Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) blasted President Trump on Monday, warning that his decision to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) will spark a wave of negative consequences.
“President Trump’s decision to formally withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a serious mistake that will have lasting consequences for America’s economy and our strategic position in the Asia-Pacific region," McCain said in a statement.

The silver lining in the dark cloud of 8 years of Bath House is that the Rat party has been decimated.
In retrospect, I should have abstained from the McStain up ticket and just voted the down ticket.
Didn’t he get the memo, “America first”?
Didn’t he get the memo, “America first”?
Why doesn’t he just become a Democrat already.
How would we know if dumping the TPP was a mistake if they wouldn’t let us read it?
TPP is nothing to with taxes.
Have trade pact with individual country and you will have better deal.
Group deal will only harm US.
McCain is establishment guy and gets his funding from K-street.
I didn’t vote for him, I voted for Palin and against obama.
Dear John,
We honor your service and sacrifice.
You had your chance in 2008, and you lost bigly.
Now on our President’s first day at the job and you try to undermine him.
You lost and are part of the fossilized establishment which needs to get with the program, or join the Democrats along with the other gang members to thwart the will of the people.
Once McCain finally drops dead, how on earth will we function without his input?
Hey McCain, nobody cares what you think. You should retire and go fishing.
Apparently TRUMP is going to negotiate with countries one on one and get flexible deals. Sounds good to me.
Exactly right! Basically an endorsement.
McIsane is a chronic hemorrhoid that pops up to cause discomfort and aggravation. He needs to be surgically removed from the rear end of the USA and retire to a lush lobbying job with the Chamber of Crony Commerce.
If McInsane is angry you know Trump did something right.
John, thank you for your warning, we deeply appreciate your concern for overseas interests which secretly funnel millions into the bank accounts of yourself and your family.
I would like to make a slight request: How about you fight for the people of the United States for once and let those who are in other countries elect and support those who can fight for them?
Unbelievable. smdh.
Numbnutts McCain has to have skeletons. Trump’s job is to find them and shut him up for good. Him and Linda Graham.
This. Was it Pedo Island, or just conspiring with the enemy? Sorry, ENEMIES. For many decades. What does Soros et al have on him? Lindsay, too easy to figure out what’s in his closet.
McCain can’t stand someone else getting attention.
He’s trying to keep relevant.
We usually refer to people like this as...B***h
[My vote for McCain in 2008 was a serious mistake.]
Glad I can’t say that. I didn’t vote in ‘08.
Didn’t like McCain, and certainly wasn’t going to pull the lever for a Democrat.
Amazing how Trump makes decisions that sometimes the right will like, sometimes the left.
FACT IS, JUAN, HE’S MAKING DECISIONS THAT ARE BEST FOR THE USA.
Note to McCain, the TPP is not yet law, it didn’t get ratified by Congress, and all the TPP countries have two years to ratify it, or decide to not ratify it.
Trump’s action does not mean an end to ANY “trans pacific trade deal”. It means there could be a new one, negotiated by an American team that will more protect American interests than did Obama.
