I think Adolf Hitler was bonkers.
I don't want to draw that comparison, but the point is... It's happened.
Then I got to thinking about it.
Indulge me for a moment here.
You would have... What sort of person would want to run for president of the United States?
Who wakes up in the morning and thinks, I know, I should run the free world.
And I alone am uniquely qualified to run this country, and this country is the largest economy with the largest military in the world.
I think if you ran a survey of Americans, people with profound personality disorders would be much more likely to say yes than people without profound personality disorders.
That's just a, it's an obvious statement.

And I'd be like, are you kidding?
I got to teach econ 101 tomorrow.
And I'm worried I've got too many students.
I hope you'd say the same, Ed.
