Were you surprised? | |
I think he's turned out to be a great president. | |
Did this surprise you? | |
I admit it surprised me. | |
It did not, and I have believed in this president from the moment he announced that he was running. | |
It's because the country needed a disruptor, and he was that. | |
And maybe it's because I've spent a lot of time worrying about the political economy. | |
Not just the economy or politics, but the political economy. | |
And I'm enamored by people who are innovative and who can break through orthodoxies and actually have a sense of timing to know when it is most propitious to do so. | |
This president wanted expressed, and by the way, when I said to you that I thought he would be a great president, I didn't know he would be this great, but I knew he would be great because of his independence, his pragmatism, and his ability to get things done. | |
He was a builder. | |
The country needs a builder. | |
A builder is by definition optimistic. | |
A builder, by definition, does not want to be fettered by unnecessary regulation or nonsense. | |
And a builder, by definition, also, is someone who likes people and must work with people of all walks of life. | |
Yes, indeed. | |
Lou Dobbs, I have two more questions for you, if you could stay on. | |
And one is good. | |
I ask everyone this to explain the hatred, so I'd love you to do so. | |
By the way, I have a question. | |
Is today your birthday? | |
It is my birthday. | |
Thank you for noticing. | |
Well, thank you. |
