You’re all over the place. You like the TPP, the TPP is crap because of the US (under Obama) added things you don’t like, Trump is an idiot for not signing it.

You’re all over the place. You like the TPP, the TPP is crap because of the US (under Obama) added things you don’t like, Trump is an idiot for not signing it.
Agreements that can’t be read and comprehended in one day aren’t good agreements. I stand by that, no matter what Trump says, no matter what you say.
I’m not arguing about trade imbalances on a surplus/deficit amount. I don’t care about the amount. I care about access to markets and a level playing field. There is no hypocrisy there.
The difference between you and I, is that I’m willing to admit where you are right. The US subsidizes farmers and other industries. I imagine those are up for negotiation too.
I also admit Trump acts like a horses ass. I’m just willing to let that slide if he’s an effective horses ass.
I also haven’t implied you’re stupid.
- endorphone 8y agoI didn't say I like or dislike the TPP agreement, so I'm not sure where you get that from. Trump had no notable objection to it, beyond his normal pejoratives and limited palette of adjectives, when ultimately it addresses precisely many of his complaints. Because he isn't arguing merits, or what's best for the US. He's pitching a grand show for his base.
