That chase it. And so I think to JBL's point, so much of this second term should at least be among the journalism or pundit class should be able to disaggregate the real from the trolling. Now, to Tim's point, though, I think the idea that the trolling doesn't have real consequences is.

because not everybody's able to disaggregate these things, or because sometimes things that read as funny, like, saying we're going to take over Canada is kind of funny to Americans because of, and maybe even to some Canadians, just because of the unique relationship, the closeness, the cultural closeness, but also, like, no one really thinks this is going to happen, but does that change society?

Certain geopolitical calculus does it. Trump wants people to be like, he's unpredictable. He's a madman. And he wants to do it to places like Greenland and Canada, where he feels like everybody will kind of be cool about it, as opposed to Iran and Egypt and places where it can set off real potential issues. And so- Cuba, even.

My only thought is that, and this is where JVL and I tend to depart a little bit, is that, you know, even if he doesn't, let's say, do the thing, And I'm not eager, in many cases, for him to do the thing. I understand JVL's point that we can't keep sort of protecting people from the consequences of their actions.

Oh, but actually, sorry. And I'll just say one other thing, though, that's bad about it, though, is it does create an appetite for people. Just because he doesn't do the mass deportations but talks about it forever... It doesn't mean that it doesn't have consequences, right?
