Trump: I 'very much agree' with Sanders on trade
The Hill's Ballot Box Blog ^ | February 7, 2016 | Bradford Richardson

Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump on Sunday said he and Democratic primary candidate Bernie Sanders "very much agree" on trade.

"Well it's very interesting that you say that, because the one thing we very much agree on is trade," Trump said on CNN's "State of the Union." "We both agree that we're getting ripped off by China, by Japan, by Mexico, by everybody we do business with."

Asked how he would differentiate himself with the Vermont senator to New Hampshire independents who may be torn, the billionaire businessman said he will actually be able to do something to correct trade imbalances.

"The difference is, I can do something about it. I'm going to renegotiate those trade deals and make them good - and, believe me, they're going to be really good," he said.

"Bernie can't do anything about it, because it's not his thing," he added. "He won't be able to do anything about it. I'll create absolute gold out of those deals, whereas right now we're losing tens of billions and even hundreds of billions of dollars."

"I will create gold, and Bernie will just talk about how bad they are."

Trump touches on trade here. Also, when pressed if he would ever run for president, Trump said he doesn’t think so but would consider it if things got so bad. Were are there folks.

Here is a video of Trump from 1991 appearing before the House Task Force on Urgent Fiscal Issues. CSPAN

Trumps trade stance has been pretty constant through the years. Don’t let ourselves be used by other countries. Make them pay for our military protection. Quit footing the bill for them. We are a debtor nation.

Of course it was written by others, his staff or webmaster. But they are his policies. Are you really that myopic?

Even I agree with the Bern on a few of those things. He hates the crony politics, he sees other countries owning us... He is a real guy, no phony. A straight up Socialist but he like Trump is not in this for the money or glory.

They are his policies until he changes his mind.

He seems to do that once a week.

So let me understand the gaggle of you.

The right to free speech as is a basic individual right. i believe that our founders would be thoroughly amazed that we would extend the rights of individuals to corporations, an illegal entity that were prohibited by the British Bubble Act 1720’s and remained in force until its repeal in 1825.

If you had a free press at the time of the founders, free speech was allowed by the group, but none of the group was free of liability of that speech, unlike the situation that we have with Super Pacs today.

Throw a stone and hide your hand, is the way it works now.

It was a split decision of our current Supreme Court, but lord knows they never make any mistakes, right?

Our Founding Fathers would never be presumptuous as to assert that the right to free speech is granted by government, nor would it draw any distinction between an individual acting alone or one acting corporately with others.

Amendment I does not grant rights to the individual. Instead, it limits the power of the federal legislature. And it is clear from your statement that you stand opposite Madison, Mason, et al.

If they are his policies, why can he not articulate them?

He’s selling this just like he sold how great the Taj Mahal was going to be. Like he has sold everything else in his life. He’s a carney barker... step right up ... try your luck..... 3 throws for $5. Win a prize. And we have a long line of freepers throwing their money down on the table to win a 10cent prize.
