CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JULY 29, 2025
AFTER ARRIVING IN SCOTLAND, PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID THERE WAS ONLY A 50-50 CHANCE OF REACHING A TARIFF DEAL WITH THE EUROPEAN UNION. BUT IN JUST A DAY, A DEAL WAS REACHED. EUROPEANS HAVE AGREED TO INVEST $1.35 TRILLION IN THE UNITED STATES AND ACCEPT 15 PERCENT RECIPROCAL TARIFFS. THE PRESIDENT CALLED IT “THE BIGGEST DEAL EVER MADE.”
PREDICTABLY, THE NEW YORK TIMES PLAYED DOWN THE DEAL, CLAIMING IT WOULD MAKE NO DIFFERENCE. THE WASHINGTON POST TOOK A ‘HO-HUM” APPROACH, BUT THE WALL STREET JOURNAL CORRECTLY NOTED THE POSITIVE REACTION OF U.S. AND OTHER MARKETS AROUND THE WORLD.
TRUMP ALSO BROKERED A PEACE DEAL BETWEEN CAMBODIA AND THAILAND. THIS AFTER A SETTLEMENT IN THE WAR BETWEEN CONGO AND RWANDA. TIRED OF WINNING YET?
MEANWHILE, THE MEDIA AND DEMOCRATS, WHO REFUSE TO GIVE TRUMP THE SLIGHTEST CREDIT FOR ANYTHING, PREFER TO WALLOW IN THE MUD OF JEFFREY EPSTEIN. THEY WOULD LIKE TO PROVE TRUMP ENGAGED IN ILLEGAL ACTIVITY ON EPSTEIN’S ISLAND. BILL CLINTON? NOT SO MUCH.
THAT’S THE WAY THE LEFT PLAYS THE GAME. TRUMP NEEDS TO CONTINUE TO ACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE AND NOT HELP THE LEFT WITH THEIR ATTEMPTS TO DISTRACT FROM THE GOOD HE IS DOING. I’M CAL THOMAS.
