But they could be deciding, you know, this will be painful for Washington and that's why we'll do it. I don't know.

Sorry, this is like a much more technical discussion than I was expecting.

That's the correct intuition. And Trump is apparently about to find that out. Because again, he was not anticipating this. He had been bragging, I think even as recently as yesterday or the day before, he's like, see, we're getting interest rates go down. And it's like... look at the chart, chart not match words, which is quite a common phenomenon, obviously, for Donald Trump.

But it's really hard to lie about these things. I saw this great quote the other day from an economist at JP Morgan, of all places, who was saying that the thing about the stock market is Is that it can't be bullied, intimidated, deported, primaried in the next election or otherwise censored. Right. Like Trump has no power here to get it to to. you know, confess the outcome that he wants.

And it's like a real-time voting box, essentially. Sometimes it gets it wrong and sometimes it gets it right. But at least in real time, you know, Trump can't force it to do what he wants. And now we're getting real information out of the stock market, which is obviously contradictory to the happy talk we're hearing from the White House.

Yeah, I saw bits and pieces of this a few days ago, and I needed a special decoder ring to figure out what the origin of the crazy was. I feel this way with a lot of Trump-related talk, that he'll say something that's totally confusing, and then I end up spending way more time trying to figure out what his logic or intention was than he spent putting thought into what his proposal actually was.
