Remember, it was the famous There's No Planet B speech.

This is after Trump had pulled out of the climate accords.

But because Trump was so mesmerized by the applause that M Emanuel Macron was getting, he thought I'd like some of that.

You know, he he needs affirmation, he needs acclamation, he's obsessed with the size of the crowds and the applause and the opinionables, etcetera 'cause, you know, you can take the man out of reality TV and ratings, but you can't take ratings and reality TV out of the man.

And whenever, you know, Putin opens his mouth and issues a nuclear threat, the Chinese worry about that because ultimately China can only really thrive

both as a as a military power and as an economic superpower, if

The w you know, the the West is distracted by other things.

That's happening right now.
