The Schloss-Blog is watching the Trump administration come through with those 200 trade deals it says it has.
Sort of has.
Might have.
Heck, deal a day, right?
OK, three so far. Three.
And they're not even deals. They're deals to do deals.

While trade deals flounder, Trump can say whatever he wants to about the Texas floods and the warnings residents received beforehand.
But they didn't.
More than 100 are dead (129 estimated), many are children as Camp Mystic for girls along the Guadalupe River was swept away.
FEMA has been invisible and DHS Director Kristi Noem denies that the agency was caught shorthanded and redhanded when it failed to answer thousands of calls for help when the floods hit.
But they did.
The same way that the pandemic killed more than a million Americans as Trump dismissed the serousness of COVID's epidemic potential, so too did FEMA find itself not prepared when the floods hit.
People are dying, Donald. Do something.

Heard of Velvet Sundown?
One of the hottest bands out there right now. The band's new album has had a million monthly listens on Spotify.
The band is red hot. And doesn't exist.
The band is strictly an AI creation, right down to its profile pictures.
It doesn't exist.
How long before so much else with which you interact doesn't exist? Stick around...

A 100% American workforce will soon be manning the farm fields, picking the berries that come to market that U.S. citizens want.
Yeah, right.
Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins says ICE will continue raids against migrant farm workers, despite Trump saying they would be eased so farmers don't have their work forces sharply cut into.
She also says U.S. citizens will scoop up these jobs and create a 100% American workforce.
Uh, not they won't. No American wants these jobs that pay so little and have so few benefits.

Who is Trump treatening with tariffs as high as 35% and 50%, respectively, an all goods.
Why?
There is no reason for the Canada threat and the Brazil threat is in part because tts former president, Jair Bolsonaro, is being prosecuted.
Trump thinks that's not fair.
Boo hoo.
And Brazil says it will respond with reciprocal tariffs.
Take that, Donny.
