I mean, imagine being the person who writes the definitive biography of Donald Trump in 10 or 20 or 30 years' time.
What an extraordinary Robert Caro-esque book that will be.
Because it takes in so many different things.
Trump, I think, is so fascinating because there are aspects of the American character and American history that have reached fulfillment in Trump.
In other words, I don't think Trump is exceptional.
I think all the...
Newspaper coverage after the business and the storm of the Capitol and stuff, you know, this is not America.
This is very un-American.
I think that was wrong.
I think Trump is profoundly American.
Trump is not all there is of America, but I think there are nativists, there are ultra-patriotic, nationalistic, whatever, whatever impulses that reach fruition in Trump.
But I also think, you know, Trump has changed history tremendously.
Trump's tariffs, Trump's attitude to China, Trump's war in Iran, Trump's attitude towards the war in Ukraine.
And to NATO.
Yeah, and to NATO.
By the end of Trump's tenure as president, he will have changed the course of human events, of world affairs, in a way that Barack Obama never did.
Why would it go away?
Why would it just vanish overnight?
Well, Trumpism is not new.
And actually, even within the international context, I think someone like Silvio Berlusconi in Italy in the 1990s, again, a kind of precursor of Trump.
