Donald Trump: Stalking The Wild TPP (Critics 'Wrong')
Forbes ^ | Nov 12, 2015 ; 01:43 PM | John Brinkley

It's TPP hunting season and Donald Trump is stalking it with fire in his eyes and blood...

Trump has come in for criticism over the last few days...

"The TPP is horrible deal," he said. "It is a deal that is going to lead to nothing but trouble...was designed for China to come in...

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., responded, "we might want to point out China is not part of this deal."

The Wall Street Journal jumped in the next day with an editorial that said, "Mr. Trump called it a 'terrible deal,' though it wasn't ...took Rand Paul to point out that China isn't part of the deal."

This caused Trump to blow his top (not hard to do). In a series of rapid-fire tweets Thursday morning he said the Journal was "WRONG again," and that the paper's "Editorial Board ..."

In fairness, Trump never said China was a party to the TPP. He seems to know that it isn't. What he said was that the agreement was "designed" to let China join later "through the back door."

The media is more incompetent than the leaders. Of course WSJ also owned by Rupert Murdoch who wants blanket amnesty and no cap on H1b visas.

Immigration Reform Can't Wait

“If I ever run into Murdoch, it will take will power not to smash his face.”

Let me help you if you ever do. Murdoch should be kicked out of our country like he and his worthless son were kicked out of the UK.

I can’t even read the WSJ anymore. The editorials Trash Trump every single day. They also support amnesty sluts, like Rubio.
I quit watching Fox News 7 y6ears ago.

We don’t need much in the way of immigration reform, what we NEED is to ENFORCE our current laws. Obama picked the laws that he wanted to enforce and the laws that he does not.

TPP is a horrible law and undermines our Constitution as well as US immigration law. These countries can will force the US to take their people under this terrible law for jobs in the US. These jobs need to go to US citizens.

Any candidate that supports TPP should NOT get the Republican nomination or be re-elected to office in 2016.

We need to stop supporting the Chamber of Commerce organizations within local communities on up! They do not support the views on illegal aliens that the majority of US citizens hold.

Thanks for the post. I was just talking about this to my mother and wandering how long it would take before Trump said something.

No one thought it was a mistake until Rand Paul claimed it was. It wasn’t. He mentioned China on the general subject that “Everyone is ripping us off....” He never said they were part of the TPP agreement.

That guy really upset my life. Before I absolutely loved to read the WSJ, all, with a couple of cups of coffee early. Then over time it became unreadable. Haven’t read it in years and I still miss h it.
