Sweet deal.

PHILADELPHIA — Three dozen union workers gathered outside city hall here on Thursday to rally against the global free-trade deals they believe have harmed Americans like them. Their candidate was Katie McGinty, the Democrats’ nominee for Senate in Pennsylvania. But their spiritual leader was Republican Donald Trump.
“He recognized there’s some problems we need to solve,” said McGinty, who is challenging Sen. Patrick J. Toomey (R), a free-trade advocate. “One, we have to stop bad trade agreements. . . . And two, we have to take the Chinese on when they manipulate their currency and dump goods in our markets.”
Just two days earlier, Trump had delivered a blistering speech at an aluminum recycling plant near Pittsburgh in which he called U.S. trade policies a “politician-made disaster” that has betrayed the working class. McGinty, surrounded by electricians, pipe fitters and steelworkers, declared that while Trump usually spouts “nonsense,” he had, in this case, “recognized a couple of truths.”
Of the many ways Trump, the GOP’s presumptive presidential nominee, has scrambled the 2016 campaign, it is his position on trade that has presented one of the most unexpected challenges for his rival, Hillary Clinton, the likely Democratic nominee. In an election season animated by economic anxiety, Trump, a New York business mogul, bucked Republican orthodoxy and powerful business interests such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in an appeal to blue-collar Republicans that helped propel him to victory in the GOP primary.

Even Bernie called her out on it a couple of days ago while trying to put a plank in the Dem platform condemning TPP.
And, this above what's happening for her on the legal front.
White collar Republicans, like myself, are also supportive of the message. Only those profiting by globalization are against the message. Either you support the sovereignty of this nation or you don’t, and trade deals put another level of tyranny between the people and those governing. One level of tyranny is already one too many.
Wrong WaPo, Trump’s not “anti-trade” he’s anti-STUPID-trade, and there’s all the difference. The MSM, Hillary, and Obozo are going all out trying to pretend that Trump wants to cut us off from the world, all trade, etc. which is idiotic. He wants good deals not bad deals.
The WaPo and Nut York Times are in the tank for Hitlary.
Whites will represent about 75% of the voting electorate in November.
A reasonable question to ask is why did 18 of 19 candidates treat white voters like dog dung, and only one candidate treated them with respect?
Let’s see if anyone has the right answer!
“Trump’s not “anti-trade” he’s anti-STUPID-trade”
It’s like “anti-immigrant” or screaming “Racist!” when they’ve lost the argument.
They aren’t getting away with stuff like this anymore. Go Trump. Win win win.
And he WILL have help.
You can be a globalist or a patriot but not both.
WaPo’s Dave Weigel Resigns After More Journolist E-Mails Surface

Very nice I like it - there is a very Malthusianism vibe to these progressive/globalists/EU/Uniparty types (satans little helpers a better blanket descriptor perhaps).
The Washin t on ComPost composting AGAIN. Trump is NOT anti-trade. He just wants trade agreements which favor AMERICA instead of crony globalist capitalists and the graft greedy politicians they buy like cheap prostitutes - Paul Ryan for one.
Let’s be clear on what a patriot is and what patriotism means. It doesn’t mean supporting international trade, reverse mercantilism through offshoring, international labor arbitrage all to the detriment of the American people and it doesn’t mean supporting de industrialization to increase corporate profits.
No Governor will be chosen. This is not typical politics this time around...
The page scrolled and I commented in the wrong thread... Excuse me
Here here Very much agree with you.
These arguments need to be honed and refined at least for me when I have opportunity to rebut.
I have been noticing lately when confronted with such arguments, as I imagine you or I would make based on your posts, so called conservatives (Levin, Shapiro, Limbaugh (yes), Medved) instantly jump to saying something like "these people don't understand economics".
Implying we are stupid and that economics is a complex subject (which it is) beyond most of us; however, then they give incredibly simplistic explanations and situations - demonstrating just dual of what they have said is true.
Trump is finally breaking it down and making the complex understandable vocalizing what many know in their economic gut (pocket book/wallet) to be true, and giving examples to highlight the nuances that these luminaries just don't have the time to learn.
Its becoming more and more obvious some of these shill once they got the song and dance down stopped using their minds for orginal thought.
This atmosphere of pull up the ladder after you make yours (Buffet, Bezos, Gates, Soros, Zuckerberg, Schmidt ...) and screw your fellow countryman is not capitalism is not free trade and is not patriotic. It is just the opposite - its short sighted self-greed, endangering treasonous behavior everyone posing as free enterprise and foisting upon us a techno marxist hell.
I agree. Trump should choose a VP that is neither Governor nor Senator, after railing against politicians. He should choose an outsider like himself.
I’d think about Patrick Buchanan.
Excellent post
The WAPO actually lied after only two words. First word Trump was true, second word anti-trade was a lie.
It's a sweet deal when you can maneuver your family consigliere to Attorney General.
And the WaPo is part of your cover-up team.
Sweet deal.
BWAHAHAHAHA
Trump is not anti trade. He wants us to trade smarter
