Notable Quotes
“Trump literally. Yes, they keep, they keep pushing it off another couple days. Give it more time than that. Be like, all right, next year. After like the third time I said like in a week, I'd be like, okay, it's actually gonna be a year, you guys. It's actually... they're never gonna tell you. Just trust the plan. Just believe me. Just go there.”
