Trump tweeted: “THE ONLY REASON TO VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT IS IF YOU’RE TIRED OF WINNING!”

THE ONLY REASON TO VOTE FOR A REPUBLICAN IS IF YOU’RE TIRED OF THE RULE OF LAW.

What a fucking fool! The only thing that his trade policy has done is to (a) push up input prices for steel and aluminum, (b) which makes American goods more expensive than those which are imported AND © makes American products - now more expensive - noncompetitive with foreign goods.

And his NAFTA replacement does almost nothing for manufacturing, other than making it non-competitive to make small cars in North America. The net from the new NAFTA deal will be less automobile manufacturing in North America.

Guy is an intellectual midget whose ideas on trade pre-date the 1840s.

“Trump calls the new trade agreement USMCA, for U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. ‘Like YMCA or U.S. Marine Corps with an A at the end,’ he explained.”

Really - for chrissakes! This is likely the way Trump is routinely managed by his handlers with stupid childlike talking points seemingly right out of a Sesame Street jingle.

The NAFTA replacement does nothing but move things around a bit a the margins.

The biggest pieces are probably IP rights, which were never really an issue in Canada or Mexico, but were only not in NAFTA because similar IP issues didn’t exist when it was negotiated, and Canada allowing more dairy imports, which frankly is something they were going to relent on at some point or the other anyways, but really isn’t a huge deal.

It’s essentially NAFTA with a few numbers tweaked. The biggest change is probably the name.

I would so much like it if someone had talked him into calling it “CAMUS” and not let him know there was such a person. Even though he would always mispronounce it, he would still be pointing to signs with the philosopher’s name on it and not knowing why people looked quizzically at him when asking why he selected that name.

Please please TPM, get this story straight. This is just TPP with Asia lopped off. The provisions the Dotard is making so much of were negotiated by Obama during TPP, which was to be an updated NAFTA that would include other countries.

Hey, once he implements Kanye West’s suggestion to “abolish the 13th Amendment”, he can start importing slaves again. And if those pesky Africans behave, he won’t even slap tariffs on them!

“He said he doesn’t want to use the previous name, NAFTA, the North
American Free Trade Agreement, which he contends cost American jobs”

The Reader should note that we, being AP, must not and will not provided statistics or facts that can be used to compare the statement with the manufacturing jobs under previous administrations. If any journalistic material was used to enlighten the Reader in this article, we apologize and will correct the oversight in future articles.

“We are finally rebuilding our country, and we are doing it with American aluminum, American steel and with our great electrical contractors,” [President Trump] said.

“And I’m putting Mike Pence in charge of overseeing this manufacturing renaissance, in order to make sure that it’s all done properly.”

I bet the dumb fucker loved YMCA at Studio 54 and had to dance it absolutely every single time.

Rennaisance? Who wrote that for him? That’s Junior High School vocabulary.

he doesn’t want to use the previous name, NAFTA

Best snark I’ve seen, replying to the Toadglans tweet “Late last night, our deadline, we reached a wonderful new Trade Deal with Canada, to be added into the deal already reached with Mexico. The new name will be The United States Mexico Canada Agreement, or USMCA.”
