presidents before who were not comfortable making those kinds of conversations happen, and we didn't necessarily get the movement we wanted.
