Why? Because the trade agenda has been driven by open trade, open borders advocates in big business who give massive sums to politicians to ensure access to cheap illegal labour in the US, and cheaper labour in these foreign countries. They view Americans as nothing more than a giant marketplace to purchase foreign built products to increase profit margins. It’s what happens when the profit motive is globalized and decisions are completely disconnect from patriotism. Trump is making it loud and clear to Wall Street that they can no longer sacrifice Americans and America in their lust for even greater profits.

Good, sooner NAFTA ended, the better. Set up a bilateral trade deal with Canada only.

What I have seen so far is that Trump is operating government as if it were a business and making decisions as a businessman would, not a politician.

I assume he is approaching negotiations as a businessman would, and not as a politician.

All in all, I think that is a very good thing, especially when you see where politicians have taken us.

And, business day three has not even gotten a good start yet.

You're kidding right?

Trump has probably been up since 3 am. He's probably having his first coffee break.
Of course it's just a small cup...of espresso.

I’d guess that the White Trump Tower has 4 shifts in some positions to give 24/7 coverage. A human that can be active 18-20 hr/day could get plenty of actions completed every day.

Well.... bye.

The NAFTA pact was a stupid idea from the start.

I had a dream last night that President Trump found access to some secret DARPA tech, more than likely alien, and images of that TV mini series “Under the Dome” came to mind but was the border wall.

The wall drops in place, extends a thousand feet underground at least, same above. I see it just going WHAM! in place cutting in half drug mules, slicing into tunnels and of course an aircraft has to fly into it.

Until President DJTs election our economic model has been Keynesian theory with SJWs in power. This is why the phrase America First makes them recoil in horror.
