And now here's Armstrong and Getty.

Well, I thought that people were jumping a little bit out of line. They were getting

yippy, you know, they were getting a little bit yippy, a little bit afraid, unlike these champions,

because we have a big job to do. No other president would have done what I did. No other

president. I know the presidents. They wouldn't have done it. And it had to be done. I think we have

we have a really big problem which is we have two strong guys, neither of which wants to back down.

And I was in China a couple of weeks ago and the Chinese have been preparing for this for years.

They may not have expected quite the scale and speed with which this has become a full-on trade

war with 125% tariffs.

But they are ready for this, and they are in no mood right now to back down.

And so practically, it's very, very difficult for Xi Jinping to lose face.

You know, that's it's, he cannot lose face.

So for the moment, I think quite how they unwind this becomes hard.

That is really interesting.

I, you know, I hadn't even thought of the Chinese perspective.

So they knew at some point America was going to have to do this.

Yeah, of course they do.

Over and over again.
