G-7 summit: Trump strikes 'billion-dollar' trade deal with Japan

You should figure out what it is, and what it does and the provisions it provides and the latitude established within its framework, and the opportunity it creates ... which it is evident that none of which you know anything about. If you did know anything about such variables, it is extremely likely that you would have chosen to remain silent, rather than push a comment that signifies the depth of lack of knowledge as to what the TPP is, and what it entails.

Instead of crowing, prove I have no knowledge of TPP.

What we do know is that ....
Hillary opposed TPP

“But based on what I know so far, I can’t support this agreement,” she wrote. “The bar here is very high and, based on what I have seen, I don’t believe this agreement has met it.”

I can't read that link. I'll just answer the quote you provided. That's what she had to say in order to try to placate Bernie supporters and other progressives.

Earlier she had called the TPP "the gold standard" so to try to win over Bernie's share of the voters she backtracked on that.

Of course I cannot know what she would have done at any specific point in the future, but I know who Hillary was, and am thus confident that she would have changed a little and then said that the agreement then met the high bar.

She would not have torpedoed something which she called the gold standard and only changed her tune about when she was trying to win over votes against a surprisingly competitive primary opponent. She was a moderate and would have done something moderate to it and called it a fix. That's who she was.

You're making excuses for your faulty hypothesis I already refuted.

Better luck next time...

Free trade agreements have off shored millions of jobs to other countries with us getting little in return.
the TPP as a horrible deal that would have off shored more jobs.

we need trade deals that not just ship jobs overseas but return jobs back to the US.
 
So, basically, Trump undoes what Obama did and then does what Obama did and it's a win?

Wow.

Astounding.

They don't have to. The TPP was doomed to fail because it left too many Americans behind....
Left wing media won't tell those details and truths to their listeners, not that they care.

Exactly what about it left Americans behind? What details and truths did the left wing media leave out. If you actually know what you're talking about, tell us what it is and provide credible sources for your information.

Hillary Clinton was against TPP (before she supported it). Bernie Sanders the runner up as the Democrat nominee also was against it.

The only Democrats supporting TPP were Obama/Biden trying to pass through accomplishments in a mediocre 8-year administration lacking signature wins.

More #winning for our country! On top of the Japanese deal and China now willing to come to the table for more trade talks, President Trump has made huge trade deals with Germany and GB.

The White House@WhiteHouse
"We have excess corn in various parts of our country with our farmers because China did not do what they said they were going to do. And Prime Minister @AbeShinzo, on behalf of Japan, they're going to be buying all of that corn." — President

From what I have read, the trade deal between Japan and the U.S. sounds pretty promising. So does the deal with Mexico and Canada. The final version will go to the House on Sept 1 on a fast track vote. It has a lot of good stuff in it that will be very helpful to our manufacturing sector and farmers. But here's what could be a looming problem. In the past when Pelosi was the speaker in 2007during the Bush administration, Bush's team negotiated a trade deal with Columbia. It went to the House on a fast track and Pelosi suspended the fast track rules and the trade bill sat in limbo for 5 years until Obama was elected and his team renegotiated it. So no matter how many good deals Trump is successful in negotiating, Pelosi could turn around and do the same thing. If she does, I believe it will be to her detriment.

You quoted her late opposition to the TPP. You left out the very important context of her once having called it the gold standard, and the conditions in which she decided she needed to criticize the TPP.

All she said against the TPP at that time was that it fell short. That was a mealy-mouthed criticism of something she had once had high praise for.


Did you criticize the person who said she would have torpedoed it? Did you tell them they couldn't know she would have done that after once having called it the gold standard?

Yeah, I thought so.



Go back to shilling for Trump and pretending that THIS time he'll do something better than all his previous ****-ups. You don't seem to be realistic about Trump or Clinton.

So now you've moved the goal posts from You don't know to IF you are interested to ensure you know.
Thanks for admitting you can't prove what YOU don't know...:lamo

I accept your concessions.
 
As soon as Trump said America will pull out of China, the Chicoms came rushing back. This is a big win for Trump and the rest of the US. Stocks are going back up as a result, and the US will be able to not only save money but also make it (and a substantial amount). Now, the Left will come up with some lame @$$ reason why this is happening and go back to calling Trump, his supporters, and anyone else who doesn't agree with them racists, sexists, homophobes, transphobes, xenophobes, and Islamaphobes (and whatever else they call us), but it shows how petty and and childish they really are. Let them live in their recession. Let live in their miserable world. Let them live in a fictional world where it's all doom and gloom. We offered to let them live in something great, but they refuse to accept it and they attack us, verbally and physically, over it. We need to keep moving forward and let anyone who doesn't want to join us behind.

Heck, that's not new info.... there is no place on the Planet that Conservatives are not worried sick, because their worry is always based within their anguish that they can't dictate over and control everything and everyone.

What makes you think they are conservatives? Clearly you don't think very well.

No you don't, but you did pass judgment upon them.

if you claim they are not conservative, why even respond... I told you already, I don't care if they are conservative or if they are not conservative.

My statement still stand as : "there is no place on the Planet that Conservatives are not worried sick, because their worry is always based within their anguish that they can't dictate over and control everything and everyone."
