I always say, you know, the auto pack's been around since 1965, and you can't unscramble an egg.

And that's what people have been saying, David. You know, President Trump made the last deal. I was part of that deal. It was Secretary – Lighthizer. And President Trump said it was the greatest deal ever. I guess it's not the greatest deal ever anymore. So I'm not too sure what he wants to do or where he wants to go.
