They're trying to give the President the benefit of the doubt to see what happens. But I think at the same time we're also hearing from our constituents all the unintended consequences. I think The Port of Seattle, just in May, we were there, said that they are 33% lower on trade than they were a year ago. May, 33% lower. So again, we're a very big trading state and that kind of decline is going to continue to have ripple effects through the economy. (24:07–24:18)
