First comment:
The media has been discussing for weeks that China can sign onto the TPP at their leizure. If they do, this most definitely a bad trade deal. If they don’t, then they’re not restrained by copyright or patent laws.
Trump is right on this issue. TPP will be used as a ‘backdoor’ for China to harm us in future trade.
I highly recommend that your author dig a little deeper into this issue. Look for articles that were published pre-debate. You’ll see that he’s not making it up.
It seems you know more than Trump does, and that is the point...is it not?
Yes, and I just listen to it again. Trump is talking about trade for the whole region along with TPP. He wasn't exclusively confining his talk about TPP. The Washington Examiner doing a hit piece.
If China is willing to live up to the terms of the treaty why would their joining it be bad for the US?
Trump should have known and said that. I'm a Trump fan. I went to see him here in OKC. But yeah, that was not a good moment for him. He got it handed to him. And... I'm guessing he's already had a discussion, if not fired someone, for not prepping him for that answer.
