He wanted to split the transatlantic partnership. While someone might say there are cracks in it, but I still believe in the long run hasn't happened. He wanted to split Europe. It's more united than ever. He wanted to keep defense expenditure down. We're now all going to 5%. So things are not going his way economically. We're looking at interest rates and inflation, you know, in the teens. (25:37–25:41)
