Thank you. So what I love about this book is it frames the election of Donald Trump and his administration in multi generational terms. You know, being 26 years old and traveling the country and supporting this president. I like how you talk about how this has really changed the course of future presidents and our country. You talk about what the president has done to hold China accountable, which no other leader had done before him, ending the endless wars. And also you have a very sharp critique of the Chamber of Commerce. I want to get into all of that, but first, can you just talk about why you wrote this book and also the historical significance of the Trump presidency?
B (2:25)
Well, first, I wrote the book because I believe this president is both the most important consequential president of our lifetime. In fact, I think he's arguably the greatest president in the country's history. Only Abraham Lincoln, in my opinion, has a claim to the same mantle as he has achieved in his first term in office. Fdr, certainly over three terms, has his place in the pantheon of great presidents and Teddy Roosevelt, and the list goes on. But this president stands tallest among them, I believe, because of what he's managed to accomplish that is so important, critically important to the country achieving its destiny. And secondly, reversing the decline of this great nation. Under three previous presidents, from Bill Clinton to George W. Bush to Barack Obama, we couldn't have asked for much, well, a more toxic combination of mediocrity and leadership than those three men all bound together in our nation's history. So that's first, the reason that I did it. The second is because he's overcome so many challenges as he tried to move this nation forward. It's to me remarkable how little credit even among some of his supporters that this president gets because he is without question a man who has, in black and white, in empirical, physical terms, altered the course of the nation. Whether it is balanced, mutual, reciprocal trade with our trading partners around the world, whether it is addressing the issue of NATO and making everyone understand it is time for shared burdens and obligations to be met and to change actually the mission of NATO, which every, every political wag writing in the popular left wing media scoffed at. You recall when he, when he said NATO is, has to, well, let's say, correct its attitude and its direction. The list goes on. He is an immense national treasure. He has done so much that is unappreciated and will do so much more that is critical to this nation and its people achieving both our destiny and our potential.
