00:00:00.000 And this is something people do not know about Trump, is that he does not care.
00:00:04.840 Like, if you go to meet with Trump, like, for example, right now at Mar-a-Lago, he cares about golfing.
00:00:12.740 He's playing golf every day.
00:00:13.900 He likes to meet with celebrities.
00:00:15.100 He likes to arrange these elaborate parties at Mar-a-Lago, and who's going to be the musical act, and what's the entertainment going to be.
00:00:22.360 So he just does not care about governing.
00:00:24.840 If he didn't care about governing the first term or the second term, he's very hands-off.
00:00:29.040 And so what happens then, if you're hands off as the chief executive, who's really running the show?
00:00:35.500 Everybody else.
00:00:36.220 The cabinet officials, the people under them, the chiefs of staff, the deputy chiefs of staff, or whoever.
00:00:41.680 Do you think because he maybe tried the first time around and it was so hard he gave up the second time?
00:00:46.240 He just doesn't care.
00:00:47.720 He just doesn't care.
00:00:48.780 That's what people can't get through their heads.
00:00:51.400 It's like you have these plan truster types where they're like, no, no, there's a plan.
00:00:55.940 this is five-dimensional chess, and we just got to trust Trump. Trump literally does not care.
00:01:02.840 The stuff he cares about is like the helipad at the White House, the East Wing, the ballroom
00:01:08.160 they're building, the White House decorations, all the elaborate, the Oval Office putting all
00:01:13.680 the gold trim everywhere. That's the kind of stuff he cares about. He doesn't care
00:01:18.100 about governing. He's not good at it. It's not his wheelhouse. It's boring. And so in the first
00:01:25.140 term it was like legendary people would talk about his temper tantrums or he's like throwing
00:01:29.380 food against the wall and screaming at people on the phone because he's just mad that he can't
00:01:34.300 get through because politics is very frustrating you got to deal with congress and you got to deal
00:01:38.700 with your in his first term they were rebelling against him in the white house like he would tell
00:01:43.820 them to do something and they'd refuse to do it people working for him in the pentagon in the
00:01:48.940 cabinet. So, you know, this is just something that he's not interested in. And people don't
00:01:55.300 get that. People think that he's like this tireless defender of whatever. He's a person,
00:02:00.560 like he's a guy at the end of the day. Right. And yeah, people are flawed. And what's his MO? I mean,
00:02:05.400 he's a promoter. That's what he's famous for. And he's good at it. That's why he's a great
00:02:10.020 campaigner. But like, you know, so there was some truth in this. I'm not like a DeSantis guy,
00:02:14.520 But when they said like DeSantis is a political nerd, he loves public policy.
00:02:21.340 And so do some of these other, you know, Ted Cruz is a Harvard educated lawyer, debate champion.
00:02:26.540 This is their bread and butter.
00:02:28.200 Trump gets his information from Fox News.
00:02:31.080 I know, but the future is so going to be influencers.
