should because that's where a big problem is. Kind of brilliant. That is so brilliant. You've never even seen a president do anything that smart before. This is other level persuasion smart. This is not normal people stuff. I don't think I could have gotten out of that.

All right. We're also entering, in no particular order here, we're entering a phase of the pandemic where we're going from a place where Trump was arguably the worst choice for the job. Because early in the pandemic what the public seemed to want is some kind of empathy and plain talking about how bad it was. Now unfortunately or depending on your point of view fortunately this is either a feature or a bug. This president doesn't know how to talk negative. He just doesn't know how to say things are going to get worse. It's also why we like him, those of you who do like him, because he's an internal optimist. No matter how bad things are it's going to get better. Make America great again. It's optimism is his primary feature. But if you end up in a pandemic in the early start of it, you know in the beginning where really you do have to just tell the public look this is going to be bad. You know I got to be honest with you this is gonna be bad but we need to pull together. He isn't that guy. All right. If we can be honest, no matter how much you love the president he's just not that guy. He's not the guy who delivers bad news and makes you feel comfortable with it. It's just not. But that was the guy we needed a few months ago. If we had had an election then maybe he would have lost and maybe that would have been fine if we could get somebody in who was good on that phase. It wasn't really an option. But where are we going to be around election day? Well I think that no matter what's happening with the virus, whether we get our drugs and vaccines or not, we're going to be working on the economy more than we're working on saving lives. Because I think the therapeutics and the way we're treating people is so good that the death rate's going to come down, probably keep coming down. If the stuff we learned about vitamin D is true that death rate is going to plunge more. If the vaccine works the optimism alone will be good for the economy but the death rate will plunge again. So we're entering a phase where you could almost guarantee that the rebuilding the economy will be more important than fighting the virus fairly soon. You know we're talking about this winter. We're going to be talking about the economy more.

Who is the best person you've ever seen for that phase? Trump, I would argue. That just as it is true that he was the wrong personality for the first part of the pandemic, you don't want him talking about medical stuff because he uses hyperbole. You don't want that, right? You don't want medical conversation with hyperbole. That's a bad combination. You don't want the eternal optimist to be the one who has to deliver bad news every day. It just doesn't work. It doesn't work. And I've said this before. Everybody who thinks there's such a thing as a good president and a bad president doesn't really understand how the world works. There's no such thing as a good president or a bad president. There is such a thing as a president who is right for the situation. I would argue that Obama was right for the situation he picked up in his first term. We were on the edge of an economy and we just wanted a reassuring voice and Obama brought that. We wanted somebody that we knew would look at the details. Obama gave us that. So he was a perfect fit for taking us off the edge of the economic thing. He would not be a perfect fit if you put him into the presidency to let's say in November and say okay Obama your job is to goose the economy. Not the right guy. You know he's solid but he's not the one who's going to put the rocket fuel on it. He's not the rocket fuel guy. We've only had one president who's the rocket fuel guy and that's the one you got. So I would argue that the president is moving from the phase where he would be the least fitted, that empathy, no optimism stuff, and moving into the place where you couldn't design a better situation for this president to fit into. He's the comeback president. He came back from his own business losses in the past. He came back from being behind Clinton. He's behind Biden right now. He's probably going to come from behind and beat Biden. And he's going to pick up an economy that he had roaring. They got whacked by the virus. And I think literally nobody on the planet, and of 7 billion souls I don't think there is one better person for this specific need than President Trump. That's what I think.

All right. I'm hearing some talk about mail-in votes versus absentee ballots. And the people who are arguing that we have experience with mail-in but we also have experience with absentee, and some states have done full mail-in for a while. So the people who say that the mail-in vote will be dependable and credib
