And so, like, I'm very interested in, you know, Cuba and very interested in Colombia.
And I watched, it was funny, I was watching a rally last night in Colombia, right?
where their president, who President Trump does not like, Gustavo Petro, he was about to give this big rally and he was late.
And it looks like he was late because he was speaking to President Trump.
Which is a stunning, stunning thing.
So he gets out in front of this crowd of thousands and thousands of people in Bogota for what was expected to be a very anti-U.S.,
rally and he says and you know i'm summarizing here uh but he says something along the lines of you know i had one speech prepared uh but now i have to give another speech and and he's like let me tell you the first speech was really tough and then he said something along the lines of president trump not being not being dumb and he isn't you know he used the word bobo he's not he's not he's not dumb and the crowd kind of hissed or booed or didn't react positively to that
Um, and it's this amazing thing.
And then he posts something on social media afterwards where he has an, a Colombian Jaguar and an, and a U S bald Eagle.
And they're kind of like, you know, nuzzling up together.
And this is a guy, I mean, there's been like a war of words on social media between Trump and, and, and Gustavo Petro for, you know, many weeks now.
Uh, and so to see this kind of turnaround in the last, you know, and it's just, it's just incredible.
Well, I think with Colombia, I would first take issue that for years there's been this kind of animosity to the point of military intervention.
Gustavo Petro has never been a super fan of the United States.
I think that's a fair way to put it.
He's a former rebel himself.
And so he has not been a fan.
