Trade has been used to destroy the US industrial base while making Wall Street rich and the Republicans Party facilitated that.

So? Not all trade is bad.

Some has been, especially that with China.

In addition, some trade has been very good.

Trade in our agricultural products has been very good for the U.S.

I have no problems with Wall Street becoming rich (my investment in my 401K type fund benefit me) as long as the long term interests of the United States are put first.

My 401K type fund does me no good if the U.S. is destroyed.

Farming is only 1% of GDP and has way too much influence in politics. A patriot doesn't love his 401K more than he loves his country.
