I believe he is unfit as president.
I believed he was unfit as a human being when he was a Democrat.
And I said that publicly.
So this is not an ideological thing.
I don't think Trump is a Republican.
I think he supports himself.
And if he had had a way to become president running the Democratic Party and making it into a cult of Trump, he would have done that.
So it's not a partisan thing for me to say that.
Having said that, a lot of people in America are worked up over that issue.
What I can say though, is that when Trump succeeds at things,
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.
I mean, there are all sorts of areas.
where Trump has been successful.
And the fact that I don't think he's fit doesn't change the fact that those policies are successful.
It's analysis.
And that also makes it much easier to be wrong because when I'm wrong about something, it doesn't mean that my desires are bad.
It means that I got the analysis wrong or the world changed.
I got the analysis right and the world changed.
And so now let's address that.
So it's not personal.
