lost its mind for four years, and then we were back to the –

sort of the core American values and approach to foreign policy that has existed through both parties since the end of World War II.

But now that that's happened a second time in a 12-year period, Europe is thinking differently.

NATO is thinking differently.

There's a real question whether you can rely on the United States to actually be the partner it has always been because we're always four years away from someone like Donald Trump, I think is the issue.

And when you consider that just only a few months ago, Trump was threatening to invade a NATO ally in order to get Greenland, so that also is not going to help things.

Do you think – let's say this deal holds, and by the time people hear this on Sunday, it may not have held, but just let's live in the hypothetical for a second here, which is – let's say –

Straight remains open.

Maybe we have a deal.

Maybe we are in indefinite negotiations with the Iranians to seek a deal.

But price of oil starts to come down.

Some of the economic impacts are to come down.

Do you think that what happened over the last few months with Iran is going to have a lasting political impact or at least last long enough through November?

Or will it fade if we memory hold like so much else in the Trump era?

Yeah, look, I think if gas prices are not at $4 a gallon, Trump will have avoided the worst case scenario for him and his party.

I do think there is some lasting damage here from the war that will affect him in November.

One, he has any chance that the economy was going to get significantly better than it was pre-war was ruined by the war.

right?

Inflation is back up.

There is a long bottleneck on some of these prices.
