    Default Trump Administration backs out of Trans Pacific Partnership

    http://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Tru...rawal-from-TPP

    The US backs out of talks for the TPP, which many considered would be harmful to the US economy, and was cheered on by Obama and Clinton.

    Since hrc and crapweasel liked the TPP you can count on TPP being good for them and their establishment buddies but not so good for Joe America.

    Every agreement that the crapweasel administration made needs to be pulled back and re-negotiated or abandoned because they weren't made with America's best interests in mind.

    The Trump administration is going to approach these agreements with an AMERICA FIRST mentality, not the "lets make America equal to the rest of the 3rd world shitholes" mentality.

    And Libs will claim that is racist.

    How any "American" could support leadership that didn't put the US first is beyond me. You can't claim you support democracy and elect leadership that puts globalist interests above their own people.

    If this keeps up I'm going to need a vacation. I'm too tired of winning.

    Tired of wining??????????, you make me laugh.

    The last president that put America first was Reagan, Bushes, clintons, obama were all globalists seeking only to enrich their buddies on Wall Street, in the U.N., in Brussels, The Sauds, and themselves of course.

    While in general, free trade agreements are a good thing for all involved, the TPP was basically 1/2 free trade and 1/2 "All other countries will obey US industry protections, especially Hollywood."

    Most of the citizens of the other countries hated it too, especially how it was so secretive while being written. Kinda like the international version of "pass it to see what's in it."

    I'll be honest. I never really put a lot of effort into learning about the TPP. Don't know if it's good or bad.

    I drank the free trade Kool-Aid for a long time and still think it makes the most sense philosophically but I think we failed to see some of the long-range inevitable consequences from NAFTA and the TPP always seemed more like an insider deal being written into official policy. I have yet to see a coherent explanation of why exactly the TPP is good for the US.
