In the past Donald Trump has said "NAFTA was one of the WORST Trade Deals ever made." And now it seems republicans are celebrating Trump keeping the NAFTA deal. Trump Twitter Archive
And Trumps Canada trade war has caused the Canada and America relationship that was once the most reliable alliance in the world to become volatile, and Trump's threats to cripple Canada's economy have created a cultural division between Canada and America.
So far Trumps trade actions with Canada have increased food prices, threatened major job losses, threatened economic recessions, put NORAD in danger, caused a surplus of uranium, created tensions when Trump labeled Canada a national security threat, caused abuses in rights at the US/Canada border, and put NATO in danger. https://www.mtlblog.com/news/11-deva...ar-with-canada
And because of Trump Canada joined a new Asia-Pacific trade agreement that America was not part of. And because of this deal America lost doing business with over 500 million international customers. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-t...-idUSKCN1GK0JM
Personally I don't see how Trumps new NAFTA deal will offset all of the problems he created above. How could Trumps new NAFTA deal make up for Trump caused US/Canada divisions and America loosing 500 million international trading customers?
In essence President Trump said to China, "You have been putting large tariffs on cars etc. from our country for years while our tariffs on yours were much lower. We want it stopped. So we are going to increase our tariffs to levels similar to yours, or worse. And then we will suggest that BOTH our countries lower or get rid of them. What do you say?"
China wouldn't have lowered their tariffs on American goods, unless we forced them by raising our tariffs. So we did raise ours. And China said, "Well, OK, I guess you're serious, we'll lower ours now." Look forward to his lowering our tariffs on Chinese goods now, specially the ones he recently raised.
In other words, Trump's policy worked, where Obama's never did.
And leftists (in and out of the media, and in both parties) who said President Trump was wrong, stupid, callous, etc. etc. have been proven flat wrong again.
The border wall and deporting as many illegals as possible will improve things alone. All Trump's work.
At the very least, we are no longer rolling out the carpet and holding the door open for the invaders. Wages are rising, as are liberal's collective rage and disgust. Pretty soon, there will be so many jobs needing to be filled that liberal mothers around the nation will demand they leave their basements and go work in a factory or something. Get to it bums! The free ride is over!
Trumps immigration policies threaten the very backbone of Americas technological advancement.
Immigrants start 24% of America's new high tech companies, immigrants file over 60% of Americas high tech patents, and immigrants founded 20% of America's Inc. 500 companies. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.a5dc238f4c65
"44% of U.S. engineering and technology startup companies based in Silicon Valley were founded by immigrants."
"More than 40% of the international patent applications filed by the U.S. government had foreign-national authors." Why Trump
And because of Trump's policies and actions the immigrants that make America the worlds most technologically advanced country are now going to other countries.
In the past when someone in India or Africa thought of a new high tech product it was America where they came to file their patents and start their business. But because of Trumps policies these people no longer dream of coming to America to start their new business (now they dream of going to Canada or Europe.)
Its not Americans leaving their basements to go work in a factory making a shirt that makes America so technologically advanced, rather its foreigners coming to America and filing their patents and starting their new high tech businesses in America (and Trumps policies are making those foreign inventors go to other countries instead, and its already begun.)
Immigrants file over 60% of Americas high tech patents, and republicans would have all of them go to other countries just so they can talk about building a unneeded border wall and say "MAGA." https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.7fad4d843d35
Could a left wing psychopath please explain exactly what it is that they want?
How about a right wing psychopath please explaining exactly what it is they want?
When Trump ran for election touting raising tariffs and ranting against globalism, they shouted MAGA!
Now we hear news of China reducing tariffs, and they're shouting MAGA!
Next we hear news that a new trade agreement with Canada and Mexico is in the works, and they shout MAGA!
But wait - we were told by the Trumplings that globalism is evil! Now that Trump is doing all these pro-globalism things, they're shouting MAGA anyway! At this rate, Trump will re-enter the TPP and they'll shout MAGA to that as well.
On NPR today they kept referring to the tariffs on trade as a TRUMPS' TARIFF WAR! and they spelled out all kinds of doom and gloom.
Why can't they just call it what it is a Tariff Balancing?
My friend once gave me a book that was called the Selfish Gene. The basic premise of it is that people do whatever things that are necessary to ensure their genetic survival. Most every behavior you see is for that reason. Once people realize that EVERYTHING the Democrats do is about getting power back, everything becomes so much more clear. Yes, maybe they do actually hate Trump. But his policies are successful so they have to do anything they can to ensure their survival. Given the number of elections they have lost since 2012, you can see why they are desperate.

You need to read up on what globalism actually is.
