jaundiced cynicism of the democratic side. So it was less effective. They assume that the, despite it all, despite all of the failures that you've announced, that you've reported on fairly tirelessly, they assume that the people in DC know what they're doing. And I'm not sure that's the greatest default assumption.

I mean, look, respectfully to the president, I mean, Donald Trump, again, is the only U.S. president who was not a general or a former statewide official or federal official to get the presidency. And with all due respect to the new president, A healthy country doesn't elect something like that. It had that level of outsider.

That level of outsider could only exist within a polity that was deeply sick. And I think he knows that. I think he recognizes that. And the fact that the Capitol doesn't imbibe that lesson, I think they're imbibing a little bit more, but it's like... I mean, it's still bizarre, 10 years on.

I mean, Trump, June 2015, so June this year, 10 years of Trump, longer than Obama at this point, the Trump era, in spirit, in length. It's like, well, maybe there's something wrong with this country, but it's like a 5% recognition. It's not a 95% recognition.

It is an actual choice. It's an actual choice. We cannot do the border if we do the Middle East.

I agree. But it's very upsetting, not only to leaders of some foreign countries. And this is not just the Middle East. We didn't even talk about Russia, Ukraine. But like, I mean, that perspective is obviously very, very relevant for extricating the United States out of the Russia-Ukraine war. And almost every European capital is unhappy with that.
