That's not a good thing for the Democratic Party, everybody. If you're here illegally, do not protest against immigration, your immigration status by burning the American flag and do not wave the Mexican flag, because that suggests to an outsider, whether that is a fair impression or not, that you love Mexico so much that you don't want to go back.

And you hate the United States so much you have to stay here. And that's incoherent. Incoherent.

I think the problem we have with China and the Europeans is, everybody knows it, but we don't really say it, is that they have been taking advantages of us for ossified or anachronistic reasons. In other words, the Europeans still think it's 1946 and we're the only superpower. They've been devastated. And so they get the Marshall Plan or they get asymmetrical tariff.

China still thinks it's 1980 and the post-Mao era or the middle 80s, and they're trying to liberalize their economy. So we're going to let them with this George H.W. idea that we kind of let them cheat and then they'll become democratic because they get wealthy. That's both over with. So what seems a shock is not a shock.

All that Trump is trying to say on a series of these issues are, I will go down to zero tariffs with you, Germany, with you, France, with you, China, if you do. They don't want to. They love this market here. They can dump stuff. And so no tariffs for you, no tariffs for us. You go 5%, we're not going to go 2% on you anymore. And China, you have 350,000 students before COVID, probably still 300.

You dotted our landscape on campus with Confucius Institutes, which were PRC conduits. You have about 1% or 2%. of your students are active espionage people. That's probably 2,000 or 3,000, or if not more, you're buying key farmland, often real estate next to military bases. We saw what happened with the spy balloon. We don't do that to you. So don't do it to us.

And then they, and to a lesser extent, the Europeans, then say, look at Trump. He's a disruptor. Or they write an article in Foreign Affairs or the New Republic, and they say, this is horrible. This is what he's doing. No, he's bringing us back to the middle, normal. And what Donald Trump believes, and we haven't seen, we'll see what happens. We'll keep an open mind. But he believes...
