So you're saying, oh, come on, you didn't solve eight wars, end eight wars.

You'd be arguing with him.

You wouldn't get him to recognize that, oh, yeah, you're right.

So you can't confront that.

And the aspect of, oh, well, ask what other people think.

ends up being sort of, you know, also pointless.

Yeah, exactly.

So I think that it's almost a matter of blowing it off in a sense.

But I think that, you know, this gets to one other point.

It's partly up to the media to,

not to confront him, but almost to just ignore it.

One of the things, like with a pathological narcissist, one of the more effective ways to deal with them, like in a relationship or something especially, is to do what we call gray rocking, where you just go from being controlled, manipulated, sucked into that relationship, to just flat.

And so I think the media just sort of ignored the question.

What do you think about the negotiations?

What negotiations?

And if he's not answering it, well, you just go on to the next thing.

It's just kind of ignoring him.

And I think that one of the faults, if I may, of the media in general, reporting especially, is that people have the microphone there and they let him say whatever he wants and they consider themselves to be reporting the news.

And all they're doing is reporting symptoms.

They're not really getting at the news.
