“I think, you know, he he certainly has a very optimistic vision of himself. I mean, that's part of what drives him.”

“But like Trump, look, Trump cares about two things. One, the stock market, and two, bad headlines. Like this will likely create some bad headlines.”
“I saw one today that I'm at 40%. 40%. I'm not at 40%. I'm at much higher than that.”
“President Trump called a press conference just to address this ruling. The Supreme Court's ruling on tariffs is deeply disappointing and I'm ashamed of certain members of the court.”

“So, I think that a lot of um the strategic plan that President Trump has had from the beginning is not just arresting illegal criminals and getting them off our streets and protecting Americans. It's also messaging to the world that there's a new sheriff in town, that we're enforcing our laws.”
“So now when President Trump has the ability to appoint a new chairman because Jerome Powell's term is expiring on May 15th, 2026. And so because that time is happening today, President Trump gets to appoint a new chairman.”

It has awarded less grant money, and it canceled its lease on America's only icebreaker dedicated to Antarctic research.”
“And so the point here, I guess, is a recognition that despite Donald Trump's claim that he obliterated the program last year, it repeatedly repeated claim it isn't obliterated, it's inaccessible, it's degraded, it's set back.”
“One of the real advantages that Trump could claim he has secured, if he can get it, is a deal that has no sunset clauses, a deal that has no expiry dates like the JCPoA. If he came away with that, then I think he could say with some plausibility, he has got a deal that is, in that respect, stronger than what Obama was able to get.”
“He was very emotional because of what happened with uh Trump. He's got some advice for you guys. It's resist resist resist Trump is what he had to say.”

Boom. Blow up a bunch of people, grab him, snatch him up, parade him around New York streets in an open van.”
“And I don't think he's a fool. He understands if this goes poorly, he's out in the midterms. He will get impeached immediately, he will get voted out of office in 28, barring something unforeseen, and then they will hound him legally until the end of time.”

Quote, I am pleased to announce that the highly respected United States Senator from the great state of Oklahoma, Mark Wayne Mullen, will become the US Secretary of Homeland Security, effective March 31, 2026.”
“And as for the notion that President Trump never spelled out the goals. Here's President Trump spelling out the goals. Our objectives are clear.”

“I think Trump is trying to radically break apart the old world order so that he can be nimble, selfish, just completely selfish, get everything that the US wants, and he's going to discard our old allies because of the way that they do business. If you think of Europe as like this bureaucratic morass of just like oh this slowm moving moralizing economy even though they're massive much bigger than the Middle East when you think about Trump like wheeler and dealer like I'm the king of the deal uh that kind of regulatory friction obviously is not his jam.”

“Effective immediately, I've ordered the US Development Finance Corporation to provide at a very reasonable price political risk insurance and guarantees for the financial security of all maritime trade... If necessary, the US Navy will begin escorting tankers through the Straight of Hermoose.”

This was the sphere of the Soviet Union, Ukraine, um even the areas he threatened, Poland, the Eastern Europe, all used to be part of the Soviet Union sphere.”
“And that's what Trump decided to do is just kill them all. And you know that's as simple as that. He has no plan of what this looks like on the other end, but he figures if he kills them all, there's enough money in it that they'll all figure it out.”

And gave Trump no choice.”
“It also could be that just Donald Trump is good friends with Netanyahu. He doesn't know anyone to tell him a real contrary point of view on these things I think is a big part of it.”

“Twice, reportedly, perhaps even three times, Trump reached out and tried to see if he could get a ceasefire from the Iranians. The Iranians rejected it.”
“Trump himself personally benefits. Why? Because the Saudis and Israelis are bribing him to um attack Iran. Remember that the Saudis invested $2 billion in the private equity fund of Jared Kushner who is the son-in-law of Donald Trump and the Israelis through Miriam Adelson have been financing Trump's vocal career.”

“He offered a number of different theories, including one of them being that the IRGC, the Revolutionary Guard Corps, would just surrender their weapons to the population.”
“The offramp that Trump Trump, I think, really believed that he could do Midnight Hammer again. He's like, I'll bomb them and then they'll capitulate and negotiate. ... I think what has happened here is Trump thought that their initial salvos would be devastating enough that the regime would either topple or they would be on such thin ice or such shaky ground that they would feel they had to come back to the negotiating table and that has not happened.”
“I mean, look, you look, you already have um you already have Trump in the 30s in terms of his approval rating. You are absolutely right.”

“I think that Trump's preference would be for a short military operation. He's shown no appetite for putting troops on the ground.”
“President Trump does not want to see that. He wants to take an interest in in in pursuing who the next leader of the Iranian uh country is going to be.”
“Immediately following the decision, President Trump said he would impose a 10% tariff globally. Then a day later said he was going to impose a tariffs at the 15% level. But when all was said and done this week, Customs and Border Patrol provided guidance saying tariffs would be at the 10% level.”
