So it's a sign of how um yeah, how poorly planned this was and also how this did not go according to whatever plan existed to begin with.
voice-verified
Yeah.

We already have a situation where gold has overtaken US Treasuries as um being held by central banks around the world.
voice-verified
Uh this obviously ties in also to mortgage rates as well.
voice-verified
So um, you know, I saw I think it was a Fox business um host who was questioning a Republican and was saying, look, you got mortgage rates at seven percent, you got gas at these high prices, you know, you got inflation going up.
voice-verified
How can you possibly present to the American people that this is all this is all fine and these are the golden years?
voice-verified
You know, m America's back.

And uh I I don't think that person had a very good answer to that because you know, these are the things that look you can look at the stock market, stock market's doing great, but the things that people are actually dealing with in their day-to-day life, can I afford a house?

voice-verified
do nothing.
voice-verified
Don't do the war, yeah, just do your ballroom, do the Trump, you know, whatever, the Arch and the Kennedy Center.
voice-verified
Like just do that bullshit.
voice-verified
But if you're doing that bullshit, and I actually think that is an undersold part of how much his ratings have have cratered and why there is some erosion even among his base, is you have on the one hand him obsessing over the gilded ballroom while gas prices are going up and he's saying, go.
