The TPA gave the president authority over trade deals. Without the TPA, the TPP would not have been able to be voted on. So you are naturally dead wrong. Your guy is a globalist liar.
Huh? I said he backed TPA but not TPP. What part of that doesn’t jive with what you stated?
Geez. I’m just asking...are you one of the uneducated people that Trump loves so much?
The president has always had the authority to negotiate trade deals. What TPA has done for the past 40 years is set out the guidelines Congress expects the president to follow. If he follows those guidelines, then the deal gets an up or down vote. If he doesn't, the deal can be amended, filibustered, etc. Every president since Ford has had TPA...
TPP would have been voted on whether TPA was in effect or not. And if either house of Congress determined that the president did not follow the guidelines laid out in TPA, either one could have voided the Fast Track authority for TPP.
You have no idea what you are talking about - you are just repeating your Trumpkin talking points.
