Political problem set is very different, where the conclusion of a problem set is essentially the beginning of a new paradigm.
So when I would think about how do you
How do you move pieces around the board?
You couldn't say, let me just solve the problem.
You have to think about what happens the day after the signing and how do you create a paradigm that has positivity to it?
So the biggest piece of what President Trump did during his four years in office was he really strengthened the relationship with Israel, number one.
And he did things like recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
He moved the embassy to Jerusalem.
He recognized the Golan Heights.
He got out of the Iran deal.
We did an economic conference in Bahrain where we brought Israelis to meet with Saudi and Emirati and Qatari businessmen, and everyone came together.
And each one of these instances were unthinkable previously.
And everyone said that if you did it, the world was going to end.
And
Every time President Trump did one, the next morning the sun rose, the next evening the sun set, and things moved on.
And so by doing that, what President Trump did was he slaughtered a lot of the sacred cows of these false barriers that people had erected and showed people that the vast majority of the people in the Middle East, whether they're Jewish, Muslim, Christian, whatever religion they are,
They just want to live better lives.
And so what we basically did was create a paradigm where the voices for peace, the voices for together now finally had a forum where they were able to do it.
And we did that in the backdrop.
The way we were able to be successful was we severely limited the resources of Iran and they were focused more internally and they couldn't cause the trouble that they were causing everywhere else.
