What is he going to do when the other countries’ ambassadors and heads of state tell him to F off?
I have a draft memo that says I’m going to flap my arms and fly to the moon. Frankly I doubt very much your crack team is going to be able to figure out how to work the coffee machine the first day, so you might want to shut your idiot mouths about all the amazing things you’re going to do the first goddamn day before you embarrass yourselves further. I know, I’m a cockeyed optimist, it’s a known issue, as the help center people say.
Except all the Republicans in the House and Senate love TPP…
Ohio’s Gov Kasich is for it!
Kochs: Trump is a communist.
Not even sworn in and that person is already getting into a fight with pro-business Republicans in the House and Senate.
Popcorn?
“The Trump administration will reverse decades of conciliatory trade policy. New trade agreements will be negotiated that provide for the interests of US workers and companies first.”
When two parties negotiate an agreement there are issues, money, rights, some sort of benefit at stake for each. If two protagonists in a long term relationship always have things to resolve, yet one of the two always insists their interests are paramount, they must always be the beneficiary of the most favorable results, and the other party is to remain secondary at all times, what the hell are the chances that relationship will ever be harmonious? Who the hell wants to deal with someone that makes it known they are to prevail and accrue the most gain from any and all transactions, regardless the needs or stature of the other party?Hello, go for it, dude – watch the markets go crazy very quickly as they hate instability in trade policy. If you pick a fight like this right off the bat, you are practically handing our rivals economic ammunition. Mexico already has a pretty friendly relationship with China.
This nitwit will claim to do a lot on “day one.”
All of it a lie, a show for the rubes.
LOL, strategically released memos for the RUBES!.
there will be NO difference nor ANY attempts from trump to renegotiate…ANYTHING.
you can bet your azz…TPP WILL pass and all trade agreements sought from big business PASSED.
the only change will be in how the linked memos to the RUBES is worded over and over…to fool the jobless into thinking their lost job is on the way…
I though he was dismantling ACA on day one? My guess on day one he’s going to be tweeting pictures of himself sitting behind the desk in the Oval Office, possibly eating something with a knife and fork that most people would eat with their hands.
TPP is dead this is NAFTA. Killing off the first will do nothing for the American worker and planning on killing the second will hurt the American worker even more. Then again Trump was never going to help the American worker. So we will all have to suffer while the rust belt folks and working poor figure that out.
How long will it take until they do? Will they ever figure it out or just follow FOX’s lead and blame the imaginary boogie men of Democrats in power?
The White House will be a safe house where the KKK can relax and take their hoods off. Nirvana!
I’m sure the MSM will help them understand it’s all for their own good. USA! USA! USA!
Considering that the United States and Canada have a pre-existing trade agreement that was only supersceded by NAFTA and not revoked by it, getting out of NAFTA would be nothing more than “Fuck Mexico”-ism…
…and now you see why Trump wants to do it.
Going to be hard to do with no Democrats in power. As I have said to my few remaining conservative friends; This is all on you now. You can no longer blame the Democrats, the left, Liberals Progressives or whatever for what comes next.
The economic evolutionary forces in effect today will eventually bury vast swaths of the Rust Belt and other areas better suited to a graveyard than coexistence with the rest of the nation wanting to progress through this 21st century. How would it feel if the neighbors on both sides of you pissed and moaned ceaselessly about the closure of the local buggy whip factory? And wanted to bitch about how unfair it was the horse drawn carriage was a thing of the past? If your best attempts at ignoring them didn’t work wouldn’t you hope they’d just hurry up, get old, and die? Or you know, just STFU and go away?
They will get the nastiest meanest tweet you have ever seen
