The multilateral trade agreement known as the Transpacific Partnership (TPP), is a massive pacific rim trade agreement favored by Wall Street, the US Chamber of Commerce, Club for Growth, Ron DeSantis (voted to approve) and now candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.
President Trump famously took the U.S. out of the TPP agreement around the same time he took us out of the Paris Climate Agreement. As noted by President Trump and his economic team at the time, Free Trade Agreements (FTA’s) are beneficial to the USA when they are bilateral between the U.S. and another singular nation. Multinational trade agreements end up serving the interests of the least common denominator nation and are detrimental in their finished outcome to U.S. consumers.
Wall Street loves multinational trade agreements because they provide greater flexibility for the profit opportunities of global corporations, multinational corporations and banks. However, Main Street USA suffers from lost manufacturing jobs, lowered overall wages, and cheap imported durable goods that are an outcome of the lowest cost manufacturing priority.
During a Twitter spaces discussion yesterday presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said he was in favor of reengaging the U.S. in the TPP trade agreement. This is a non-starter for any America First economic platform.
“I think we should re-enter it,” Ramaswamy said to Musk about 94 minutes into the conversation on Twitter. “I think this is a little bit different than what, you know, the course of action taken by Trump in exiting the TPP [Trans-Pacific Partnership]. I think that was actually a poor decision.” (link)
This should be a disqualifying position for any consideration in the Trump administration.

“The rest are just a mindless uni-voice. “oh, thanks for the memo, I know what to think and say now.””
Wow. The irony in that comment is ....
stunning.
This doesn’t make him McRomBush to me. I’m with Trump on this issue and it’s core but doesn’t put him in that category. What ot SHOULD do is remind everyone that it’s not clear what any of these people will do when in office. Will they become the swamp? I think with Trump we can be certain that he’s going there to crush the deep state. If he wins he owes EVERYTHING to the people who kept him out of prison and has every reason to go after the swamp that tried to put him there.
I’m an American citizen but I’m not eligible to be POTUS either
I initially thought the fellow could be a future choice - but like Crenshaw in Texas, seems to have a Soros & Club for Growth skeleton in the closet they still pay alegence too.
There's no consensus in America on this issue. The Constitution does not define "natural born citizen." The"natural born citizen" argument failed to keep Obama out of the White House or derail Ted Cruz's presidential campaign. Nonetheless, Vivek Ramaswamy's detractors are trying to use it against him, and so will Hirsh Singh's if his campaign manages to catch fire.
Trump ordered his Staff to Look at Rejoining TOP on April 18 2018 .
I want all the Candidate to say I support it or Not .
I will not support anyone linked to the TPP nightmare .
Vivek is worse, Soros Crime Family have their hooks in Vivek and they will want returns on their investment into Vivek.
Trump changed his mind on TPP
April 18 , 2018 , Trump ordered his staff to look at signing TPP .
Thank God . his staff was busy .
We need to know where they all stand in TPP nightmare .
The Soros Indian Puppet is pure Manchurian Candidate .
She’s something. She like to be dramatic at times. She’s overall cool though.
They are All a Nightmare by supporting this Unconstitutional Bill .
We need right now where each one stands .
I will not support any supporting TPP.
That Indian Soros Trojan Horse needs to Quit .
An obvious Demonrat Plant.
Trump is the only NON-CAREER politician in USA.
See my tag line.
TPP is anti-MAGA.
Yes , I agree .
“The Constitution does not define “natural born citizen.””
I have heard that line a thousand times. Guess what, the Constitution does not define ANY of its legal term used, which frustrated me when we first read it in the 5th grade.
And since it used “citizen” throughout and used “natural born citizen” only once, then it has more meaning than just “citizen.”
However, the Naturalization Act of 1790 defines it directly as a person born of citizen parents.
Soros crime family or Bush crime family. Pick your poison.
But you may well be right.
Here's a reply I got from Ann Archy from just yesterday:
"You better PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF HIM SAYING THAT OR YOU WILL BE REPORTED FOR LYING!"
Did you report me Ann?
I wonder how many Ramaswampy fans here are also forever war fan Bushbots?
His slobberers are most likely fully jabbed and vaxed as well.
Folks who have been supporting this guy really have needed to dig deeper this guys a fraud from top to bottom.
an OZ on the national stage
Yep.
There was a story lately detailing how he became so wealthy.
A slick con.
The press has totally ignored his business history.
I am pretty sure the story was/is correct because the author would be sued out of existence if it was not. I suspect he is protected by the discovery process that occurs in every civil suit.
I saw him on an interview where he bashed Trump, he’s done now.
Ramaswamy sounded pretty good at first, but he has really outed himself over the last couple of months as just another globalist Rino.
