Welcome to the show.

Great to see you on this Thursday.

We are very quickly coming up against the limits of the meaning of words.

And I'm going to explain what I mean by that.

If I said to you, I am making trade deals, do you envision that

there is more than one party to the deal? I think for the most part, with average to better

English language skills, you understand a deal to be something that has at least two parties.

I can't go to a car dealership and say, I will not be paying any more than 15 grand for

this car and call that a deal.

A deal means that we have agreed to the terms.

I am willing to pay for the vehicle, some amount at which

you are willing to sell me the vehicle. And if I just start sending dealerships letters, we can't

say that those are deals. And Peter Navarro, long time Trump suck up, one time economic advisor, one time prison inmate,

total sycophant is acknowledging these aren't exactly deals by his definition.

Now, he doesn't say that.

He still tries to defend Donald Trump, but here he is this

morning on Fox business speaking to Maria Bardo. And this is a total blindside to Donald Trump when his

own guy is saying, well, it's not exactly what we called it. It's the economic narrative collapsing

as soon as someone opens their mouth. So

here's Maria Bartaromo. It's a very basic question. It's a tractable and measurable question.

How many more trade deals do you expect in the coming month? Put aside for a moment that 90 deals

and 90 day deadline has already come and gone.
