0:00.0 | Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Bell again. |
0:05.1 | So today, we're going to talk about Trump's UK trade deal and how he plays the media. |
0:12.9 | President Trump announced a major trade deal, but before he announced it, he teased it the night before. |
0:20.0 | The media did what he expected them to. They |
0:23.4 | talked it up throughout the night and then took the announcement at face value, giving Trump |
