It's like...

Yeah, dude.

I mean, that would kind of work if this wasn't clearly a war of choice, an elective war.

If you weren't, hey, I built up the military, I don't know, so that if we get attacked, we can defend ourselves.

But that's not the situation here.

And you clearly said no new wars, meaning I'm not just going to start wars, but I'm building up the military to be prepared in case we absolutely have to fight one.

But everyone knows we absolutely didn't have to fight this one.

And for then to you to just, again, Rob, like you said, we were a dead country, you know,

You could maybe get away with that.

I get your point.

People will realize, no, we weren't literally a dead country.

But, you know, people are good about not... You know, Trump supporters are good about not taking him too literally.

Because you can't.

You can't defend him if you do that.

But...

You could even say, hey, things were so bad under Biden.

Things were so bad under Obama.

The real problem Donald Trump is in is the same exact problem that we called all of the year of 2024 that Joe Biden had.

You can't say now's great.

You just can't say that because you run up against the reality of the fact that absolutely nothing of substance has changed for the average American.
