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 it’s only fitting he’d crush it once and for all on his first business day as President of the United States. It’s his efforts campaigning against it—and the efforts of failed presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)—that shook Washington’s 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 2015—when many Republicans were in favor of TPP and before he announced his campaign—Trump told Breitbart News exclusively in an interview that the TPP was a “disaster” of a deal.

Sounds good to me.
He’s doing a number of good things in these first days.
Did not mean to imply that was super complex, it’s just that as you point out, it’s no fun to use html when posting with the tablet.
I do it at times though.

Post it on whitehouse.gov as a pdf so all Americans can know how badly they were being sold out by little bammy hussein.

Woe,look at all the white men.
That ought to give the pink hat ladies apoplexy.

Good to have an American as President again. Been awhile, heh Lindsey ? Real easy to understand America First. You work for the people who pay your salary, not your graft.
I looked at the White House which has historical info on the Oval Office. It says that Clinton, Nixon and George W. Bush all had gold curtains.
Sorry...that should say White House Museum website.
You said: “For his next Executive Order he needs to have those gawdawful curtains taken down. They make the Oval Office look like a cheap Virginia City whorehouse.”
Trump & I say: “WRONG!”
You inspired me to go ahead and see what I could find. It appears that the drapes are from Clinton, the rug is from Reagan and the couches from Bush.

This! The drapes aren’t too bad. I do think it’s wallpaper. Shouldn’t be a big deal to replace like Obamacare. Maybe the Fixer Upper couple can do some work at the WH.
F**K this a$$hole. Sorry. This picture took me over the edge a little.
No, no. I wasn't saying the commands are complex. Only that I know how many separate commands it takes to create a cool HTML piece like that. I was simply admiring your patience and diligence in typing it all in. It's a lot of keystrokes.
I might take a minute or two to do something like that on my desktop computer, but never on this dinky tablet.
At this time in Obama’s Presidency he was issuing orders to hide his identity.
It was a rare chance to diss England and the USA in one shot and not expend too much energy.
He wasn’t going to miss that photo-op - whenever he could.
SPOT ON! :-)
Interesting. Thanks!
Interesting. Thanks!
And don’t even consider the “scrolling marquee” html.
That has been considered bad on FR for at least a decade now, but have fond mammaries of it.
