And so we have to pull apart why that is because, usually, like, a president gets blamed for for the economy that that he's presiding over, but it's usually not the president's fault. In this case, all of the almost all of the negative things happening to us from an economic perspective are direct policy decisions made by Donald Trump.”

These are people from the military, and the reason they're blowing a whistle is because they're panicked about our national security. That's a different kind of leaking, and the reporting that we're getting is extraordinary.
