I would say, well, I'm for Trump in this area, but I'm against in these different areas. But people didn't want nuance. They want, are you for or against him?

No. One, it's not believable given the degree to which the Trump administration last go round, over which I overlapped a couple of years, incessantly talked about the market and what it was doing next.
