Scott Shellady: Yeah, because in the fall, we all know, November the 5th, it's going to be about affordability, right?
And this goes, I would think, a long way towards that affordability issue, right?
And I guess my question is, is that how is he strong-arming us?
How is he getting these folks to lean in with him to bring these prices down?
What's in it for them?

T.J. Wilson: Well, it's a good question.
I think folks forget that President Trump is the only president we've had in decades, to my knowledge, that started and ran large businesses, very successful large businesses.
And in a lot of ways, he leads from the front in that way.
And we see that with the way that he talks to these companies, with the ways that he holds them accountable, frankly, for when the macros are trending lower, which is what we're seeing.
And, you know, it's not acceptable to not pass those savings on to consumers.
And frankly, we've got a lot of patriotic companies that you've seen cut prices and pass those savings that are systemic along to consumers.
So, you know, I think he leads from the front.
I think he also, you know, provides a lot of certainty to folks.
We all know that that's the key piece of this, right?
Before prices get cut, there's got to be certainty that, you know, we're not going to get whiplash.
