And it sends a message that those of you out there, it's almost like he's trying to broadcast to those, you know, in occupied America, right? You know, like Red Dawn, you know, well, here in free America, and here's a message for all my friends who voted for me. John has a long mustache. The chair is against the door, you know, this sort of freedom code.

One part of it is that Trump has exhausted everyone into resignation. That's part of what's going on with me where I'm just sitting back and saying, you know, okay, you want to argue for two years about the Gulf of America, whatever. But I think Trump's fire hosing, and I've been saying this for eight years, he fire hoses us and then we just accept it as normal.
