This was different.

This was, you've seen what he's like as president.

He was president for four years.

Now you have a chance to have him president again.

Up or down, do you want it?

And my concern, my concern going into election day was that Trump would win.

and that the country would be ill-prepared to deal with it, particularly blue America, whose connection to the country I felt could be severely damaged, should be almost severed if Trump won.

So here's what I said in October of 2024 when Tucker Carlson asked me on his show what would happen in blue America if Donald Trump won.

I think it will be the cause of the greatest mental health crisis in the history of the country.

I think tens of millions of people will question their connection to the nation, their connection to other human beings, their connection to their vision of what their future for them and their children could be like.

And I think that will require an enormous amount of

access to mental health professionals.

I think it'll lead to trauma in the workplace.

I think there'll be some degree of- Are you being serious?

100% serious.

100% serious.

There'll be alcoholism.

There'll be broken marriages.

What?

They think he's the worst person possible to be president.
