Look, it was a very Obama message.
So no surprise that I liked it.
Like being patriotic and optimistic, talking about America's flaws, but in a hopeful way.
I mean, it's a very it's a tough needle to thread for a politician, especially if you're a brown or black politician.
And you saw it in the reaction where you had all these people accusing Zohra Mamdani of attacking his country or being critical of it.
It's like, guys, Trump literally says, we were a dead country until I came back.
His view of America is, unless he's in charge, it's dead.
It's irredeemable.
It's American carnage.
We're making America great again.
So it's just like this very...
frustrating, endless, stupid conversation about what it means to be patriotic.
But I think like I thought it was a great speech.
It was interesting that he decided to step up and do it because they had to know that this was going to be the reaction.
But I imagine that it was just very important to him in this moment where Trump is trying to repeal birthright citizenship and all these kind of like pillars of what makes us a country that is great, that he wanted to be like to voice the alternative view.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, especially people like Bill Ackman, where he's making an economic argument and going right at people like Bill Ackman.
I think the line was like, the powerful think America is an arena of supremacy and the rest of us should be grateful for being allowed to visit.
And he said how small they are, how weak.
