Yeah, I saw that clip of him, and that's obviously a good message for the administration. But he also said in another clip, I think it was this morning, it might have been on Maria's show, when he was talking about tariffs with the Chinese, he was like, listen, we import five times more right, than China imports of our goods. So they're the surplus country.

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.

Now, is it going to cause pain? Perhaps. I mean, the other concern that people are talking about is, is this going to, you know, if we're, you know, If we're getting after Vietnam and some of these other countries, is that going to drive them into the arms of the Chinese and away from us? Those, I think, are legitimate questions. But at the end of the day, I mean, I think Kevin O'Leary is right.

We have been โ and this is what Trump has been saying for a long time. We've been taken advantage of by the Chinese in particular for so long. We've just come to accept that that's the sort of normal course of things. And so finally we're saying โ even as they have cheated and stolen, not just IP, but the way they dump products, they manipulate their currency.

I mean, they do a whole host of things which are really underhanded and not what you want in a legitimate trading partner. And so we're trying to reset this. And I think if we can do it, if the Trump administration can do it, it'll be a huge win for the country in the medium and long term.

Right, and there is this disconnect between folks in the media and certainly the Democrats when they say, well, I don't think that this is what Trump voters voted for. They're having buyer's remorse and then you talk to a Trump voter, they're like, this is exactly what I voted for and I would vote for it again. you know, twice if I could. I mean, they love what he's doing.
