Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Tuesday that President-elect Donald Trump's pledge to pull out of an Obama administration trade deal is predictable but disappointing.
"The President-elect’s announcement that he intends to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, though anticipated, is still a disappointment to those of us who still believe in free trade and the importance of America’s strategic role in the Asia-Pacific region," McCain, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in a statement.
He added that Trump's decision to pull out of the trade deal, which is already expected to die on the vine in this year's lame-duck session, will help strengthen China's influence in the region.
"Already, China is intensifying its push for a new regional trade agreement, which excludes the United States," he said. “America and the world paid a heavy price in the 1920s and 1930s when we tried to isolate ourselves from the world, including through disastrous protectionist policies."

That’s because McCain is owned and operated by these guys:

Well how do you like Peoria? Did you like 100 degrees in August?
Retire, you skunk!
After getting his ass kicked by Asians in the Vietnam war, you’d think he wouldn’t be so sympathetic to them. Maybe he is mad at the USA for sending him to Vietnam?
Maybe he doesn’t have any real competition.
If RINOcrat McCain is disappointed, that's another good reason to go ahead and withdraw from TPP.
Poor John. I see more disappointment coming his way
This is all premature verbal ejaculations on McCain's part.
He’s got company here with all the “concern” trolls.
“America and the world paid a heavy price in the 1920s and 1930s”
Gee, John, as I understood it, the insane market speculation in the U.S. stock market that caused the U.S. stock market to crash resulted in a heavy price paid by nearly everyone on the planet for an entire decade. I wonder how that could happen if the U.S. was as isolated as you claim?
And I’m disappointed by Senator McCain’s reelection.
Gee, I guess McCain’s election is now over so he quit playing a Conservative and go back to his RINO pontificating. Can Lindsey Graham be far behind in weighing in on this?
McLame can sit on it and spin.
Needs to retire? Hell, he just ran for and got another term and turned 80. He will die in the office.
We had a great conservative challenger this year but McCain still used his slime machine and big bucks to manage 51% of the vote. We have lots of old timers that have voted for him for decades and don’t know any better.
With the Goldwater heritage, we have some glamor attached to so called mavericks.
I actually voted for the Green Party idiot because I couldn’t stand the idea of being forced to vote for him. Our other Senator is in his mold — Flake the flake.
So much for Palin becoming President had McCain won in 2008.
All this posturing is just a strategy to get a better deal for the U.S., and to get more transparency in the process.
It was 117 when we arrived in town. Ugh.
The weather is nice now, but it’s seriously windy today. I’ll be glad when construction is finished so we don’t get all this blowing dust.
Other than that, it’s growing on me.
I wish McCain would find a hobby so he could retire.
