Everything's moving quickly, as usual, in Trump 2.0.
And I want to start with the latest in Iran.
The stock market had its worst day since the start of the war yesterday.
President Trump wrote that he was extending the deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz until April 6th, though we have no reason to believe that they actually care about any of his deadlines.
He is threatening to mount new attacks on Iran's energy infrastructure if they do not comply.
We had a peace plan exchange.
The U.S.
sent a 15-point peace plan to the Iranians via Pakistan.
Iran rejected, came back with their own requests that were non-starters for us.
We have very few allies willing to help fight the Iranian attacks in the Strait with us.
So Secretary Rubio is on his way to a G7 meeting in France to try and make Trump's case again.
increasingly, though, I feel like the major headline is, it looks like we are headed for a ground war.
And that's where I want to begin with you, David.
Is that your feeling as well?
No.
Yeah, that's a good point.
And one that I have made less articulately multiple times.
And then I get told actually how smart it is to go bankrupt.
And we go off into la-la land about how to manage businesses effectively in Atlantic City.
But that is my plight in life, not yours.
