GOP frontrunner Donald Trump is hammering President Barack Obama, his administration and Congress for completely failing the American worker when it comes to trade policy—whacking the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade pact with 12 Pacific Rim nations that the Obama just finalized in Atlanta as a deal that jeopardizes U.S. jobs.
“The incompetence and dishonesty of the President, his administration and—perhaps most disturbing—the Congress of the United States are about to place American jobs and the very livelihoods of Americans at risk,” Trump tells Breitbart News in an exclusive statement reacting to the news that the president and his negotiators have wrapped the highly secretive they have been negotiating for the past several years on Monday morning.
“The only entities to benefit from this trade deal will be other countries, particularly China and Japan, and big corporations in America,” Trump tells Breitbart News.
The small business operators, farmers, manufacturers and others will again be burdened with unfair trade practices, currency manipulation, exploitation of cheap labor, an onerous tax code and no help coming from the very people charged with putting America first. If crony capitalism were not bad enough, then sticking it to unions, small businesses and everyday Americans seems to be the new blood sport inside the DC Beltway.
Trump said that the lack of transparency throughout the secret negotiations should prove that the deal is horrendous.
“If this was such a good deal, why was there not more transparency?” Trump said.

Yep the TPP is so great and that’s why they continue to hide it from the public because like Obamacare you have to pass it to find out what is in it.
Wow, where did this guy come from?!
Jeb and Marco support TPP.
He’s our only hope. Cruz already sold us out on this.
Oh so you like the TPP because the public is not allowed to see it?
TRUMP’S A KOOK! TRUMP’S OFF HIS MEDS! < /nickcarraway >
Good picture, but I can’t tell if that’s Trump or Tool Tme Tim
Outstanding article. Well worth the entire read. Thanks for posting it.
Once again The Donald nails it.
OK so President Trump goes into office and cancels NAFTA and TPP. We impose tariffs on the goods we import from them, they place tariffs on the stuff they import from us. What next?
It almost seems that EVERY OTHER CANDIDATE running as a Republican (other than, maybe, Cruz) figured they wanted to get the pulse of the country, so they surveyed what concerned people and where they wanted this country to go.
...only problem was that their survey was limited to the big-money donors. Trump didn’t bother asking their opinions on a damn thing.
Well, “free traders” have been telling us for years that what we sell to them is more important than what they sell to us, so let’s see how that works.
FNC’s “Special Report” came out unanimously for TPP. After Krauthammer and Will(Will praised Clinton for passing NAFTA)concluded their remarks Bret Baier commented - “But you’re just establishment hacks” - which elicited laughter all around.
It’s their world and we’re just living in it folks.
Oh, and congrats to Baier for an accurate description of Will and Krauthammer.
“What next?”
What we are getting now, except they are too, for a change.
