GOP presidential candidate and billionaire businessman Donald Trump slammed President Obama’s trade agreements – especially the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) – which Obama argued the United States needs in order to better compete with China.
However, according to a recent report by Politico, China may be trying to enter the TPP – defeating Obama’s main argument for finalizing the deal.
“Of course China wants to join the trade negotiation because the deal is so pathetic and so bad,” Trump told Breitbart News.
He added that China would continue to take advantage of America’s stupid politicians, who don’t know what they’re doing.
Trump warned several weeks ago that China could come in through a docking agreement, which would allow a country – like China – to come into the agreement at the back end.
Trump said Obama’s negotiations are “so weak and so pathetic,” adding that America has “incompetent people” negotiating this agreement
Trump said the TPP would be a terrible agreement for jobs in this country, and that America is already losing a fortune to China – adding that it is hard to believe it’s going to get worse.

You are unable to show any of the observations of
‘Fast Track’ Cruz’s shameless performance to be inaccurate.
Trade is important but only if you are making a profit. America consistently loses on these negotiated trade deals but the globalists and our enemies get rich. Sorry for the redundancy, the globalist elites are our greatest enemies.
Have you read Trump’s book, “The Art of the Deal?” Any deal he makes would truly benefit all Americans, not just the exalted few.
As a conservative myself I DO NOT Support Ted Cruz. His vote on the TPA and his desire to increase the Visa program for foreign workers. Please as a conservative will you bash me too as I do not support Cruz. America needs jobs. It does not need anymore politicians whom claim one thing and vote another way, and than spend days trying to explain away their vote like they are superior to the voter and taxpayer. I do not give a rat’s backside for a guy that just two years ago had dual citizenship, than he claims he has ObamaCare when in fact he does not have federal insurance, his insurance is still through his wife’s employer Goldman sachs. As a voter I saw Representative Paul Ryan claim a lot and now after the fact he has turned tail and supports many of the same things he claimed he would rid DC of. Ted Cruz is no different than Paul Ryan!
I’m not saying he’s not a savvy guy, just that I don’t think he’s in it to win the presidency so much as shape the race. I haven’t read his book, but might have to pick it up :)
I am hoping Donald can just kill this thing dead. Its a monster. The Republicans will go for it no matter what.
“Diogenes keeps leaving out Walker, who supports both TPA and TPP”
And Walker wishes the Patriot Act would come back one day.
That’s because I agree with Cruz. I don’t think he is inaccurate.
Yeah. There is a profound reason why they call it Obamatrade.
The campaign fight I wanted was Ted Cruz as George Washington leading the second American Revolution. That’s the fight I would have shown up for.
Yes, I am a silly romantic - that we could do this. But he supported the one President that abhors our union. I weep.
I keep hoping Ted will wake up and vote no the second time around. IMO the only two candidates who can take out Shrillary in the general election are Trump and Cruz. If we nominate any of the others just start practicing saying President Clinton.
What the heck is that supposed to mean? I see a box of Swiss chocolates on a shelf, and I buy it. Whose profit am I worried about, exactly?
Trade imbalances typically are about trade my friend.
Uh, ok. Am I in hock to the rest of the world because I bought a BMW? Or because my government spends $1.40 for every $1.00 it takes in?
I hope Trump wins for one reason. Once he’s in office he will have a huge investigative agency to PROVE Obama wasn’t eligible to be president. He’s cooled the BC talk for now. But I think he still believes Obama is a fraud.
Not getting into whether Perot helped Clinton or not, but he did say something that’s apropos today. The one criteria for whether or not a treat (or trade agreement) should be approved is “Is it good for America?”. For some reason the politicians of the two parties don’t believe that to be the case.
I tend to agree with you. I’ve noticed that the gopE doesn’t seem to bash Cruz anymore. Wonder why that is.
You’re probably a screw everyone else, I got mine kind of guy but of course I was referring to trade between nations.
No, not at all, but thanks for your concern. “Trade between nations?” What does that mean? The U.S. government is not buying those bananas from Chile, I am.
Trade imbalance, say it with me, TRADE IMBALANCE.
