I completely agree.

America has been sold out, by a lot of people. China is now the world’s largest exporter / producer. And the trend continues to go toward China, which doesn’t even allow Americans full ownership, and discriminates in matters of immigration.

Trump is announcing (something) at 11:00 this morning. It sounds like he’s going to announce his candidacy for the presidency, and at the moment he is the only person out there, who seems to get this issue.

I don't mind doing your research for you but if you want further details, you'll have to do your own work.

The fast track negotiating authority for trade agreements is the authority of the President of the United States to negotiate international agreements that Congress can approve or disapprove but cannot amend or filibuster. Also called trade promotion authority (TPA) since 2002, fast track negotiating authority is a temporary and controversial power granted to the President by Congress. The authority was in effect from 1975 to 1994, pursuant to the Trade Act of 1974, and from 2002 to 2007 by the Trade Act of 2002. Although it expired for new agreements on July 1, 2007, it continued to apply to agreements already under negotiation until they were eventually passed into law in 2011. In 2012, the Obama administration began seeking renewal of the authority.
