President Donald Trump is showing the art of the deal with the trade deals he's bringing home. He just brought in a big one with the European Union that even the liberal media had to acknowledge was huge.

On top of that, it's a great thing to finally have a Secretary of the Treasury in Scott Bessent who knows what he's doing and is helping get things done. He was a great pick. 

The tariff doom predicted by the media and the "experts" has not happened. Additionally, the U.S. is now bringing in record tariff revenue. They're taking in so much from the tariff revenue that they're talking about using it to pay down the debt and even considering a rebate. That's how much of an advancement they are over the Biden administration. 

They've already collected about $150 billion in tariff revenue for July, a record take — and we're not even done with July yet. 

The U.S. collected nearly $28 billion in customs duties in July, the highest monthly total so far this year, according to the Treasury Department’s "Customs and Certain Excise Taxes" data. The July figures, based on data through July 25, have already surpassed June’s monthly record of $27 billion.

You even had people like Bill Maher acknowledging that he was wrong about Trump on various issues, including on tariffs, with Trump then responding to his comments.

The next country on the "Let's make a deal" list is China, and Bessent was working on that in meetings. 

He was asked by a reporter, "You've been described as a global macro veteran, and you've run a hedge fund. In this moment, where would you put your money?" 

Bessent, with the mic drop: "United States of America."

You can't have a better, more patriotic (but true) answer than that. Investors should take note. You finally have people in charge who are helping to improve things for our country.

That's not just a brilliant quip from Bessent; it's the whole point of the tariff agenda. Not just to rebalance the relationships so that it's fair to America, to bring in revenue, or to push them to better terms in trade deals — although it certainly has done those things. But it's also to bring investment here to the U.S., to bring manufacturing back, to bring the jobs back. The companies that don't want to pay the tariffs will bring their companies here. That will bring in more taxes for the country from those companies, and more jobs for the American people. And that's going to supercharge the economy. 

Editor’s Note: Thanks to President Trump’s leadership and bold policies, America’s economy is back on track.
