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.

Every kid in school 70 years ago knew exactly what Natural Born means, only crooks bring that into question in order to exploit morons.
Many freepers will argue the issue until the Supreme Court makes a ruling, which may for may not be correct but it will be legally defined for those who need it.
Anyone who believes the GOP is not as big of a part of the problem as the Democrats is beyond naive.
“...it will be legally defined for those who need it.”
It was legally defined under British common law many years before the Constitution was written. The writers of the Constitution used accepted legal definitions in use at the time, and they are still used the same way today.
The MAGA mask falls off of the GOP Establishment’s latest attempt to fool voters.
They figured that the whole quasi-Hindu thing would distract the crowd that falls for the latest Not A WASP savior.
The Stupid party’s strategy of imitating The Evil party will retool itself for another try.
“Dennis Prager is very excited about Vivek”
For people who have known Prager for years this is the least surprising thing possible.
Dennis is a “Proposition Nation” neocon who loves mass immigration and Vivek the Exotic is just his cup of tea, whereas he considers Buchanan paleocons to be the enemy of all things good and holy.
Interesting that the Brahmin bs tech bro chose to fling away a Cabinet post in Trump II with both hands.
time to cover the hole he has dug for himself.. dumbass indian
The idea Prager was on the same radio network as Michel Medved told me all I need to know about Prager and doubly so for Hugh Hewitt with that stupid smirk!
*once not one
He lost me when he said he would keep trannies in the military.
“The idea Prager was on the same radio network as Michael Medved told me all I need to know about Prager and doubly so for Hugh Hewitt with that stupid smirk!”
Your judgment is accurate.
There is some slight difference between Hewitt and Medved versus Prager. Hewitt and Medved are more politically astute and they knew all along that they didn’t share the conservative opinions of their target audience. So they spent a lot of energy trying to deceive people.
Hewitt is a poster boy for the GOP establishment. He was so enthusiastic about “severe conservative” Mitt Romney that he wrote a book promoting Romney for President. Hugh’s Harvard buddy Grover Norquist claimed credit for “converting” Hugh into a conservative but the evidence is in and Norquist was fooled.
Medved was one of the “second thoughts” leftists who decided to bandwagon for Reagan after McGovern’s and Carter’s foreign policy wasn’t “muscular” enough to suit them. These lefties rebranded themselves as “neocons”, and like cowbirds they shoved real conservatives out of the nest and in a hostile takeover. Other than hijacking America’s military for their own purposes they didn’t have any use for conservatives, especially Buchanan populists who they referred to as nazis.
Prager is different in that he’s what the late Larry Auster described as “a confused liberal”. He’s not purposely lying like the other two jokers. Prager just hangs on to a lot of liberal ideology that has caused the very problems that he sometimes recognizes. Nowhere is this more evident than in his ideas on immigration and race.
Here is one of them. I even have less respect for J.D. Vance after reading it. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/12/19/the-ceo-of-anti-woke-inc
That was my comment, lol.
Vivek will fit right in with the rino sellouts. He has recently come out for h1-bs. What a low life. You think him and Desantis may be looking to partner up. I would use this vote as a reference in the future, guys. Rinos in good standing, lol.

What the hell is the matter with these people? I know the answer. It was a rhetorical question.
