They really care what I think.

And those things are very different.

Now, I did not vote for Trump.

I would not vote for Trump.

TED Talks Daily

I believe he is unfit as president.

TED Talks Daily

I believed he was unfit as a human being when he was a Democrat.

Frankly, it's an emotional relief for me to be able to say he succeeded at these things, like the Abraham Accords, for example, or USMCA, for example, or Venezuela, for example, and a number of domestic policies as well, for example.

TED Talks Daily

where Trump has been successful.
