Summary

Everyone is trying to make sense of Trump’s latest statements on taking over Gaza. Today, I build a thesis about Trump that is instructive in directing our focus for the next four years. Trump is great at thinking outside the box on big-picture goals. However, because he is not ideological, he is often prone to accepting deals, regardless of the exact details, just to show that his trolling worked. In fact, this often overextends him and forces him to feel pressured into taking deals rather than walking away from them. If we create guardrails and an ideological rudder, the sky is the limit. I also discuss the need to place the elimination of USAID and the Department of Education into budget reconciliation. Plus, how the sovereign wealth fund ties into mRNA and data centers and why that is a great example of Trump’s out-of-the box thinking that needs ideological guardrails.

0:47.2	list of notes that I don't have time to get to, but we're going to power through a lot of the
0:51.6	issues. But what I want to do instead today, rather than going through as many issues as I can that I usually do,
1:00.4	I want to try to guide you through a thesis, a working thesis that I have to understand what's going on with Trump.
1:10.7	And at the same time, I'm not trying to understand what's going on with Trump. And at the same time, I'm not trying to understand what's going on with Trump because that's not my job.

1:20.0	Okay?
1:21.2	It's to understand what we ought to do in the context of the opportunities and challenges that were given, based on Trump's

1:58.6	And I might say, well, Daniel, he doesn't have it.
2:01.0	Okay, well, then someone needs to have it.
2:03.2	Then you need a support system, a network of people who do have it.
