And I think to your earlier question, I think this is the sort of thing that is starting to annoy people.
The reason that he was re-elected was that people believed that the economy would be considerably better under him, and it's not.
Now, I don't think that that is necessarily his fault.
I think actually we look far too much to our presidents and to Washington DC in general for
economic outcomes.
Economics doesn't really work like that, but Trump does talk like that.
Both parties do, but Trump is particularly braggadocious when he does it.
He says, I alone can fix.
He says that we're entering a new golden age and so forth.
And he's doing the same thing here.

I hear a certain fear, perhaps this relates to the Wall Street Journal, because I didn't read, that Trump

But they're not being.
It's just not good enough to go in in the middle of the night, give a two minute...
uh speech in the middle of the night at mar-a-lago in a trump hat and then to say well we won when people are looking at gas prices and they're looking at an economy that not because of this but in general is not particularly different than it was at the end of the biden administration i just think people find that tiresome because it doesn't pay the bills and trump should understand that and look if he was the sort of person who like you know me says
