Yeah.
I look at that and I think, I feel like in an era in which, as you know, our deficit and our debt have gone through the roof under Trump.
For all his talk about saving money, he is spending money like a drunken sailor.
And you think about that attempt to use our money instead of spending it on our health care, using it for crap like that, those plaques.
I'm a little surprised we haven't put more muscle into saying, hey, wait just a second here.
But again, it almost feels in many ways like Trump has taken everything to caricature.
And you think about the destruction of the Cohen Building and the murals in it that are priceless.
Or you think about the destruction of our education department.
Or you think about the destruction of the... Or USAID.
Yeah.
I was just going to say U.S.
Agency for International Development or the rules-based international order.
Right.
And it's not so freaking funny anymore.
And that's the piece that I really hope we hammer forward.
You know, I've been saying we're going to have an answer about which way this country is going to jump by, say, May, because I do not think that they're going to be able to continue to nail together Trump's mental faculties in such a way.
that he can continue to stand in front of a podium.
But we don't have that kind of time.
If he's going to threaten NATO, we really are at the crisis point of the foreseeable future.
And so, you know, we're in the middle of it right now.
