We had a trade surplus with them. That's an important point. Thank you for bringing that up. Okay. I really, I love this tariff issue. I just got to say, I love it. I think it's going to be super important for two reasons. It breaks the idea that Trump is some kind of economic genius that is going to lead the country into prosperity. Shatters that idea.

And we're going to see it this summer because he can't unwind the effects now. But also, you have the double bonus that it also shatters the idea that he's a good negotiator. Yes. Again, why are we negotiating with countries that we have a trade surplus with? That makes no flipping sense. His whole point is the deficit. Why are we doing any of this? And again, it goes back to like...

This idea, the reason why he's doing this, he said in an executive order, we have to have Liberation Day and tariffs because there's some national security issue. What are you talking about?

What is the national security issue that you had to revisit and negotiate the price of beef like some nanny state leader where you're just getting in there with your little ledger and be like, okay, Rolls Royce. You can have a waiver for airplane engines. I mean, just like it is bananas. It's not a good use of any president's time.

Although, you know, I don't mind Trump wasting some time not doing worse things. But it's just like, you know, the movie idea tariff. Like since when are foreign films part of a national security emergency? I mean, I know he gets ideas from the movies, but it's just the dumbest idea. Crap possible. And it's going to blow up in his face.

And people better be ready to explain why, you know, this is just not only bad policy, but it's bad autocratic policy. This kind of like autocratic bullshit policy. does not make anyone more prosperous or more free. People always give him the critique, well, he doesn't understand how tariffs work.

He absolutely understands tariffs in the context in that this is a mechanism I can use where everyone needs to grovel to me and I get to be in charge. That's why he likes the tariffs. But, you know, the idea that this is all done under the umbrella of a supposed national security emergency. I mean, I expect false flags to be better orchestrated, especially by a conspiracy theorist in chief.
