      Exactly! Plausible deniability! Yes! You’re exactly what this administration has been looking for. Someone to ask vague unanswerable questions that paint the situation as a surprise that nobody could see coming!

    Yeah, it’s kinda the point. Those who fear you give great business deals.

    Ukraine mineral deal, EU trade deal, Venezuela oil deal etc, it’s great success! US is winning guys! They’re making the best trade deals in the history of trade deals!
