  • It was just under a month ago, in July 2025,

  • that We Hear It Today Explained brought you an episode titled, I Was Told There Would Be Deals.

  • The gist of the thing was, Trump promised trade deals, but we weren't really getting them.

  • You know how it goes, taco, Trump always chickens out, etc. And Trump is calling that a deal,

  • but it's not really anything that looks like a free trade deal as everyone else understands it.

  • But to be fair, since we made that show,

  • the president of the United States has had a busy month out on the road.

  • I never had the privilege of going to his island.

  • Okay, so he never made it to the island,

  • but he did spend some time in Europe and he walked away with a deal.

  • He's actually got deals with some of our most important trade partners around the world.

  • And that's why today's show is titled The Deal with Trump's Deals.

  • We're going to take a look at what he's been up to.

  • He's bringing in revenue, but long term, is it going to be good for the United States?

  • Be careful if you suggest it won't be, though, because that might get you fired.

  • She's just a girl and she's fired.
