It's a question that's worth asking.
Okay, okay.
Yeah.
Thoughts?
Well, I mean, I guess a couple things.
To me, like, you know, to understand Trump, you sort of have to go back to the art of the deal.
And if you look at this sort of chain of events, you go from Venezuela, where he uses military force, and he talks a lot about oil.
And then he turns around and he has the whole world sort of focused on the idea that he's going to use military force in Greenland to go after strategic minerals, right?
Because it follows.
It makes sense.
But what he's really doing is sort of he's amassing leverage is what he's doing.
And I think that's the way you sort of have to look at what he does.
Always think of like what...
What leverage is he deriving from this latest action, even if you don't understand it in the moment?
So today he goes there and he says, look, I'm taking...
It's not about strategic minerals.
And I'm taking military force off the table.
And the market booms.
The market's up about 500 points, I think, right now.
And everyone has this sigh of relief.
