What heās saying heās doing and what his negotiators are actually doing appear to be two different things: https://twitter.com/ddale8/status/1034102901025792000
And the more formal article using information from that Twitter thread: https://www.thestar.com/news/world/2018/08/10/us-and-mexico-make-nafta-breakthrough-increasing-chances-of-final-deal.html
Why would any country negotiate with the Dotard?
He has shown that he doesnāt honor international agreements (Iran deal, climate change treaty) or any agreements for that matter (see Melania, marriage, and every business deal he has ever made).
He is not even halfway through his term and he is drowning in scandal. He has no authority and may not make it to 2020. Better to sit tight, cut your losses, and wait for the next president.
The difference between Trump.and the other leaders is Trump doesnāt care who he hurts. Yet we havenāt seen a treaty.
Is there some new Presidential power of which I am unaware? The ability to abrogate ratified treaties on a whim? He is so clearly unfit for the office he now holdsā¦er, pollutes. If only there were some Constitutional remedy we could exerciseā¦hey, I can dream, canāt I?
Given his Congress?
Any bets on how soon this bigly deal implodes, like all the rest?
Iām saying by Friday, at the latestā¦
NAFTA isnāt a treaty. But that doesnāt make much difference, because it is a law: passed by both houses of Congress and signed by the President (Clinton). Trump canāt āterminateā it without running afoul of the ātake careā clause. NAFTA isnāt an executive agreement like the Iran deal and Trump canāt just pull out of it like he did with the Iran deal.
It will be a gleeful jubilee when this asshole is terminated from the POTUS agreement.
Canada and Mexico should negotiate their own treaty and safety FU to Trump.
As always . . .
Trump makes this shit up as he goes along. Besides, NAFTA is a Senate ratified treaty, and while it is unclear whether he can unilaterally revoke or revise a treaty is sure to raise serious objection and a long court battle.
Are you assuming trump gives a shit what the law says? By all i have been able to glean he cares not what the Constitution says or what his actual responsibilities are. Over his career laws are things to be ignored if inconvenient. Why should it be different now? Especially with a Congress that does not care what he does.
According to the Constitution treaties are part ofbthe supreme law of the land. To this day trump behaves as if Article 6 paragraph 2 does not exist or apply to him.
Trump Says Heās āTerminatingā NAFTA, Negotiating With Canadaā¦
Geezā¦The shenanigans of this Orange Doofus should be obvious to everyone-
Making a lot of noise about changing NAFTA, when in actual fact,(Heās NOT) the Stable Genius(dumbazz) is too dense to understand the trilateral dimensions and reaches of the agreement.
The Stable Genius(dumbazz) cannot impede trading between Canada and Mexico by curtailing the mammoth trucking through the USA, to facilitate that portion of the trilateral agreement.
But guess what!..Look underneath and youāll see Jared Kushnerās in charge!
ā¦and bet your bottom dollar, that the giant sucking sound youāre hearing?
Mafiaso-type tariff side-cuts for both families
plus, slimy pick-pocketing thatāl make a murdering, Russian Oligarch blush!!
Would you, perhaps, take a pledge to get rip roaring drunk as soon as you hear the news that this has occurred?
No pledge necessaryā¦weāll be dancing in the streets with millions of others
