So let me get this straight…
Greenland signs a minerals deal with the EU.
2 days later, Trump hits the EU with a 50% tariff.
What happened to 90 deals in 90 days?
Call it coincidence—I call it economic pressure with a geopolitical tantrum.

Hey Chris,
Could you do a video on how the Social Security tax cap benefits the wealthy? Most workers pay the full percentage all year, but income over $168,600 isn’t taxed. If the wealthy paid the same rate on all income, we could fund SS for decades.
Thanks
