Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) blasted President Trump on Monday, warning that his decision to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) will spark a wave of negative consequences.

“President Trump’s decision to formally withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a serious mistake that will have lasting consequences for America’s economy and our strategic position in the Asia-Pacific region," McCain said in a statement.

I love these kind of mistakes.

Trying to hawk the North American Community (Union), the CFR and the Goldman Chamber of Commerce is now going NO WHERE, under Trump 45.

If McCain says it’s bad then it must be good!

I’m sure what you meant to say is that you voted for Sarah Palin. Just like I did...just like millions of us did! ;)

Numbnutts McCain has to have skeletons. Trump’s job is to find them and shut him up for good. Him and Linda Graham.

This isn't why he's upset, his buddy BagDaddie could have been killed today, and he's just beside himself on this, as they have pictures all over the internet with the two of them along with ‘Egg McMuffin’, one even has Ambassador Stevens (RIP) with him and the ISIS idiots...

He is using this TTP as a cover...that's why he is called the ‘SongBird’....

McStain, ye of thee Golden Shower story, can screw himself after his attempt to screw the American people.

I’m not sure about this.

Sure there is the potential to impact relationships, but there is also the potential for nations to forge real bilateral relations together.

Could happen one way. Could happen another way.

Look an a renewed push for bilateral relationships, improving.

The John McCain who went to Vietnam never came back.

Yyyyyyyyyep!

[reasonisfaith]

President Trump is spoiling McCain’s plans to keep America in decline.

[RKBA Democrat]

A serious mistake from the perspective of his crony supporters.

[Qiviut]

Certain politicians thought it was a "good deal" for some reason .... a very smart, successful businessman does not & neither do the American people who elected that smart businessman to run the country.

[grumpygresh]

McLame doesn’t like it, that’s an endorsement. McLame doesn’t realize that his currency is negative among almost everyone.

Judging from the comments of this thread, FR is no longer a site that advocates lower taxes.

[The Toll]

Ah the media’s favorite democrat.

[Carl Vehse]

McCain’s stealing oxygen is a mistake.

[Scrambler Bob]

OK McCain — draw a red line on the Senate Floor.

McStain and his ilk wouldn’t have been happy until our unemployment was described as 2.5%, with 120 million able bodied people out of work.
