I don't know.

I've seen a lot of information on him because I'm fascinated by this dynamic.

And I've listened to all of his campaign promises.

And I'm not a socialist.

I believe in charity toward helping people, and I do a lot of that.

But I believe that capitalists create jobs, and that creates a system.

And I said to the guy, what school did you go to?

And he named a big, fancy Ivy League school, probably one I couldn't get into.

And I said, well, did you take any history?

He said, yes, quite a bit.

I said, great.

I said, can you name me one system

in the last 2,000 years that has worked that's not capitalism, socialism, communism, dictators.

Just name me one that you learned at your Ivy League school.

Dictators can have long runs, some longer than others, but at the end, they all lose.

Autocrats all lose.

And democratic capitalist societies win.
