But as with the Mexico-Canada situation, he never actually laid out any sort of success criteria. So what he ended up settling for, so far as I can tell, doesn't actually seem to be particularly consequential. I don't think you can use the same strategy.

But there's probably not an easy out like that in this circumstance. Now that you've laid this out and made all of these kind of grand proclamations and insisted that folks are going to do things that they've said they would not do for a very, very, very long time, you kind of have to put up at some point. And I'm just not sure there's any there there.

Moynihan, you mentioned that he was reading for a piece of paper, and I noticed that too. But it's not clear when that piece of paper was authored. It could have been moments before. Thank God.

Yeah, I don't know if it would be helpful, but to the extent Trump has qualities that I'm eager to embrace, one of those is being able to essentially utter uncomfortable truths that no one else is willing to look at and acknowledging the fact that this is a terrible situation. The status quo is completely unacceptable. We can't return to that. We have to do something bold and audacious here.

Let me just throw something out there. To do that in the kind of most responsible, delicate way possible while being sufficiently disruptive, I think is a very good thing. But in terms of achieving this kind of Riviera of the Middle East thing, the first and second order problems before you get to the end state where he could actually do the thing that he has done a bunch, build things.

They're just so hard. The security envelope that would be required to actually allow contractors to come in and do the construction, the effort to actually try to move people around, to perhaps force people out, it would just be extraordinary. And the potential for things to go wrong is enormous.
