Hard to find myself in agreement with Trump. But given his obsession with renaming stuff, this seems like a sensible one.

Not knowing much about Scientific Reports, I thought of it at least as a reputable subjournal. Its shocking to see what they publish and shocking that Nature and its subjournals engage in such funneling.

I received a desk rejection from Nature Human Behavior with the following suggestion:

Staffer: I guess kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities and associated products.

Watch CNBC's full interview with President Donald Trump President Donald Trump joins 'Squawk Box' via phone to discuss the latest news affecting markets and the country's economic goals.

He even calls the 600b from the EU a "gift" later in the longer version of the interview (around 15:50).

That's an interesting interpretation of the "investment promises". Will be interesting what happens if he actually demands the payment of the "signing bonus".

Certainly, the "trade deals" are not done and I guess they will continue to dominate the debate for quite some time going forward...

President Trump: Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent 'does not want' to be Fed chair, but 4 others in running President Donald Trump joins 'Squawk Box' via phone to discuss who will lead the Federal Reserve next, the idea of dividends around tariff policy, and much more.

So Trump is saying that the investment promises within the trade "deals" are "like a signing bonus in baseball", and that its "our money to invest as we like". (starting around 2:45).

Specifically mentions 550b from Japan and 650b from the EU that are his to spend.
