He actually hit the ground run. He was he was pretty much prepared I spent a few weeks down at Mar-a-Lago because I was recovering from a surgery in Palm Beach and When I was there it was about a month before the inauguration, you know a month after he'd been elected and I saw huge people in that room Having dinner figuring out how to run the country and I was actually very impressed by it
