GOP presidential candidate and billionaire businessman Donald Trump slammed President Obama’s trade agreements – especially the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) – which Obama argued the United States needs in order to better compete with China.
However, according to a recent report by Politico, China may be trying to enter the TPP – defeating Obama’s main argument for finalizing the deal.
“Of course China wants to join the trade negotiation because the deal is so pathetic and so bad,” Trump told Breitbart News.
He added that China would continue to take advantage of America’s stupid politicians, who don’t know what they’re doing.
Trump warned several weeks ago that China could come in through a docking agreement, which would allow a country – like China – to come into the agreement at the back end.
Trump said Obama’s negotiations are “so weak and so pathetic,” adding that America has “incompetent people” negotiating this agreement
Trump said the TPP would be a terrible agreement for jobs in this country, and that America is already losing a fortune to China – adding that it is hard to believe it’s going to get worse.

I don’t think you understand what the term means, frankly. I buy stuff. The imported stuff I buy adds to our “trade imbalance.” So what?
I doubt Diogenesis will reveal his/her perfect, flawless candidate. They’d rather tear down other candidates and their followers. Classy.
Great, so America has no trade balance of any kind with any country because such a thing isn’t possible.
The only thing that is certain is, when Jeb Bush gets the nomination, Diogenesis will whine the loudest.
No, what is not possible is for our country to make a “profit” when it comes to trade. I’m spending the money, not the government. “We” have a trade deficit because “we” buy stuff.
That meme is constantly posted by supporters of other candidates. It completely ignores thae fact that Trump does multi-Billion dollar business in blue states dominated by democrats. Those posters have no clue what it takes to operate a business in a democrat controlled area who love high taxes and regulations.
Another reason this meme fails is because of the size of donations. Total donations by Trump to democrats is about 0.001% of his net worth. Which means Trump is very stingy in giving money to democrats.
Get rid of the regulations, break the strangle hold of unions and lower the corporate taxes. Businesses and manufacturing will return to the USA.
Yep all those companies will flock back to America and pay workers 150 times more to produce the same products. Bridges for sale....bridges for sale...hurry before are all gone!
It is like reasoning with a brain dead guy!
That is NOT the only reason. Main reason for our trade deficits with 90% of countries is, they restrict import of American products via various tricks and restrictions and tariffs.
Our professional politicians have been obviously inept in helping export of American products for last 6 decades.
I never refer to the government as America. America refers to the citizens of the United States as a group.
Which is why we sign free trade agreements.
When we buy more than we sell, we become poorer. Our government uses trade deals to force us into that position.
Ok, so America runs a trade deficit, and not the government . . . making your comment that “[w]hen we buy more than we sell, we become poorer” that much more mysterious. When I buy something, I become richer.
What is Obama going to do / say in response to being dissed by Trump? I think Alinsky would say to polarize Trump, dismiss him as meaningless, a clown, an entertainer. But how can Obama do that, when his other hand is held out to Hollywood money every week? And I hope he does say something dismissive about Trump, get personal. Ohhhh, that would be quite fun. A peeing contest between Trump, lover of beautiful women, and a President who prefers being serviced by older white men?? Buying another few shares of Orville Redenbacher...
I don’t care who first finds legit proof but I just hope I live to see it exposed. I’ll be an old creaking lady, saying “I knew it... Lots of us did... No one would listen. People were scared off. But your old granny knew this... president Obama was not even eligible!”
And you keep repeating that accusation without providing proof.
Now, I'm sure you have a lot of quotes from others saying Walker supports TPA and TPP, just look at your own posting history for example.
One thing no one has been able to provide is Walker himself saying he supports either of those agreements.
So he’s only a little bit pregnant?
This Fast track gives Obama power to make treaties that override U.S. laws. It’s the destruction of the republic.It gives obama unlimited dictatorial power to destroy the U.S. Proof here :

The Congress just voted to give Obama trade promotion authority over this country destroying “trade” agreement. This means the Congress gave up almost all its power to to Obama and Congress cannot stop this obamatrade and it will pass unless somehow this trade promotion authority is stopped.
The trade agreements we have signed in the past such as NAFTA...
Have resulted in Factories moving to Mexico. For every factory which moved from Mexico to USA, I can list 10 which moved from USA to Mexico.
With the PPT same thing will happen. Factories will move to Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos. None will move from those countries to USA. Factory jobs are middle class jobs. But politicians such as Cruz & Rubio are controlled by their rich donors, not middle class donors.
Get a handle on proportions. 0.001% = light petting at best. No chance of a pregnancy.
If Obama was not a fraud, why did he produce a computer synthesized BC? Of course you are right. But so long as Obama controls Justice dept., do not expect to uncover the fraud.
