Along with what Greg and Todd have mentioned this morning, what are people's thoughts on industries that Trump has specifically called out and might be affected by his tariff demands? For example, I was thinking about opening a position in Ford just for the dividend. I'm concerned though that they may take a hit since many vehicles are made in Mexico. I'm also concerned about my own employer, Cummins. We have a lot of engine plants in other parts of the world. We sell engines here that were made in India, China, and Japan. I don't like it when I see certain industries specifically targeted for legislative abuse.
