So I'm going to come straight at what I think everyone's going to want to understand or your thoughts on it at least. Trump's in office. Everyone thinks he is our savior. Everyone thinks there's a lightning bolt that will come down. The economy is going to be saved. We're all going to be rich and we're going to print money. Let's hear your perspective of reality.

I also think there's a lot of – and by the way, I think I pay little to no attention to politics. My grandfather would blame me for that and say, you got to be educated on it. And in my world, it also is a stress reliever. I'm not all caught up in it. It's not something that, you know, fills my day to day life. And so for me, it's easier this way. Right.
