We were kind of chatting about this a little before, how the media is just intentionally ignorant about this.

Trump does this all the time.

If you have followed Trump like you and I have for close to 10 years now, Trump negotiates

If he doesn't get what he wants, he takes a maximalist position.

You know, Armageddon, 100% tariffs.

He then backs off the position on a better and more kind of elevated, more responsive baseline than when he started.

There's no Iranian mullahs.

Ballistic missile capabilities are damaged.

Drone capabilities are damaged.

He does this all the time, and the media pretends they don't know what he's doing because they want him to look chaotic and basically disorganized.

Yeah, I mean, I think it's a combination of factors.

One, there's like sinister people who clearly know the way this goes because they've watched the context for long enough.

They've been around as long as you and I have and they know how Donald Trump operates.

Also, there's like wet behind the ears idiots who are being elevated to positions in journalism where they shouldn't be and because they couldn't get like a better paying job.

And they're doing this and they just don't know.

They're like, oh, oh, my God, Trump's going to blow up an entire civilization.

No, stupid.

Let me walk you through this.

In 2017, he's got a big problem with North Korea, right?

North Korea, one of the big overriding themes of President Trump's concern, his entire presidency, every time, as long as he's been in politics, is nuclear weapons.
