And there's a, there's a benefit to that, but there's also the downside to that, which is that, you know, you get reactions from the media, you get reactions from Democrats, uh, things are portrayed, uh, If mistakes are made, those become bigger.

So they can raise their tariffs all they want. Who gives a shit, right? We're going to, we are the country that had, we have the leverage and the Trump administration is willing to use it. I mean, this is like a high stakes poker game where they're shoving chips in, I'll raise you, no, I'll raise you back. But we have more chips than they do. They cannot stay with us if we continue to do this.
