President Donald J. Trump killed the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) once and for all on Monday, signing an executive order officially withdrawing from the trade deal negotiations. It came as a part of series of three separate executive actions that President Trump took on Monday.
The first is a withdrawal of the United States from the Trans Pacific Partnership, White House chief of staff Reince Priebus said, explaining the first executive action President Trump was taking in the list of three. The other two were one freezing hiring of all federal employees except in the military, and one that restores the Mexico City policy.
As President Trump signed the executive action killing the TPP, he announced for the cameras in the oval office that it was a great thing for the American worker, what we just did.
Trump campaigned heavily against TPP, so its only fitting hed crush it once and for all on his first business day as President of the United States. Its his efforts campaigning against itand the efforts of failed presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)that shook Washingtons political establishment, and eventually forced failed Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton to come out against the deal that was supposed to be a legacy achievement of now former President Barack Obama.
Trump hammered TPP repeatedly throughout his campaign and even leading up to it in speeches and interviews, including many exclusive interviews with Breitbart News.
For instance, back in May 2015when many Republicans were in favor of TPP and before he announced his campaignTrump told Breitbart News exclusively in an interview that the TPP was a disaster of a deal.

I used to use blink from time to time.
It was an idiotic move disabling it.
It made for a nice highlight as long as the whole page wasn’t blinking, lol.
I used it sparingly to emphasize on links (elsewhere). I hated to see it turned off too.
I also have some old images that used a lake class to give that mirror look — boy does that feel like a long time ago -— then again, a lot does these days.
Great job on Trump, flushing this Obama disaster down the drain.
I read elsewhere that he had the Gawd awful drapes that Obama had installed taken down immediately. Was probably tired of the muslim colors in them.
Did W actually put his feet on the Oval Office desk? If he did, my opinion of him has dropped even lower.
The Oval Office desk is a very valuable (priceless) museum piece, it belongs to the People of the United States, and NO ONE has the right to put their feet on it!!! I didn’t expect Obama to respect the Oval Office, I knew he was trash. I expected better of W. Although I haven’t seen a photo of Bill Clinton putting his feet on the desk, it wouldn’t surprise me if he did, he is also trash.
Ronald Reagan wouldn’t even take his suit jacket off in the Oval Office, he revered everything about being POTUS with awe and respect. What a patriot and gentleman he was!

I agree.

You got me.......I can’t stop laughing. Scrolled up to look. yep, sleazy.
I've noticed several who still haven't returned to the FR fold. I suppose some never will, despite being proven wrong about the people's choice for President.
Perhaps your friend never noticed Obama's tacky maroon drapes, which President Trump just removed. They were hideous.
Personally, I think the Oval Office now looks much more dignified and stately. He'll likely soon add several more personalized touches to that office to suit his taste, which is no doubt, orders of magnitude better than Obie's.
HTML kudos for that one!
It would take me five minutes to type all those commands on this tablet.
We used to have *blink*, but JohnRob disabled it a couple of years ago. I guess it annoyed some people.
Of all the reasons to elect Trump, him killing TPP was the major pay off to the American people. He should release it so Americans can finally see what our politicians and Odumbass were up to and hiding from us.
I hear ya.

I agree. I reserve my more complex responses for my laptop.
