There might be some strategy to that. I do think there's a, quote, method to the madness of buttering up a dictator who very much enjoys that to then find some sort of deal that is friendlier on your terms than maybe it would have been. Yes, I think.

So what does that look like? What are the potential responses?

He's actually not implementing tax hikes. Tariffs are a tax hike on foreign countries that, again, have been ripping us off. Tariffs are a tax cut for the American people, and the president is a staunch advocate of tax cuts. As you know, he campaigned on no taxes on tips, no taxes on overtime, no taxes on Social Security benefits.

He is committed to all three of those things, and he expects Congress to pass them later this year. I'm sorry, have you ever paid a tariff?

And ultimately, when we have fair and balanced trade, which the American people have not seen in decades, as I said at the beginning, revenues will stay here, wages will go up, and our country will be made wealthy again. And I think it's insulting that you're trying to test my knowledge of economics and the decisions that this president has made.

I now regret giving a question to the Associated Press.

Well, I think Canada is a neighbor. They are a partner. They have always been an ally. Perhaps they are becoming a competitor now. But as the president also laid out in his Truth Social post today, he believes that Canadians would benefit greatly from becoming the 51st state of the United States of America.

And I actually looked into some of the research about the cost of living in Canada, and the cost of living is much higher than it is here in the United States of America. The average cost of a home in Canada is much higher. In Quebec, the highest tax rate for an income of $150,000 or more is 53.3%, more than half of Canadians' incomes they are being taxed on.

So the president has made it clear that he believes Canadians would be better served economically, militarily, if they were to become the 51st state of the United States of America. Reagan.

And I think Trump deeply resonates with him. Trump said he's putting it all on the line. Trump said this is something that's really not good for him. President Trump chose to do something for our country. He could be on a yacht somewhere floating around with Melania. He put it all on the line as a billionaire. Elon Musk put it all on the line. And it's not self-serving.

Well, the media didn't listen to that. Those gathered in the room, Caitlin Collins, others, because I watched through the channels last night and it was absolute pandemonium. I mean, the freak out was only second to June 27th, the day that Joe Biden had that disastrous debate. And when you look at it, I just thought to myself. They haven't learned the lesson yet. And the lesson is this.

Maybe Trump is not trying to take Gaza. Maybe this is a grand part of a negotiation to get Iran to come to the table, to get Iran to hold back the proxies, to get Iran to stop its nuclear warfare on the world. Maybe that's it. My lesson to the media, this one line I wish they would take, President Trump is playing four-dimensional chess. You all are playing checkers.
