And that's what ins will will incentivize uh President Trump to continue

One cannot underestimate the economic pressure that's being brought to

bear on the president uh and will continue

uh in the future and that may incentivize him to make major concessions.

You want to remember just going back to the June seventeenth memorandum of understanding.

Which I've described on numerous occasions as a surrender document.

uh and that was us surrendering, not the Iranians.

But President Trump signed the memorandum of understanding on june seventeenth.

Because as he said at the time, he did not want to be Herbert Hoover.

He understood that we were facing quote unquote a potential

Economic catastrophe, right?

He used the words.

Economic catastrophe.

He used the words Herbert Hoover.

So he has long been aware at how dangerous this situation is.

And as you said before, the situation only gets worse with the passage of time.

So at some point in the not too distant future, I think that he has to move to cut a deal.
