to president of the United States of America, Donald Trump, who has announced boldly and publicly that he intends to essentially decide how this all plays out.
It's not a job typically undertaken by the sitting president of the United States to just rub his hands together in glee and say, who wants my approval here for a deal like this?
But he's made it clear that that is the case.

Nafli.
Yeah, Nafli.
I think it's a French company.
I want to draw an analogy, if I can, because this has happened twice now in recent past with companies that are like disruptors, capital D disruptors.
I don't know if you remember this, but 20 something years ago, the big question was whether Amazon was ever going to be profitable, right?
They were like an internet bookstore and it was cool and you could buy books from Amazon and everything.
And they would show up at your house and everyone's like, oh, this is so neat.
And they were, you know, had a massive accelerated launch and it was sort of internet 1.0.
And there was a quarter where they were going to announce their, you know, profit statement or whatever.
And for the first time ever, like they turned a profit.
They turned like a $3 million profit and the stock like shot up in the air.
And I believe in the same announcement, they were like,
We are now going to take on $8 billion in debt and expand like maniacs.
And people were like, what are you doing?
You just became profitable.
This is it.
