U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday he plans talks soon with the leaders of Canada and Mexico to begin renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement.

"We will be starting negotiations having to do with NAFTA," Trump said at a swearing-in ceremony for his top White House advisers. "We are going to start renegotiating on NAFTA, on immigration and on security at the border."

I anticipate a Trump blitzkrieg. Things will move fast for a while.

Trump’s MO is to get it done. On time. Under budget.

And that’s what we’ll likely see.. a lot.

Wikipedia says Trump made a run for the top of the Reform Party in 2000. Anybody know if that is true?

CONGRESS is going to have to start working out at the gym to keep up with PRESIDENT TRUMP’S pace and work ethic. He is on a mission to Make America Great Again.

If TRUMP has a Divine assignment, the LORD will surely equip him for the task just as he did for CALEB...

JOSHUA 14:10-12
“Now behold, the LORD has let me (CALEB)live, just as He spoke, these forty-five years, from the time that the LORD spoke this word to Moses, when Israel walked in the wilderness; and now behold, I am eighty-five years old today. 11”I am still as strong today as I was in the day Moses sent me; as my strength was then, so my strength is now, for war and for going out and coming in. 12”Now then, give me this hill country about which the LORD spoke on that day, for you heard on that day that Anakim were there, with great fortified cities; perhaps the LORD will be with me, and I will drive them out as the LORD has spoken.”…

It's true. He didn't win though.

It’s sort of true. He formed an exploratory committee and may have even declared his candidacy, but he got out very early in the process — maybe even way before the first primaries.

USA first. USA as a nation. Nations were invented by YHVH, not man.

There are two things I find very interesting about his short-lived 2000 presidential run:

1. He got into the race at the urging of Jesse Ventura, who won the Minnesota governor's race in 1998 as the Reform Party candidate.

2. Trump dropped out of the 2000 race because he decided that a third-party candidate could never win a presidential election, and that he'd have to basically hijack one of the major party nominations in order to win.

He also ran a campaign on universal health care, and announced that he'd select Oprah Winfrey as his running mate.

It sounds like it was the perfect campaign for someone who was recruited by a former professional wrestler. LOL.

That was during his younger and wilder days.

Right. He was only 54 years old back then. WTF? LOL.

Good luck. It takes two to change an agreement. Why would Mexico or Canada agree to it?

And now we know how Trump will make Mexico pay for the Border Wall.

Anyone tired of winning yet?

It may take two to change it but it only takes one to withdraw from it.

So Trump will "Godfather up" and make them a deal they can't refuse.
