about not growing at the rate that they need to, and we're worried about growing too fast. Who wins the trade war?

Okay, now the fact that it took President Trump to pretty much force this through the government tells you a lot about the low quality of our government before this. Because now that it's happening, doesn't it feel obvious that it was the right thing to do? You know, before the trade war, almost all the smart people were saying no, no, no, trade wars are terrible, don't do that, everything will come crashing down. Didn't pretty much all of the smart people say that? And now that we're in the middle of it, it's so obviously the right thing to do. Obviously, you know, and it's obviously working.

Now we don't know how long it will be to get a deal, but we know that the president set it up perfectly. He started with having a great relationship with President Xi. He continues to praise President Xi for being a strong leader and a capable person. And he recognizes that Xi is fighting for his team. He's now fighting for America. Why shouldn't he? So he's setting up the respect part perfectly. And then he's using his economic leverage professionally and perfectly. This is exactly the way a trade dispute should look. It should look exactly like this. He's nailing that. He's nailing the heck out of it.

Now we don't know how it will turn out, but if you were to judge it from this point in history, you'd have to give the president an A plus. He picked the right time to do it and he created the right atmosphere to do it. He's doing that. You know, he got a few small ones done, you know, Mexico and Canada. Really his team and the president are handling this perfectly. There's no way that that could be missed by... I mean, what kind of a critic would even dispute it today? You know, you can see it. When you had less transparency about it months ago or a year ago, I think a reasonable person could have said, you know, be careful about this, don't do it. You know, that would have been an okay opinion even if you disagreed with it. But today, when we're actually tamping down the rate of growth of our own economy because it's too hot, and there's shrinking inequalities and our deal from the postage to the IP that they're stealing to everything else, it just seems so obvious that this was the right move. Now I don't know how anybody could even argue against it at this point.

So here's the fun part. Have you e
