I consider myself to be a political “Independent”, a long time ex- member of the Republican Compromise Party, and never, never ever a member of the “Klan of New Bolsheviks Party” (formerly Democrats). No one has been a firmer supporter, in general, of President Trump, his policies, his patriotism, and his determination to “Make America Great Again”, than I have been, despite his actual or conjectured moral lapses over the years (lapses which have also surfaced in almost EVERY POTUS since our beginning)!
Right from the beginning of his administration in January of 2017 he appeared determined to protect Americans and American businesses from the rapaciousness of certain anti-American bureaucratic policies and from the predatory practices of the treacherous “globalists” in our government and in our business community that for decades have looked upon American society as a field ripe for plundering. Right at the beginning of his administration, President Trump threw out the anti-American sovereignty, business destroying “Trans Pacific Partnership”, or T.P.P., a proposed “law”, but actually a treaty, that the sinister globalist insiders, both in the U.S. and other countries, tried to foist upon America, led by the treasonous Council On Foreign Relations (CFR), an organization long determined to end U.S. sovereignty and “meld” the U.S. into some form of One World Government under the Marxist and subversive and America-hating United Nations, or some new organization even more threatening and dangerous to our survival as a Constitutional Republic.

This one is from last year but I’ve read some very disturbing reviews of the new NAFTA and no one seems to be examining it but just accepting the propaganda that its great or at least better than the old Nafta. There is an entire section or chapter in it about ecology and sustainability that appears to be the worst aspects of the TPP involving nebulous ideas of environmental sustainability that give globalist bureaucrats carte blanche over US sovereignty.
No
USMCA is the US - Mexico - Canada.
TPP is the Trans-Pacific-Partnership
Perhaps an elementary geography lesson is in order?
The guy writes about something he hasn’t even read?
TPP is dead and gone at least while Trump’s in charge. It has nothing to do with USMCA which while not perfect is a lot better than NAFTA.
He must be a FReeper! /s
I think he is just comparing the two, noy viewing one as being the replacement of the other.
A large portion of the USMCA agreement includes similar mechanisms and regulations that mirror the TPP agreement. I don’t require a geography lesson.
I trust the judgment of President Trump and his negotiators much more than I trust the musings of someone who writes in a way that sounds like a crackpot. Every trade agreement ever written is going to be a compromise that is easy to snipe at. It is a bit like the “Trump tax cut”. It was overall... good policy, but personally it has cost our family thousands of dollars. We live in a state that has high taxes and we now are paying income tax on money we are paying out in state taxes. The house GOP under Paul Ryan’s leadership wrote this into the tax code changing policy that had been in place since 1913 when the Feds first started collecting income tax. Then Ryan and company gave the “credit” to President Trump who really had little if anything to do with it.
(Hint: what products and industries are most affected by the one agreement vs. the other?)
Ryan was an undercover Democrat. We had a boat load of them retire and hand the House to Democrats after they screwed us over with their last tax bill. It should be redone and lots of provisions restored. Bankruptcy laws need to be restored as well.
You had better read the article before you negatively opine.
This new NAFTA has indeed morphed into a version of the TPP and a stepping stone to a Union of the Americas.
The Dems would not be so enthusiastic were it not.
Even after reading the piece the concerns look overblown to me. One of the problems with NAFTA was it didn’t ask Mexico to be on a level playing field. I recall a lot of commentary that their trucking, for example, didn’t have to meet our regulations. USMCA seems to address this better.
Just so! And I seem to remember that the TPP would have allowed Communist China to join later without our say-so.
I will not accept a bone while losing sovereignty.
The Mexican trucks come here and goods are transferred to American trucks and drivers generally.
Our trucks will not go down there until protected. Do not know if rearty changes that.
That is the way that I see it. The economy is doing better largely because of a roll back in regulations and domestic energy production.
