It's before we talk about Greenland.

It's before we talk about Trump's recent flirtation with Argentina and the Falklands.

I mean, all of that stuff.

I can give you so many more, you know, sort of count so many more data points on this.

But the Russia and the Iran wars and the American response to that, as the Europeans do feel like they're absolutely stepping up, they're spending money like they never have before on defense, and they should have for decades, but they're also doing all of the lifting on Ukraine.

And Trump's like, okay, but what are you doing for me on Iran?

It's extraordinary.

Great one, absolutely.

And here's one that Trump should have been in favor of.

I mean, here's, you've got a new leader who wants to drain the swamp.

He's from the populist right.

He believes in strong borders.

He really opposes all the migration coming in.

He wants a strong transatlantic alliance.

that's capable of defending itself against Russia and against the Chinese, principal adversaries of the United States.

He defeats Orban, who has wildly redistricted their political system and controls the media and has enormous amounts of informational advantage.

And despite all of that, he was able to secure a constitutional majority.

This should have been a win

for a conservative, nationalist, America-first president.

And yet, Trump wanted Orban.
