I can think of nothing, no better use of your time.

I like that too.

That's a great idea.

You have really aged into a legislative strategist late in life.

So that's great.

All right, let's get to the meat of your question.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Basically, do I think voters are creeped out and maybe a little scared by Trump basically cosplaying Kim Jong-un, Vladimir Putin, pick your tin pod dictator?

Look, I think the biggest political problem here is that Trump is focused on dumb, self-serving shit instead of lowering people's costs.

That is the fundamental thing.

You add a side of pretty blatant corruption to it, that's pretty bad.

I think people see Trump putting his name on everything, his face on everything.

And I think maybe last year they would have seen that as scary.

I think this year they think it's stupid because the Trump of 2026 and now the Trump of 2025.

2025, he was single-handedly destroying federal agencies, sending mass agents everywhere.

He was astride the world.

He was bizarrely popular.

And now he is a deeply unpopular, doddering old man who can't stay awake in meetings.

He is losing wars to Iran.

He just looks weak.
