What is your thoughts on the Trump UBI? You know, I haven't looked at the details. I'll look at them in the morning before I Periscope. But my understanding is he's getting praise from, it's almost impossible even like barely comes out of my mouth, but Ilhan Omar I think and Pressley praised him too for leadership. And I think that has a whole lot to do with the fact that I think he went big.

So here's something, I don't want to be too political but I think it's always good if you can learn something. So with the learning in mind let me talk about some things. Normally I just want to put the politics aside but if you can learn something that's worth it. I don't think you can lose your reelection by going too hard at everything on the coronavirus. So if the best, kindest, most empathetic and smart people said I think we should give each person X amount, the smartest thing for the president to do, given remember nobody knows the right amount, right? There's nobody smart enough who knows that it's 1,000 or 2,000 or 1,500. Nobody knows the right amount. So there's a lot of judgment and guessing in that.

All right, so within that, I'm gonna have to go in a moment. So within that judgment, yeah damn it I forgot what I was going to say. I was gonna say that you don't really know what you're, if your president's doing a great job or not. But here's some things that you can count on. If the president exceeds what even the good people imagined was the right amount, and I think that would have been a smart thing to do since nobody knows the right amount. Once the people on the left have said darn it we've got to get $1,000 into everybody's hands, and I don't know if this is what happened, I'll check on this tomorrow, but if the president said $1,000, try 3,000, I have no idea if those numbers are close. But the point is if the president went bigger than even the Democrats were asking, that was exactly the right play. Because nobody knows where to go. Nobody knows the right amount. But if he goes smaller everybody's gonna blame you. If you go bigger, what's the worst that could happen? If it doesn't work he's gonna say well I still went bigger than everybody said so it still looks like the smart move even if it doesn't work. And if you went small and it doesn't work, well then you really look like you did everything wrong. So the president has one smart play which just has the advantage of also being within the zone of what we imagine would be good for the country, which is just go big. Just go hard on everything. Drop every regulation you can. He's a maniac at dropping regulations. That's working. That's working well. Removing friction.

I think he's adopted the right war general tone of this. I think his optimism about how quickly we'll get back, it's gonna be closer than anybody else's guess.
