A handful of traders made nearly $100 million buying Melania Trump's meme coin, MelaniaCoin, just before its launch. They then quickly offloaded their positions, with 81% of their sales occurring within the first 12 hours. Okay, well, we'll start with this UK trade deal that Trump announced. It was kind of a lot of pomp and circumstance around this.
And then the trade deal came out and they had this press conference that Keir Starmer was featured on. And my sense is they haven't really ironed anything out. I mean, from what I understand, from what I gather, we're going to reduce the auto tariffs on the UK from 25% to 10%. The standard 10% tariff that we have in all these other nations, that's going to remain in place.

But there are a lot of things that actually there was just disagreement on. I mean, for example, the UK... They thought that the US was going to drop these steel and aluminum tariffs to zero. And then the US came out and said, no, we're negotiating an alternative arrangement.

There was also confusion over this tax that the UK charges on social media companies and whether that was going to go away or not. And that's not ironed out either. There's also talk about expanding access to beef and having this reciprocal trade agreement on beef. All of these details that I was trying to just understand and be like, okay, what is the deal? What is the UK getting?

And what is America getting? I couldn't really glean much. And maybe that'll change over the next few days. Maybe they'll actually iron something out. But from everything I can understand about this quote unquote trade deal, this agreement, nothing's really been determined.

It almost seems like the art of the deal here. I mean, I keep on asking the question, like, what is the deal? What are we getting in return? We've gone through all of this ridiculous pain and confusion, putting these tariffs out. And I keep on trying to figure out, okay, when do we win? What is the win for America? And I was unable to find a win in the terms of the deal itself.

I mean, there's expanded access on beef, which is not even ironed out. It's not clear what the win is there. There was talk about the UK is going to buy $10 billion worth of Boeing planes. which you'd think, oh, maybe that's a good thing, but then you realize, actually, this is nothing new. The UK has been one of Boeing's largest European customers for years now, so nothing's changed there.
