It sort of hit me in the stomach there, you know, Tim.
I mean, it's really to talk about human dignity in the same sentence as the people who have imprisoned immigrants who've done nothing wrong except seek a better life in this country, throwing them in these ice blocks.
Prisons, you know, with no process, with no, I mean, thousands and thousands of court decisions have said, it's not my opinion that I'm offering here.
Thousands and tens of thousands of court decisions since Trump and Vance came into office saying that what they're doing to immigrants is an abuse of power, that it's wrong, and it's a violation not only of the rule of law, but of basic principles of human decency.
We've got to go to Disney and revisit the Hall of the Presidents.
Yeah, I mean, well, as far as the farmers go, Donald Trump loves to provide evidence that, you know, his ride or die supporters will be there no matter how much he humiliates them, no matter how much he backs away from policies that would support him, no matter how much he fails to deliver the things that he said he would deliver.
To Trump, that's like the ultimate sort of political own, and he loves that move.
I also wouldn't underestimate the extent to which Donald Trump...
really has at this point an extremely vindictive view of our neighbors, in particular of Canada, anything he can do to screw Canada.
And Mark Carney, the prime minister, who has made standing up to Donald Trump and creating an alternate pathway for the middle powers of the world who still believe in quaint concepts like liberal democracy, this is, I think, pretty personal for Trump in ways that we may be understating.
And then I think the most important thing is the thing that you pointed out, Tim, which is
that it's a way of aggrandizing his power.
And the more that we don't have predictable take-it-to-the-bank treaties, deals, rules, but everything depends upon the munificence of the czar, that's Donald Trump's preferred method of not just policymaking, but economic governance.
And he sees the economy in ways that is very antithetical to traditional free market Republican capitalism.
It's much more a monarchical view of the right of the Lord to intervene and control the economy, to take stakes in companies, to create national champions, and to have all deals flow through him in some way.
And when all deals flow through you, you know, what happens?
Some of it sticks, shall we say.
Yeah, that's right.
I mean, I think it's really important in a conflict, the difference between, you know, a democratic government
And something like Vladimir Putin's Russia is not only not to engage in the deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure or civilian sites like a school, but when those things happen and they do happen in war situations.
