It's hard for us to comprehend.

Where Trump, if he really wants to sell this war, so to speak, what he does is he drives oil prices back down with a successful operation.

He explains to the American people why this operation works.

resulted in more money in your pocket that's how you sell it you don't need to sell it by saying you know it's about this like pincer movement on china and like stabilize people don't like we might respond to that and to people watching but we're like what five percent of the country the majority of people are just like yo gas just went up another 20 cents what's going on over there why can't these people in the desert figure this out like what's going on

So that's how you do it if you're Trump.

And Trump understands this very well.

This is why he's such a genius.

This is why he's such a genius politically.

It's because he understands people respond to reward.

People need to be incentivized to participate in politics.

They save face, but he also understands that every country at the negotiating table is self-interested, so he's not going to pander and, honestly, in my opinion, patronize a lot of these, especially European countries.

Right, yeah, and the bilateral also, he likes negotiating two countries so they can weave it together.

It makes it more difficult for a war to break out.

Oh, the we in Armenia and Azerbaijan.

But no, yeah, Trump understands.

This is Trump geopolitics 101.

He understands that no matter who's at the negotiating table, he knows that they're going to be self-interested in looking out for their people.

And that's sadly such a massive departure from every government over the last 60 to 70 years.

He understands when you sit at the table with Russia, they're not looking to make a deal that will benefit both of us.

They're just like, what's in it for Russia?
