Thank you for responding. I was curious because you said something has to be done, and now less of that something is being done.

I was wondering if this latest development by Trump was a source of anger, confusion or sign of weakness, but obviously not.

What % of Trump's actions do you think are being driven by behind the scenes people like Musk and Thiel? Same question relating to JD Vance?
