I'd be surprised if the worst Trump material is in the first trunch.

Yeah, let's say that.

So we'll continue to wait.

He gave a speech I want to talk to you about earlier this week, the kind of, you know, mall Santa yelling at America speech that he did earlier this week about about how he was given a bad deal with the economy and some on the left.

Before the speech, in the lead up, we're talking about how this, whatever it was that he was going to say was supposed to be this big distraction from the Epstein file, so it was coming.

I was never sure if that was really the motivation.

If it was, the motivation seems to have been a total failure.

I was wondering what you made of his remarks earlier in the week.

Yeah, Elizabeth Warren's got a white paper, and he's selling you a monorail.

It's interesting that you said that because it was one of my observations as well.

Like, obviously, he lies all the time.

And obviously, you and I are going to disagree with the substance of whatever BS spin that he's trying to push no matter what.

But so just judging it, though, on a performance level.

Yeah.

He was always really good at the flood the zone with shit strategy at playing the tabloid game of like, hey, I'm going to get you to talk about this other thing.

You know, maybe it's going to offend the sensibilities of some people, but I know my people like it.

And now we'll get now move the conversation.

It failed completely on that score.

It was not successful as a distraction or as a performance or as something to move people to a more comfortable turf for him.

And we kind of trusted that you'd be good at this.
