Donald Trump is the one who loves our troops.

And Democrats are demonic.

And, you know, I think that I totally get why it's exciting.

This is the last thing I want to say about the hockey team situation.

It's exciting to win gold there.

to go to Miami, party, to get to go on an Air Force One, get to go to the White House, come to the State of the Union, everyone is obsessed with you, et cetera.

But there are pictures now of several of the members of the team wearing Trump merch.

And if they thought that they were going...

to make this apolitical, right?

That this is about being American and celebrating your country.

And then you're wearing a Make America Great Again hat or even the USA hats that are his ones.

You know, like it's a distinctive font and look.

I think that that damages your reputation.

And it's been interesting to read some of the analyses of, you know, the players who didn't go, several of whom are from Minnesota or the folks who are going to have to go home to Canada.

who play for teams north of the border, who are not only, you know, licking their wounds because they were rooting for Canada, obviously, but are in a position where Mark Carney has had to steer the country away from a partnership with America as a result of these kind of useless threats of aggression, not only through economic policy, but through force sometimes.

So it's much more complicated than just, oh, we're really excited about the gold medal.

But I did think it was a good moment of the speech.

He did trap the Democrats.

Jobs numbers that were incorrect, gas numbers that were incorrect.

Well, that's what happened when he bombed Fordow, right?
