Nouriel Roubini

And therefore, he's gonna be a lame duck, and whoever is gonna be elected,

maybe with the exception of J.D.

Vance, but even a Marco Rubio is gonna be somehow in between the traditional George Bush Republican Party and more populist one.

And with stronger economic growth, I think some of these backlash against liberal democracy and free market is gonna shrink.

There'll be some of the backlash, but I think with higher growth, some of these concerns about inequality and other things are gonna be lessened over time.

Well, you know, even our friends and allies in Europe, in the Middle East, in Asia, are unhappy because the U.S.

is behaving like a bully.

But NATO is still there.

We're going to find deals on trade and other things.

And think about the Europeans.

Do they really want to use the defense tech of China and AI of China and be in the Chinese orbit?

Of course not.

So they have no option and they'll have to

essentially spend more on defense, be part of NATO, buy even more American weapons.

And there are going to be two technological stacks that are going to be completely at risk.

Because there's a U.S.

stack and a Chinese stack.

And if you are a friend of the U.S., you don't want to be subject to the spying and being...

within the firewall of China.

So Europe and France and others have no choice.
