And now the United States is driving what could be a global recession.
directly because of him.
I was just in the Dominican Republic yesterday, and I had a meeting with all the CEOs, and the president was there in front of me.
And during- President Trump or the president of the Dominican Republic?
No, no, no, President Abinader, yeah.
And he's the opposite of Trump.
He actually really cares about extending democracy and increasing checks and balances and limits on leaders across Latin America.
That is what he wants to see happen.
And I said to all of those, all of the leaders in the room, I mean, basically 98% of their economy, I said, I know you're all upset about the inflation that you're seeing right now.
His approval ratings are down to about 55 on the back of that.
They were at 70.
I said, do not blame your government for that.
You can blame my government for that.
Don't blame your government.
Like, literally, Trump is looking for anyone to blame for this war that is exactly the opposite of how he was elected.
And yet he has personally decided he was going to do.
And now he can't extricate himself from and he can't blame anybody for.
And so I do think that there was a lot of what Trump's initial agenda was about, some of which he has stuck with, like actually securing the border with Mexico, much of which he has completely jettisoned that that reflects that.
The sensibilities of what a political revolution would be in service of in the United States.
And they all kind of have to do with not that democracy doesn't work as a system, but rather that the American democracy has somehow gotten completely subverted by special interests.
