Well, I think it's both domestic and international, in a sense that if you think what drives it and why the likes of Bernie Sanders and the likes of Donald Trump red the mood of American people much more than institutionalized people like Biden or Harris, i is really to do what I I I describe, actually Danny Roderick of Harvard University described as a political trilogy.
Of global economy.
You cannot have globalization and economic integration, nation states, and democracy all at the same time.
You can pick up two out of the three, but you can't have all three, and you can't have all at the same time.
So if you think of domestic and international pressures, I think Trump is reflecting both of them.
If you go back in time, it's really Paul Walker deregulating global.
Global financial system, followed by Bill Clinton in 1994 NAFTA, followed by China entering WTO in 2001, have created an environment where people feel justifiably or not, but they feel that their jobs, their livelihoods somehow were stolen by other people.
And so this is a response to that to say to people, I am
I am looking after you.
I am trying to protect it.
But at the same time, there is also an inflationary element that I think Trump fully understands, or he must fully understand, that the principal reason why Biden lost was the inflation.
And so the question is: when you start imposing those tariffs, you have to remember that up to half of all US imports are intermediate.
Goods.
So if you actually impose tariffs, you're taxing your own manufacturers and your own exporters.
So there is an element of domestic and international.
Well, that's a great question.
Um, one of the things my new book explores is that the last time we had the same degree of uh disequilibrium or or polarization was really in the nineteen thirties.
And back then there were three systems on a menu.
You could choose communism, you could choose fascism, or you could choose constrained democracy.
It wasn't a choice between freedom or liberty.
