I've told you before that if you were to summarize why it was that I supported Trump from earlier days, here's my reasoning. I don't know if I've ever said this explicitly, but when I looked at him, I said, we've never seen that toolbox before. He could solve problems that a president can't solve. A normal president, you know, a modern president might. But it was just obvious to me from almost day one that he was a solver with a set of tools that was unlike anything we'd ever seen. And every now and then, you don't want a normie president. You can't have a normal president throughout all time because they won't get it done. There'll always be these little pockets of things such as the border that they act like they can't solve. Sometimes you need to bring in the big wizard to solve the things that nobody can solve. Trump is taking on all the hardest problems, like the really hard ones, like the super hard problems, and he's just checking them off. Check, check, check. Middle East peace, check, check. I mean, it's crazy.

So when I watch him solve the unsolvable, I say that's it. That's the thing. That's the reason I support him. Is it because he says insults to people? I kind of enjoy that. But no, that's not why I support him. Yeah, I don't support him because the insults. So when I say that if your worldview predicts it might be accurate. So I'm gonna give you, do you remember a prediction I made? I made a prediction that Trump will always take the strongest position on every policy, even if he knows that the strongest position could never get done. Maybe because it's too hard, too expensive, Democrats hate it too much, unconstitutional, the courts will stop it. And I told you that he'll always take the strongest position and that in the long run that's a winning strategy. No matter how many times he gets shot down from being able to do the strongest thing, it's still smart to say the strongest thing. And here's the best example.

And that 60 Minutes interview with O'Donnell, he was asked, "Do you think all these anecdotal situations with ICE allegedly doing rough tactics with individuals?" She goes, "Do you think, you know, I forget the exact question, but do you think it went too far?" Now when Norah asked that it was about individual cases which she mentioned you know this case this case this case she goes do you think it went too far ICE what do you think Trump said what would my prediction be my prediction would be if he always takes the strongest stance that he's not only going to say it didn't go too far but that it should go farther and that's what he did. But he changed the context and then CBS of course and the pundits will pretend he didn't. But he changed the context away from these individual cases which nobody could really defend because you don't know what happened really. He changed it to the question of immigration. So he was saying we haven't done enough for immigration but she was asking about these specific cases. So he found a way to make it yes, we should even do more. It was the way to do it. It was exactly right from a persuasion point of view. Again, only Trump. Don't you think that a normal politician would have said something like, "Oh, we need to look into those cases. Those specific cases sound very bad. We better look into those right away." Thank you very much for bringing that up to my attention. Nope. Trump says, "No, we shouldn't go harder." But he changes it to the general topic, not to the individuals.

What about Trump saying that he wants to resume nuclear detonation testing, which by the way, Secretary Wright says that's not what we're talking about. According to Secretary Wright, we're talking about testing the non-critical explosions. So all of the process up to but not including the actual nuclear bang. So there is some question whether Trump ever meant that they would test the bang or whether he meant we would do what other countries do which is test everything that goes up to the bang but stops there. Now he also said that China and Russia have been testing with actual detonations for years. Have they? I don't know. It would be top secret if somebody knew that. But he teased it like our intel people know that China and Russia have been continuously t
