Support Free Republic, Folks!
More Winning!
Winning! Do the Russians approve? What about Stormy? Are her services anywhere in this new trade deal?
This must be FAKE NEWS!! Everyone by now knows Trump doesn’t have a f’n clue when it comes to international trade negotiations and all he will do will screw everything up in addition to starting WW3!
This will pi** off Dems and particularly Obama. That's what we call winning.
This is America. We love it.
Now Merkel has to come to her senses.
The devil is in the details. The 2012 free trade agreement with South Korea led to bigger Korean trade surpluses. That might have been fine if US exports to Korea had increased significantly. But in fact, there was a $6b increase in US exports and a $13b increase in Korean exports, such that the US trade deficit with Korea actually increased(!).

“...China has agreed to “meaningful increases” in its purchase of U.S. agriculture and energy exports ...”
****************************************************
This is an absolutely MEANINGLESS statement. China’s imports of such American goods have been increasing each year so this was GOING TO HAPPEN ANYHOW. But China’s EXPORTS TO AMERICA will increase by a MUCH LARGER amount. If this is all it takes for America to cease actions in the TRADE WAR, we’ve lost before WE BEGIN. China, on the other hand has been engaged in trade warring on us for DECADES!
Please don’t be taken in by such empty words, FReepers.
question in my mind: does the boost in ag exports give Trump cover to shut down ethanol?
What do Crumbs Pelosi and Upchuck Shoe have to say about this?
In 14 months President Trump has accomplished more than the past 7 - 4 year terms of US Presidents...Bush 1, Clinton, Bush 2, Obama....that’s 28 years President Trump has compressed into 14 months.
The American people are taking notice and wondering what were the last 28 years all about. How is it that a non politician, non DC hack, with virtually no support from the governing class and no foreign affairs experience, come into Washington DC, put together an Executive team on the fly and turn this country around...MAGA in 14 months!
China has been eating our lunch for 30 years. NK has been making a fool of us for 50 years. Germany has been free loading off of our taxpayer supported military forever, instead spending their money on cradle to grave security for their citizens while the American middle class pays the bill and our elderly vets die in the streets.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again...I think President Trump will get so much of his agenda in play that he will refuse a second term...instead playing the kingmaker to pass the torch to the man or woman he deems best fit to carry on. He will OWN the GOP.
What better way to stick it to all the never-Trumpers and it fits President Trump so well:)
Stormy, Russia, Avenatti, Russia, Porn star, Avenatti, Russia. This President has done more for this nation than any of the past 3. And yet, our the MSM still refuses to acknowledge his accomplishments since President Elect.
CNN, MSNBC, NY Times, Washington Post are going down. If not financially, then by lost of confidence by main street. News orgs exist to make money from their sponsors. Companies will start pulling ads once all the corruption is exposed by the biased feckless pundits. Like Dan Rather, some will be replaced. BTW, where is Dan "false but true" Rather nowadays? Mark my words.
Also, I think Trump is being smart by NOT firing Sessions. He's going to let this farce play out and then bring the hammer down. Anyone who has read his "Art of the Deal" or watched him on The Apprentice knows his rope length to let others hang themselves.
