But Trump will willfully repeat things that are just wrong or make promises that are just not true.

Sarah, you referenced the Social Security one, which I think that's an important point because this is the president using an address like this to repeat something that is just absolutely not true, suggesting that dead people and people over the age of 100 are collecting Social Security payments illegally. It's just not happening.

And to use a platform like that, to repeat that, I think tells you a lot about the universe that Trump lives in. I also think he makes claims like my administration is going to balance the federal budget. Absolutely no plan on the table offers any path to balancing the budget. But it was a bit of an echo chamber speech to me.

I think that he was getting exactly the feedback that he wanted from the Republicans in his party. I wasn't in the chamber, but I'm not sure there was like a single rallying moment in that speech tonight. And to me, one of my takeaways is like we know that Trump brings about a certain amount of partisanship when he governs.

And it feels like the second time around, it's likely to be even more acute as Democrats on the Hill really position themselves into a very defensive crouch right now.

Yeah. But also, I think today is a great example about how Trump's rhetoric doesn't live in a vacuum. You know, they announced new tariffs and the result of that was stock markets have been very volatile. And today there was major drops in the stock market.

And then immediately you see people like Commerce Secretary Howard Letnick coming out and saying, oh, we might walk back some of those tariffs we just announced. And Trump just injects a ton of uncertainty into the economy and the economy likes certainty. So I think that Trump is trying to do two things right.
