#445 โ€“ Vivek Ramaswamy: Trump, Conservatism, Nationalism, Immigration, and War

So I'll respond to that. Sure. Obviously I'm not the candidate, but I'm going to give you my perspective nonetheless. I think we have seen some growth from Donald Trump over that first term in the experience of the 2020 election. And you hear a lot of that on the campaign trail. I heard a lot of that even in the conversation that he had with you.

I think he is more ambitious for that second term than he was for that first term. So I think that was the most interesting part of what you just said, is you're looking for somebody who has growth from their own experiences.

Say what you will, I have seen personally, I believe, some meaningful level of personal growth and ambition for what Donald Trump hopes to achieve for the country in the second term that he wasn't able to for one reason or another. You know, COVID, you could put a lot of different things on it, but in that first term.

Holistically, on the eve of the 2020 presidential election, we saw a systematic bureaucratically and government aided suppression of probably the single most important piece of information released in the eve of that election. The Hunter Biden laptop story revealing potentially a compromised U.S. presidential candidate. His family was compromised by foreign interests.
