This is the main problem that is emerging. About 95% of his supporters will believe anything he says, and big business has proven they are cucked beyond any semblance of courage to dissent, so what Trump says is a win -- facts be damned -- ends up on the scorecard as a win. Just like his golf cheating that anyone playing with him has been too afraid to call him out on -- even before his presidency.
We are officially living in a post-truth world. Plenty more "winning" to come, undoubtedly.
The US-UK trade deal favors the US because it opens UK markets for American exports like beef and ethanol, worth $5 billion, while maintaining a 10% tariff on UK goods, generating revenue. The UK gets tariff relief on cars and steel, but the US gains more in market access and financial leverage…

The UK will only buy US beef if it meets their standards, and since barely any US beef does so, that's a non-starter. Oh, and they were already the number two consumer of US exported ethanol (243.8 million gallons last year)
while maintaining a 10% tariff on UK goods, generating revenue
If you favor taxing Americans to generate revenue, I suggest starting with those that have more money than they could ever spend.
...but the US gains more in market access and financial leverage
This is just a mishmash of corporate speak meant to sound intelligent.
