And my point has been that Trump now is moving at light speed, and he's moving way too fast for Congress.
Congress is almost irrelevant.
They got done one bill last year, one bill.
Now, by nature, the American House and Senate, going all the way back, were meant to be slow.
They didn't want a lot of quick change.
So the Congress as it is now constituted...
is totally out of step with what Trump is doing and how fast he's moving.
And I believe, I can't prove it, but I believe that that is what is responsible for 30 House Republicans saying they'll step down and 22 House Democrats saying they'll step down.
And just yesterday, Cynthia Loomis, a senator in Wyoming, said she's not going to run even though she was only elected in 2020.
Because of, and I quote, exhaustion, and she said, I feel like a sprinter in a marathon.
That's Trump.
You know, that's a tough one.
He's always had these views.
You go back and listen to his testimony before Congress, to what he would say to Oprah Winfrey, read his books.
He's always had these views that were in many ways more aligned with the middle class and lower middle class than they ever were with the elites.
He's just sort of a blue-collar guy that happened to grow up
a millionaire, which isn't unusual in American history.
We have a lot of those guys who, like Theodore Roosevelt for a long time, was very much attuned to working class people and kind of the middle classes.
What it was that Trump saw, I think, has
in fact changed over the last six or seven years.
