Exclusive — 'It’s A Terrible Deal,' Donald Trump Says About Just-Signed Obamatrade
Breitbart/Big Government ^ | Feb 5. 2016 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 02/05/2016 9:57:42 AM PST by Syncro

Donald Trump, currently leading in New Hampshire polling ahead of this coming Tuesday's primaries, tells Breitbart News exclusively that the just-signed Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) Pacific rim trade agreement is a "terrible deal."

"It's like all deals that the United States makes under this president, it's a terrible deal," Trump said when asked to react to the news that President...Obama's U.S. Trade Representative just inked the deal officially in Auckland, New Zealand.

It's going to allow countries to continue to take advantage of us and take our jobs, take our trade. It's bad for us. It'll allow China to come in through the back door at a later date and continue to really do a number on us, and it doesn't take into account money manipulation—manipulation or devaluation of currency, which is the single biggest tool that countries use against us. It's a terrible deal.

Trump also hit former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton-who used to favor the TPP portion of Obamatrade, but now says she opposes the highly unpopular deal even though she helped negotiate it-for flip-flopping to oppose the deal. In Thursday evening's Democratic debate, Clinton re-expressed her newfound opposition to Obamatrade's TPP, but she used to be in favor of it heavily.

"So she's against it in violation of the president, who's for it?" Trump told Breitbart News.

Wow. If she's against it, she's right-one of the few things she differs on the president with. If she's against it, she's right. She was for it, against it, for it and now she's against it. Look, it's a very bad deal for the U.S. It's a deal which will cause us further erosion of our jobs, our good jobs, and further erosion of our manufacturing. It's a terrible deal for the United States.

“It’s going to allow countries to continue to take advantage of us and take our jobs, take our trade. It’s bad for us.”

That’s WHY the Fraud and his handler wanted it.

Any deal that Obama does seem to suck and be harmful to the US.

If you want to turn the country around, vote for Trump. Let’s put a businessman in the White House for once.

Syncro,

Events are going to get TRUMP elected. In the recesses of his mind (and ours) it is sensed that events themselves are going to propel TRUMP to the presidency.

No one else but TRUMP has called Americans out to recognize our past and to man-up and be ready to deal with our future.

This TPP thing is but one of the quieter examples. More dangers will doubtless be coming, as Obama rushes us to collapse.

The bedroom issues are in ashes by now, because our survival is at stake. The prissy moralists must stand aside for just a minute, and let the warrior clear out the looming threat out there, which will determine whether we will even be able to keep our head and tongue attached.

Rubio is the threat to immigrants taking American's jobs. Cruz and Sessions wrote the American Jobs First Act of 2015 discussed here:

What’s happened and what happens is we have a great power over China because they get rich off the United States because they sell their product here. So if we had strong leadership, we’d use that power to stop their devaluation very simply.

So his solution is to ban all imports from China and embargo all exports to China? That'll stop their devaluation?

I’ve been pushing for that for 20 years!

Agree. It was politicians who got the country where she is today. They obviously can’t do the job.

I highly doubt banning trade with China is his ultimate solution. He is a master negotiator (see Art of the Deal), and goes into talks using extreme conditions and will give up enough to be where he wanted to be in the first place.

What else can be done to pressure them to stop their devaluation?

Negotiate from a position of power, don't surrender before you start (I wish the Senate/House would do that).
