This is all confidential. I just can't get into it.
the worst thing. Well, from my perspective, there's maybe two worst things, which is the pace of the deportations. I don't see how it's humanly possible to get to the reparation that we need from the last four years at the pace that we're at right now. I don't think DHS is either able to get the capacity or taking it seriously enough on the leadership level to actually
be where Trump promised he would be and surely where he wants to be. And then maybe the second thing is obviously the situation with China doesn't seem to be, at least right now, going in the right direction and at the pace that Trump wants. I'm not sure if that is due to the order that the tariffs were implemented in or the the level of communication between the U.S.
government and the Chinese government, but there seems to be an issue that is impossible to get past.
We're not getting the outcome that we want, which is a fair arrangement.
Well, I'm not saying that I think that there should be a result in 100 days, but it seems like China isn't reacting the way I think that the Trump administration anticipated they would right now.
I can't tell the future. I just think it's off track. It seems like the Trump administration expected them to kind of come to the table and look to make a deal immediately, and instead they put their back up.
Right. So it's funny because as the conversation was just going on just now, I was thinking and thinking, you know, there's two angles to see the same thing. The first one is kind of what I said and really what you're saying too. The second is you have to kind of maybe take a step back, which is kind of what you're doing and say, okay, first of all, despite the pace of deportations, that's one
detail of the immigration policy. But more broadly, what's going on, there is not a soul crossing the border right now. Not only is that the case, but people are actually escorting themselves out because they would rather leave on their terms than on DHS's terms.
At least like in terms of the psychology around the board, that's pretty much the perception, right? So that's another take, which is that. And then also on trade too, it's like, okay, in the snapshot that we're looking at, which is a very small snapshot, there's hurdles right now. However, if you, again, look at it more broadly,
Trump for the first time, I think in what, like 20 years, 30 years is trying to rearrange the global trade arrangement and the global economy and the direction of markets. It's, it's, like this profound proposition and a profound change that we, I don't think, have fully digested yet.
So to your point, it's like these things, what he's doing actually is so big that it's really difficult to analyze it like from the first 100 days. He's thinking in much grander terms than even one term. I think he's thinking in terms of the next generation of at least. So, yeah, I mean, I agree with you. We're not talking about a bill.
We're talking about actually a philosophical shift in the way the country thinks.
I just, just one thing on this, on the speed that he's moving at, because I think that that's actually a really important, important point. And there's so much, I think, to that. But I think that one of the main things to that, the reason for it, is Trump learned in his first term that there is opposition to his agenda in the House.
And not only in the media, on Wall Street, in corporate America, internationally, there is so much opposition in every area.
In every inch of what he's trying to do and every inch of his surroundings that I think for him this is also sort of like a war tactic like and He sees this as a way if you like this was something that was obvious the first He was moving just way too fast Too fast for anybody to kind of get their bearings on what he was doing and mount any sort of opposition to him He's trying to outpace
anyone undermining what he's trying to do.
I have four.
Ah, Besant, obviously.
Yeah, sanity reigned is the right word. Really the right word. You read my mind for not going because this is my first time at the White House Correspondence Center, despite having spent like 10 years.
