I've flipping told you, didn't I? Keith, get the tin. Honestly, the way in which Donald Trump

0:04.8

will conduct this war is to so just complete and utter confusion. And by the way, I don't think

0:10.4

it's a tactic. I used to think it was a tactic. I used to think it was a modus operandi, but I don't

think he can operate in any different way. He is just entirely chaotic. And sadly,

0:20.0

and sadly, he's arrived in a position of

0:21.8

prominence at a time in human history when many people are drawn to the chaos. Because I said to you,
