Trump has a great working relationship with Ursula von der Leyen.

They've met multiple times over the course of this year.

That was one of the other things we talked about, I talked to the ambassador about.

They, um, uh, Trump seems to like that, you know, as compared with many other European leaders, she does seem to be able to deliver what she says she's going to do.

And so when she says she's going to do something, you know, she can, she can back it up with action.

And Trump seems to like that, um, as, as it exists now.

Sure.

Like, yeah, she's the leader there.

Uh, but you're right that there are these problems across Europe.

It's very simple.

As Carville once said, it's the economy, stupid.

That law applies to voters everywhere in the world, not just here in the United States.

By the way, your prediction of the $2 trillion...

I mean, and they coming in at 1.8, that's not that far under the, uh, the over under there.

Right.

Like that's pretty darn close.

So that's the thing is that these are major things that like, that's, that's pretty right on the money there, Steve.

Right.

Like, so it's like the, you know, it's like, it's like bending the over under on a football game.

And it's like, you wait there in the last 30 seconds, like, please don't hit the field goal.
