I mean, think about April 2, how the world was saying, oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God. This whole tariff thing, it's wrong, it's wrong, it's wrong. It is so fundamentally right. And you can ask everybody, Did it cause inflation? No. Did it make America stronger? Yes. Did the world's stock markets go up? Yes. He was completely correct. So my view is I bet on Donald Trump every time, because anybody who's ever bet against him has been wrong. (03:44–03:49)
