ce and have that as your main residence before you can run for the Senate? Do you have to have just a mailing address there? Like what is the requirement for residency? I don't know, but it might happen. And they say if she ran she would win easily. I believe that.

Well, you know that Canada had said it was going to charge American tech companies with some kind of digital sales tax. And Trump said, "If you're going to do a digital sales tax on our companies, we're going to cancel our trade negotiations and just send you the bill." The bill would be here's what your tariffs are. We're done negotiating. And Canada said, "Well, maybe we'll drop that digital sales tax thing so we can negotiate." So that worked. Trump threatened them with some tariff badness and Canada said, "All right, wait, wait, hold on, hold on. All right, we'll put that on pause and we'll go back to the negotiating table." But Europe on the other hand still has one of these digital services taxes. So they have not dropped it yet, but they're still negotiating. But Trump says he's going to deal with Europe and all the countries that have not made deals yet, which is most of them, just by sending them tariff letters and telling them what they're going to pay. So on July 9th, the current extension of tariffs being held off until the negotiations were done, after July 9th Trump is going to say you can negotiate if you want. We're open to negotiating, but until then here's your bill for tariffs.

Apparently the NATO agreement for the NATO countries to spend more going from 2% of their GDP up to 5% over time might be one of the things that solves the trade negotiations between Europe and the US because one of the big issues for Trump was that there was a big trade imbalance. So they weren't buying enough of our stuff, but the NATO increase, a lot of that money will go to American arms. And so just on its own, it's going to do a lot of work to close that trade deficit. So the NATO stuff could have the weird effect of making the trade talks work better.

And let's see what else has happened. Trump is also mad at Japan because Japan's also got a big trade deficit with us. Meaning that we buy more of their stuff than they buy from us. And that could get fixed according to Reuters. Trump is suggesting that they buy more of our energy. Now, I don't know if there's any limitations to how much of our oil and gas they could buy, but that would be one way to fix it. And if not, I guess they'll just get a bill. So Trump will send the bill for the tariffs.

So there was a headline that Jake Tapper and CNN has conceded on the air that Trump has achieved, and this is his own words, Jake Tapper, what may be empirically the best week of his presidency so far. Now, isn't that an interesting way to remove credit from Trump? They're saying it might be the best week of his presidency. So the comparison is not leaders everywhere or presidents, you know, all the presidents we've ever had, which is what I think is the proper comparison. They're comparing him to himself so that you don't have to give him too much credit. It's like, well, you know, for his presidency that was a good week. So it was reported like Jake Tapper was finally giving him credit. Well, I don't think he did. I think he just said, you know, even Trump is going to have a good week compared to Trump. So it was sort of a compliment without the compliment.

Anyway, so Tapper mentioned the Supreme Court victories expanding his power, the Dow being at a high and the ceasefire between Israel and Iran and in Rwanda, the Congo Rwanda thing. So even Jake Tapper is seeing that Trump had a good week, although he should have compared him to other leaders, not to himself.

Senator Chris Murphy, who is becoming like the Grinch of the Democrats. He's one of these angry pundits. You can always get an angry comment out of him. He was asked if he gives Trump any credit for getting the border under control. Now if you were asked on camera in public, could you give Trump any credit for getting the border under control? How in the world could you spin that into something negative for Trump if you had to do it as like an assignment. I said it's not what you believe, but just as an assignment, could you come up with an argument that Trump has failed at the border? Well, I wouldn't be able to do it, but Chris Murphy, he says no, he's not going to give Trump credit for the border crossings being low because Trump administration is violating the law to get there. And the law that he says that's being violated is the law that allows people to apply for asylum. You know, I guess he was part of voting on that law. So I didn't know this, but it sounds like the Trump administration has done something, probably an executive order, I'm guessing, that says you cannot easily apply for asylum because that's the part that was being abused. Everybody was just saying, "Oh, asylum." And then you could get into the country and stay here f
