You know, I may be interested in restoring that building that is in your dilapidated downtown, but I would need a lot of tax breaks.

And I would need you to build a new entrance to the subway and I would need the sidewalk, right?

You throw all these things out and maybe you need one of them, but you lay out all the things and then you're so dismissive.

Oh, well, you know, the sidewalk things, that wasn't really anything.

And you eventually get to somewhere that only you have in mind all along.

That's how Trump works.

So the fact that he's changed his mind or he's calling someone an animal one month and calling them a patriot the next, none of that matters.

He has a goal.

He's not gonna tell you the goal because he wants to achieve the goal.

And the big, big picture here is, and I suspect this, there's evidence for this, but not enough evidence to prove what I'm about to say.

I suspect strongly based on lots of inferences that at some point early in this administration, Rubio and Trump got together and looked at a map of the world and said, our main adversary is China.

China has said publicly that it wants to go to war with the United States in 2027.

How do we make sure they do not go to war with the United States in 2027?

Well, let's weaken them around the world.

They are dependent on Venezuelan oil.

Let's take that away from them.

They are dependent on Cuban intelligence networks.

Let's take that away from them.

They are dependent on loan payments from Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Colombia.

Let's take that away from them.
