But I think the idea that strongman government is the future – I mean Africa suffered from the big man leader type post-independence in all sorts of places and stuff ended up being very corrupt and people got a lot poorer. infrastructure wasn't built. So strongman leadership doesn't always work.

Your question also mentioned populism and I suppose one's got to be careful because you might say what's wrong with populism? Isn't that the way it should be? But I think what the accusation is against Donald Trump and other populists is that

There isn't an empathy with the grievances that propel them to power but there's an exploitation of those grievances that they are used as a means to pursue the leader's agenda. So I think that's something that we'll have to watch. You know, certainly the president is trying to reshape not just the federal government. He's trying to reshape society.

He's trying to make huge changes in American life. And he seems to have four years to do that. He did raise the possibility at the weekend that he might have longer. But constitutionally, he has four years to do that. That's not very long. But it is a huge ambition. He doesn't necessarily have to worry about the voters now. He did.

He's got a Congress that's on his side, just about, by a very narrow margin in the House, certainly, for the next two years. And so he has, in many ways, all the tools at his disposal with the experience of his first term and a lot of people who have learned a lot from that first term to get things done in a much more efficient way than the chaos we saw in his first term.

Thanks, Oliver.

It's going to be very frigid on Monday. We're expecting temperatures of minus six Celsius and with the wind chill could be even minus 12 or beyond. So that is really very cold. And of course, these things go on for a long time. There's a lot of standing around, a lot of people standing around and there could be easily some sort of medical situation. So it's not the first time it's ever happened.

It did happen back in 85 in London. for Ronald Reagan's second inaugural. So it does happen occasionally and that's one of the facts of life of January in Washington.

So it'll be inside the Capitol building where the swearing-in will take place. He'll also give his inaugural address at that point as well. But he is also having a sort of rally afterwards. Instead of having people on the National Mall, which would normally happen, he's invited them to an indoor arena where they normally play ice hockey. in Chinatown in DC, and that will hold 20,000.

So it won't be the hundreds of thousands of people that Donald Trump told us would be showing up, but it will be something that he can go to afterwards when he's actually the president.

Yeah, that's right. And she wasn't there also at Jimmy Carter's funeral last week where I was. Barack Obama will be there. The other two presidents who are living, including the other three presidents who are living, including Joe Biden, will be will be there as well. There will be some senior representation from the Chinese government.
