Trump's July 25th "50/50 chance" of EU deal wasn't warning—it was PR groundwork for today's vaporware announcement. Admin's tariff roulette (30% threat by 8/1/25) already forced $100B in EU countermeasures starting 8/7/25. Markets now pricing in Schrödinger's trade war.

The same admin that imposed tariffs on penguin islands claims "historic" $1.35T deal while offering zero implementation timelines. Japan deal's XX% tariff-for-$550B scheme shows pattern: foreign cash for temporary duty relief. EU "investment" likely means repackaged private sector plans already underway pre-Trump.

This isn't statecraft—it's a protectionist shell game where Americans pay the inflation tax.
