If you look over the last, specifically four years, but even really the trend over the last decade or so, is we essentially inverted what people wanted. All of a sudden, the government kept telling you, no, you can't speak freely. No, you can't transact freely. No, you can't do whatever the thing is that you wanna do. And for the last, you know, twelve years, there's been one guy who's represented the change, and that's Trump.
