And I remember after 34 felony convictions, he turned around, shook my hand, we walked out together, we hopped in the car, and we were actually going to a fundraiser.
We were in court by day.
We were fundraising by night.
We were, you know, campaigning by night.
And I remember as soon as we got in the car, he looked at me.
He goes, I don't know how, but we're going to win.
I don't know how, but we're going to win.
And he wasn't just talking about the court case, which we had overturned.
We won it.
But the overall election, right?
I mean, you had every press member in the back of those courtrooms and they were giving him a 0% chance.
And, you know, it's funny.
And in his early life, he wrote, you know, The Art of the Deal.
Then his second book was The Art of the Comeback, you know, talking about obviously his business career in the 90s when everybody thought he was down and out.
And it's like the perfect parallel, right?
I mean, this was the art.
It was the art of the comeback.
No one would ever have thought a guy who was just charged with 91 felony convictions for doing nothing wrong, but because you had a system that was totally weaponized against you, could ultimately become president.
And not only did he become president, won every swing state, right?
He won the popular vote.
Every state in the nation went to the right, meaning, you know, attacked to the right in terms of voting.
We picked up places that we had never, I mean, we picked up 11 counties in California that had never been Republican before that went Republican.
Miami-Dade, which hasn't been won in 37 years, we won by 11%.
I mean, it wasn't like a baby victory.
It was like the greatest, you know, I would use a different word, but because we're on TV, greatest butt kicking in the history of the world.
And, you know, you want to talk about the art of the comeback.
