To carry out his strategy, the President is appointing the toughest and smartest to his trade team, ensuring that Americans have the best negotiators possible.

IMO, that is a key sentence. When Perot was running for President, he made a comment that was glossed over. He said that if you look at our trade deals, "It would make you weep." I thought at the time, "Where the Hell are all our sharp Yankee traders?", not realizing how bad we were intentionally being sold out.

Great historical question: "Where the Hell are all our sharp Yankee traders?", not realizing how bad we were intentionally being sold out.

Now we know how bad we were sold out the rats and GOPe!
