You want to have them and you want to keep them alive.

Yeah, I don't know how to keep the shit alive.

All right, let's pivot real quick here to the affordability tour that Trump has been on.

He was in Vegas on Thursday night to do a roundtable to tout his no tax on tips policy.

This is the tax credit they've pinned their hopes on to try to salvage the midterm elections.

Here's what Trump had to say to a group of Las Vegas workers.

Let's take a listen.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know, you hear the White House talk, you hear the Republican strategist talk, they're like, we need to get back on the economy message, get back on the economy, you know, talk about the economy.

That is the key.

And I'm sure that talking about the economy is better than talking about the ballroom.

or better talking about the war.

But Trump's a very bad economic messenger.

That is something that has, he is a good economic messenger when he's in charge and the economy is good.

And he is a good economic messenger when he's out of power and the economy is bad.

But when he's in power and the economy is bad, he's terrible because he can't admit fault.

He can't do the Bill Clinton feel your pain thing.

He can't say, you know, he just can't give the honest answer.

Like, I inherited a mess.
