Hello, everyone. It's JVL here with my bulwark colleague, Andrew Eger, and Donald Trump,

Donald Trump, our president, sat down with the good folks at Reuters, and they published today

that he said something very interesting. He said that when you think of it, we shouldn't even

have an election. He said referring to the elections, which

will be taking place all across America, this November, less than a year from now.

Andrew, is this a big deal? Well, it's funny you should put it that way, because this is one of

these things that Donald Trump does periodically, right, where he's like, hey, wouldn't it be crazy if I just were a dictator? Or wouldn't it be crazy if I just canceled the elections? Or wouldn't it be crazy if I just like invaded Greenland militarily? Wouldn't that be just nuts? And a lot of people say, well, yeah, actually, that would be really, really nuts if you did that. And then, you know, his whole peanut gallery immediately is like, ha ha, gotcha,

again, you know, circles the wagon's like, yeah, that's exactly why he said it in the first place

to get a rise out of you, you know, cringing, hand-wringing, liberals.

Yeah, exactly, triggered you, gotcha.

And at the same time, there's this whole undercurrent where all the stuff that he's supposedly

joking about, he's kind of doing a lot of that stuff all along, right?

He actually is like creating these giant geopolitical waves with regard to Greenland.

He actually has in the past tried to steal a presidential election and is, in fact,

like, giving his underling's directives to do all sorts of interesting work ahead of this

upcoming one. So, I mean, it's like, I don't know, when you, I'm curious, because you, JVL,

like, your whole thing is sort of like trying to

ferret out which of these things are like real plausibilities and which of them are

are sort of smoke and mirrors. Like when you hear something like this from the president,

do you kind of like roll your eyes and say, there he goes again, the big dummy, you know,

with like doing little bits for his hooting base?

Or, or do you react in a different way?
