Yeah. I mean, take any poll that comes out right now that shows, you know, Trump's doing this well with voters or that well with Republicans or this well with them. Throw all that out the window. It's going to take some time for people to absorb what's taking place right now. You're absolutely right, Ben.

When Trump was out there on the campaign trail, he said on day one, I'm going to start lowering prices in this country. That hasn't happened.

He's going to the Daytona 500.
