So with the new Senate rules can they approve any deals without a super majority?

No. The 2/3 approval for treaties is a Constitutional imperative, not a Senate rule.

I’m sure it will be a factor though in this deal, and probably gun control.

LOL. Like the Constitution has ever been a consideration with the Clown. That is a good one.

Although if they call it an agreement rather than a treaty it can pass with majority vote (NAFTA).
