Do you understand how TPP works? It doesn't sound like you do.
You don't see the irony in that statement do you?
Trump can contradict himself in the same sentence.
.
If you would like my thoughts on the TPP here they are:
Partner countries in the TPP will have agreements built on moving goods and products between them. Things such as commodities like minerals, lumber and food products. But also manufactured products like electronics or machinery.
The agreements are designed to allow a more free movement of these goods and avoid paying tariffs or taxes on them. Each country may have their own particular products that they have in abundance - for example agriculture in the US or minerals from Australia. Each country is suppose to benefit because they share their valuable assets with countries who have other valuable assets in return.
The problem is that due to the lack of tariffs or taxes a multi-national corporation can decide where they want to base their business from. What we are finding, for example with NAFTA, is that many corporations will base their manufacturing where labor is cheapest (in NAFTAs case that is Mexico). So Americans who had previously been working in an auto plant are now out of a job because the plant was moved. But we still pay the same price for the car and the only winner is the corporation, i.e. the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
So, I'm no economics expert but I base my opinions and statements typically off of research and by educating myself. Something I know many people don't do.
Again, the TPP is an awful idea and Clinton keeps flip flopping while Trump is strongly against it. Therefore Trump has my vote.

With Hillary they know their strangle hold on the economy is secure and they'll continue to amass vast personal fortunes at the expense of the middle class and poor.
Have any examples of Buffet stiffing contractors, underpaying signed contracts for no cause other than wanting to, selling his name to projects and denying involvement when they tank, leaving people holding the empty bag of bankruptcy while he walks away with full pockets, all things Donny has a rich history of doing?
He got an early deal to Goldman Sachs during the 2009 debacle, why?

Stranglehold on blacks and Hispanics. The economy has almost zero growth in the last 7 years.
And what does that have to do with the merit of Buffett's criticism of Trump? Posting a Blaze article about tax issues of one of his many companies is merely a vane attempt at character assassination .

If that's character assassination than isn't bringing up Trump having 4 companies that went bankrupt character assassination?

What happens when American products are shut out of those markets because of tariffs?

It's the same with the Trump campaign - calling all billionaires. The only difference is that no one picks up the phone for Donald . . . . other than Sheldon Adelson.
