Yessiree. That support for TPP
Ron DeSantis voted to give President Obama “fast-track” authority
Not much interest in strengthening US manufacturing sector.

DeSantis expressed skepticism about Trump-era tariffs on steel and aluminum. DeSantis said the best approach would be as “temporary leverage,” expressed concern for industries downstream of aluminum and steel production and retaliation against US farmers, and seemed to express support for maximizing exemption.

DeSantis said people could “debate” whether “tariffs [were] the best way” to address questionable Chinese trade practices. (That’s a great way to avoid taking action)
DeSantis said he had opposed tariffs throughout his congressional career. (Shows no understanding of the effect of balance of trade on American economy)

Despite warnings about the system’s fragility, Ron DeSantis failed to address the state’s unemployment system before the pandemic. When the crisis hit, it was Floridians who paid the price, unable to access earned benefits — or even get their phone calls answered by DeSantis’ bureaucracy.

Lots not to like.
