There should be a certain amount of fear that everybody has about that. But let's take a step back and really understand what we're dealing with and ask the question, should we really be worried? Think about this. Who are we afraid of? We're afraid of a 280 pound, 80-year-old man who's got boobs that go below his belt, and his belt is at his armpits.
This is who we're afraid of. We're afraid of a guy who, his own dad didn't want him as his first choice to run the business. His older brother was tapped to run the business and his older brother said, no. This is a guy whose mom thought he was a complete moron. This is a guy who was handed $400 million on a silver platter, and he blew it all away.
we're dealing with. This is [:This is who we're afraid of. This is a guy that has been under the thumb of a tin pot dictator in Russia for the better part of 40 years. He's loud, he's brash, he's all this sort of stuff, but do you really think someone that soft and that dumb could handle anything out in the real world if he wasn't insulated?
And we're worried about this guy. We're scared of this guy. And take it a step further. This is somebody who's got nothing going on upstairs and even less going on downstairs. You heard Stormy Daniels describe the Thumbtack that he's packing, and this is who we're afraid of. Let's understand who we're dealing with.
t moment where we need to be [:I can understand everybody being at least a little bit scared.
That makes sense. That's normal, but to be scared into a position of silence because an 80-year-old dude who crafts in a diaper can't string two sentences together and has a dead squirrel on his head. That's ridiculous. He's got nothing upstairs. He's got nothing downstairs. He can't handle a punch from an 8-year-old.
Understand who we're dealing with and let's not be afraid.
