Yeah.

that's what i'm asking i asked people and some people have said well you remember venezuela was involved in that dominion software scandal remember the dominion software was developed for hugo chavez i said okay maybe this is a personal grudge match i don't know but i do know that there's this feeling that president trump needs a win he wants a win he's not going to get a win out of ukraine

Doesn't look like he's going to get a win out of the Middle East.

So where does he go for a win?

I guess.

How about Philadelphia or Portland?

77 million people voted for exactly what you're describing.

There's no question about it.

But I don't think that is necessarily the kind of theater that Washington's interested in.

And I don't think people on the Hill, may also include friends of President Trump and others, are necessarily going to profit from any of that activity.

I mean, we're watching an awful lot of huge $100 billion deals closed all over the place by people connected back to Washington right now.

That's not new.

We saw that under the Biden and Clinton administrations, but it's certainly vulgar and out in the open right now.

You don't close those kinds of deals by shutting down the drug trade and the child trafficking in Philadelphia or Seattle or anywhere else.

Well, they're drawn into it because it's a wonderful platform for them to display their decisiveness, their strength, their courage, their leadership

That's the way people think of it.

But you're right.

It's an illusion.

And you know what?

I know President Trump from the standpoint of foreign policy to some extent.
