I live in an ultra-conservative writing, and I have weekly book club meetings with my
00:00:06.000
neighbors, and I was surprised at how many of my neighbors don't like Trump.
00:00:10.460
It truly shocked me, and I think what his latest salvo really soured a lot of people.
00:00:15.740
They probably did like Trump in the beginning, but some people truly were shocked by Trump
00:00:23.480
attacking us so viciously in the last little while.
00:00:27.300
Yeah, I can sort of relate to that as well, because I like Trump and I find him hilarious.
00:00:31.520
I don't think he gets enough credit for just being like entertaining and funny.
00:00:34.780
And I think that the team that he's assembled is really good.
00:00:37.220
I love the Make America Healthy Again movement.
00:00:39.140
And there's so much about it that I really like, but I have not liked this.
00:00:41.920
Like, I don't think that a tear for against your closest friend and ally is a good strategy.
00:00:45.640
I don't think that calling Canada the 51st state and repeating the Governor Trudeau thing,
00:00:50.040
even though it is kind of funny, but it's just so unhelpful to Canadian politics
00:00:53.620
because it has just completely changed the entire conversation in Canada.
00:00:59.360
It's frustrating that an external force that we used to think was for good
00:01:06.600
And finally, the thing I liked about Trump was that I felt like
00:01:09.000
we were going to have a golden age and that it was going to be
00:01:12.080
We're finally going to get like the roaring 20s
00:01:18.560
I mean, the stock market is just in an absolute free fall.
00:01:20.860
and it doesn't really feel like we're like anybody's winning at this point his own citizens
00:01:26.140
and his own advisors are telling him that hey donald like whoa whoa whoa i mean you know yeah
00:01:30.980
to your point candace i think uh last i looked the american market had lost 4.5 trillion dollars
00:01:37.200
in market cap that's that's that's a big number
