People who are still riding with Trump just tend to have hope that maybe they will start going well at some point because you got to trust the plan.

I mean, you trust the plan.

We might get there.

But the big thing is just costs, right?

Everybody talks about, how do you think things are going in the country?

People say bad.

Gas prices are high.

We're suddenly in a war with Iran.

You know, I wanted Trump to deport criminals, but he's doing all this other stuff.

And it's this pervasive feeling.

In fact, we just did a focus group, and I really liked this group.

It was people who are still approvers of Trump, people who are still rocking with him, that 32%.

I've got my Bush line, right?

Yeah.

But people who are, let's call it below the bush line, people who are like, I'm still in it with Trump.

Surprised I managed to get that by you without you giggling.

Do you know that I coined that phrase entirely innocently and only until I said it to Tim Miller?

Yeah.

Well, they bastardize things that I take purely.

So but the people who are still riding with Trump who think things are going great, even they think that the state of the country, like the way that we relate to each other is awful.
