We Told You So: While Critics Mocked Trump’s Scotland Trip, He Secured a Game-Changing Trade Deal With the EU

Well, well, well… looks like the media got it wrong again.

Trump Golf Course Scotland Turnberry, While the usual talking heads were breathlessly spinning President Donald Trump’s weekend trip to Scotland as a luxury golf vacation and accusing him of “running away from tough situations in Washington,” Trump was quietly working on something far bigger—a historic trade deal with the European Union.

Yes, while the so-called experts mocked him for golfing, Trump was closing a deal that rebalances global trade, strengthens America’s energy dominance, and takes money straight out of Vladimir Putin’s pocket.

The Deal the Media Didn’t See Coming

After meeting with European Union President Ursula Von Der Leyen, Trump announced an agreement that’s nothing short of transformational:

✅ $750 billion worth of U.S. energy purchases by the EU, cutting their dependence on Russian energy.
✅ $600 billion in new European investments into the U.S. economy.
✅ Zero tariffs on most U.S.-EU trade moving forward.
✅ A 15% flat tariff on automobiles and other goods, leveling the playing field.
✅ “Hundreds of billions” in European purchases of U.S. military equipment.

So while the media painted a picture of Trump sipping Scotch and teeing off, he was actually delivering one of the biggest U.S.-EU trade deals in decades—one that will boost American jobs, secure our energy markets, and reshape transatlantic trade.

The EU’s Own Words: “A Huge Deal”

Even Von Der Leyen couldn’t deny the magnitude of the deal. In her own words:

“We have a trade deal between the two largest economies in the world, and it’s a big deal. It’s a huge deal. It will bring stability, predictability… basically the European market is open. It’s 450 million people. So, it’s a good deal. It’s a huge deal with tough negotiations.”

Tough negotiations indeed—exactly what Trump has been known for.

So Much for the “Golf Vacation” Narrative

Remember the media’s narrative? Trump was supposedly hiding in Scotland, avoiding the press, and wasting taxpayer dollars on golf. Reality? He was in high-level talks with one of the world’s most powerful leaders, closing a deal that weakens Russia, strengthens America, and benefits millions on both sides of the Atlantic.

As Trump said after the meeting:

“I think it’s good that we made a deal today instead of playing games and maybe not making a deal at all.”

Exactly. While others play games, Trump makes deals.

Why This Matters

This agreement doesn’t just mean billions flowing into the U.S. economy. It:

• Reduces European reliance on Russian energy, a massive geopolitical win.

• Expands the market for U.S. military and manufacturing industries.

• Levels the tariff playing field, ensuring fairer trade for American workers.

• Builds stability between the world’s two largest economies.

And it all goes into effect August 1.

Once Again, the Critics Were Wrong

The media wanted another “Trump golfing scandal.” Instead, they got Trump the dealmaker—the same man who promised to put America first and just delivered a massive trade victory without fanfare.

So the next time you hear the media spinning stories about “Trump hiding on vacation,” remember this weekend. Remember that while they mocked, he delivered.
