That's the environment where we're operating in.
And foreign countries now know that they don't have to be indirect.
They can put money directly into the pockets of the Trump family, and they're doing so.
For me, being a part of this place has always been about the people, not about the politics.
No, it's a good question.
It's not so black and white.
It's definitely true that his aides wished he cared more.
So there's a lot of frustration among sort of the wider orbit that he's just not that engaged.
And, for example, they were trying to get him to talk about affordability.
There's nothing that bores Trump more than talking about affordability.
And you see how he did a speech last year where he called it a hoax.
We obtained some internal focus group polling memos, sorry, from his team where internally they put in all caps that we need to be honest about the affordability problem.
So it's definitely true they wish he talked about it more.
It's also true that he wants to use every advantage they can to try to squeeze as many seats as they can.
So he's fully empowered his team to go and do this mid-cycle gerrymandering.
He's pushing the SAVE Act, which he thinks will, I think, suppress Democratic votes.
He's also trying to relitigate, and I'd say put this higher on the hierarchy, the 2020 election.
And that's a big part of what he wanted Tulsi Gabbard to be doing at DNI.
Well, because he wants something that he can hold up to say, see, I told you I won the 2020 election.
And I think a big part of the declassification.
