Pretty smart until we come up with a pact where we gain something instead of giving it away all the time.

So far he is demonstrating that he works for us - not for them! Maybe he does need a little more polish from time to time? Perhaps he will achieve that over the next four years?

NAFTA is a tool for big business to outsource and depress US worker pay and job security. It works great for the elite.

I am just hoping that, by the time Trump leaves office, I can find a piece of meat in the supermarket that says: Made in the USA!

NAFTA has been a net positive. People are just too damn dumb to know it.
