I saw Donald Lu show up here once
Can we get Mike Pompeo to be US Ambassador to Sri Lanka?
Julie is okayish
But she's
I mean, she is a little bit
She's too much of a diplomat?
And Trump
He's not a traditional politician
And I'm not a politician
Nobody would consider me a politician
It's just Julie; she might give all the right answers on a diplomat's test
And so would Nikki Haley on a political test — all correct
Chris Christie criticized Vivek's ChatGPT answers; Trump described him as not genuine
But this focus on political correctness
I don't think that will be accepted
It was rejected twice — first Nikki, then Kamala, by many
And there's a reason why
There's one reason or several why you're here
And
I can't think of a better one or two reasons
Than to have Mike Pompeo here
We can't storm the beaches of Normandy with Julie Chung
We can't conduct an Operation Desert Storm
I feel Obama's team withdrew from Afghanistan and Iraq
They tend to avoid confronting danger directly
I don't believe they would take the same kinds of extreme risks in crisis situations like the Twin Towers attack
I feel Bush made sure 9/11 tier attacks couldn't happen again; as much as Obama won on proving that Iraq invasion was a "mistake"
The future will likely judge Bush as the hero in history
I don't expect the same level of warm recognition towards Obama as for the residents of Flint
They wouldn't be the ones standing on rubble with a loudspeaker
And promise
We will win
Because I don't see them as the kind to secure American interests
How can they — if they're █████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
They're people who have lost, are losing, or may lose those interests
There are many ways to lose, to concede, or to rationalize a setback
I don't want that
We want someone who can win
████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
We're having two billionaires here
Why should we have to rely on Julie Chung for this sort of undertaking?
This is bigger than Nippon Steel
This is bigger than anything else
Bigger than anything else there ever was
Except Mike Pompeo, because he was a very prominent figure
