No, no, no, no. I was cringing. I felt my cheeks get warm and embarrassment. We don't want that. It was bad, Tim. And again, it's bad. It's not just cringy. It's evidence of a kind of unseriousness. Like that's the kind of tick tock you put out when a normal Republican president says, I'm going to lower the minimum, the marginal tax rate from thirty seven point nine to thirty.

And when I think about Democrats, you know, getting more into fighting trim, they really should ask, always take a number and put it out there to say, you know, fighting for working families, don't want to give tax cuts to plutocrats.
