00:00But talking of the 100 days, President Trump celebrated it as the most successful 100 days

00:06in history. Whereas, of course, the polls have shown something very different, and he's had

00:11record low approval ratings. Even Fox News reported widespread disapproval of his economic

00:16policies. Who should we believe? Well, one has to understand, President Trump is not a

00:22conventional politician. So people who follow President Trump, and I'm one of them that did

00:28since the 1980s, has been an individual that is always promoting himself and his agenda.

00:36And I mean that in the good sense of the word. So this is an individual that looks at polls

00:40and the rest of it. When you hear President Trump, it's always going to be the greatest

00:44thing that's ever happened. It's going to be the greatest thing. I know we'll talk about

00:47tariffs and other issues. It's going to be fantastic. So it's just his style. And that,

00:52of course, has been the pluses and minuses. And I'm not ducking the question here. The

00:56pluses and minuses of the American people, they feel it's refreshing to have someone speak

01:00candidly, sometimes in a very brash way. But by the same token, those individuals, when

01:07they try to put those things in the traditional paradigm, it doesn't seem to fit. And what

01:13I mean by all of those words is, depends, this 100 days might indeed be the greatest 100 days

01:21of many of these policies, ultimately, whether they be the immigration, the economic policies,

01:26the tariffs, if they actually bear fruit in the longer term, people will look back at these

01:31100 days as when things were set in motion and they needed to be set in motion.
