He doesn't really care about what's good for the country. He's self-interested and he just wants the chaos or to protect his own self-interest.
And so for someone to be being provocative for the point of waving the red flag in front of him to get him all riled up and have him do things improperly, those folks would be doing exactly what they claim to be concerned about President Trump doing, trying to inspire ratings. and fun news bites for their own benefit, which would be very disappointing if that was really the thought process.

I think as much as anything else, it's trying to get clicks and less focused on the Trump reaction and viewing that as a happy side effect, a happy coincidence. It's a click-driven time period these days where people just want the attention and the eyeballs and almost, I think, approach things with a let the chips fall where they may afterwards dynamic.

And that is on the tariffs and the general initial question of what do I think about it? Look, I think there are definitely instances where the United States has been maybe taken advantage of as a bridge too far, but certainly has gotten the lesser side of trade deals and where I think addressing some of those imbalances and double standards that have existed made sense and was prudent.

I think the unpredictability of tariffs and some of the unintended consequences of that, whether it's on the stock market or on domestic jobs or pricing, inflation, et cetera, I think is unfortunate. And so look, as a general statement, I would like to have cohesive plans, whether it's on a sports team I cheer for, a business, the firm I work for, I'm a partner in, or with government.

Having a cohesive plan and then moving towards that plan, to me, has value. If I felt truly in my heart of hearts that the instituting of tariffs and then retrading and then pulling back and then reinstitution, if I thought that was part of a grand plan to get from point A to point B, I'd feel a little bit more confident in it than

I think having a cohesive game plan for doing that would be better strategy, and I'm hoping to see a bit more of that going forward.
