Shamath, let's go to the business side here. Trump making a lot of deals, a little bit of a brouhaha over a $400 million plane given to Trump. I'm not sure how relevant that is or if he's even accepted it personally. And I'm sure you've got some thoughts on that. But What did we see there?

I've made a couple of trips there.
