John Heilman

And so that makes me think that people will eventually kind of blanch at this.

But then on the other hand, I'm like, I don't know, maybe that's just about me and my priors and people actually don't really care at all.

We're going to start playing some soft patriotic music behind you as you, as you, as you act nostalgic about that, Jason, make sure to add that.

I forget who I'm stealing this point from, so I apologize and I'll credit if I can find it in my social media archive.

But when the discourse was going around for a while about like, is Trump Hitler?

Is he Mussolini?

Is he like this?

Is he like Orban?

Somebody observed that Trump is really kind of an Arab oil despot at heart.

Like, you know, extremely gaudy, gaudy rather, wants to do corrupt deals.

And whoever made this point, it was a while ago.

And like, it is just so...

on the nose now and obvious as he's like making these deals with the Arab despots.

And they are really our best allies now besides El Salvador.

And like just sort of at a spiritual aura level kind of, I do think that's how he sort of sees himself.

It's funny to think back to the McCain ad making fun of Obama, the most famous person in the world.

And that's just like literally couldn't be more on the nose for Trump.

One additional way in which he's like the Middle Eastern autocrats is he's very interested in throwing his political foes into prison over kind of non-existent, fabricated, crazy topics.

Something that's very popular.

MBS did this very efficiently when he took over in Saudi.
