Talked about his plans for the White House complex.
that while he is taking out the leader of Venezuela and threatening to re-engage with the Iranians and denying that there's any reason for people to be anxious about the economy.
He's also busy thinking about rebuilding the White House.
You know, all presidents in their second term turn more to foreign policy, not only because they've got
greater leverage and greater freedom, but because they want to establish a legacy.
And I think the first thing I took away from it is this is somebody who thinks about building a foreign policy legacy and building buildings.
The second thing that really jumped out at me was that
He was spending this time with the New York Times because he really wants an approval for this new vision of a muscular America.
And I think he was making what he thought was a significant investment in trying to explain a new approach to managing the globe.

And administrations don't turn it out because they want to.
They turn it out because they have to.
Congress actually requires every administration to go do it.
