I remember years ago talking to a hedge fund manager who he did some kind of deal with Trump. I don't remember what it was. And the day after the deal closed, I remember telling you the story. Trump said, let's say this guy was making 50 million and Trump was making 10. Trump said, can we reverse those numbers for the New York Post? And the guy's like, what?

All Trump cared about was the headline. And the other guy was like, yeah, as long as I'm getting the money, as long as you're getting diluted. And most of the companies that Trump ran, at the end of the day, he was diluted down to only owning 2% and having his name on the door. But he didn't actually own any of them. It was all about bluster and show.

And so now here you have a person, the leader of the free world, you know, negotiating these deals. Just yesterday, he said, like, we want China to make a deal with us. If you're the person with the strong hand, why are you begging the other one to come to the table? And this is what has people so worried. Can they trust what he's saying?

For Wall Street, you can actually make a ton of money in volatile markets, right? You can buy and sell no sweat. In a recession, you can bet against the market. But Tim, if you ran any sort of business, how on earth would you plan? Today, United Airlines put forward guidance, two separate lanes. Here's what guidance would look like if we face the tariffs.

Here's what it would look like if we won't. Because under what Trump is doing, we actually have a strong, stable economy. It's why things have moved so much, because they're like, if only he would just get back in the ring, we could be OK. But there's no sign of him doing that.

Companies are either pulling guidance entirely because they don't know what's ahead. Or now we're seeing like United, they're giving two outlooks. But think about the last week. Jamie Dimon said, we got a rocky road ahead. Larry Fink said, we may already be in a recession. Goldman has adjusted their GDP outlook to basically zero for 2025. And all of that falls squarely on Donald Trump.

And something I would connect this to, you talk about young voters all the time. Think about all the support Donald Trump had, especially from young men. We've seen that support plummet. And you know why? Because, yeah, they wanted to end wokeness and they wanted to be the men that they were again until they realized, oh, no, the most important thing is the economy.
