    I think that applies to a lot of his “policy”.

    Right. Now that the TPP countries have moved on... good luck.

    • Healthcare can be so complicated and
    • Trade wars inflict wounds on both sides

    The only thing worse than Trump's grasp of TPP was Hillary's inexplicably showing weakness by changing her views on a pact meant to contain China

    It is because it's what helped him get elected. What could be worse than that?

    Yeah, people didn't vote for Clinton because she waffled on TPP.

    I bet you about .005% of Trump voters know what TPP stands for and what it means.

    That's exactly why it killed her!

    Trump, "Hillary supports TPP which is just like NAFTA"

    Hillary, "Well, I changed my position and don't support it any longer"

    Guess how that looked to the 35 million people watching the debate?

    Think about where she got clobbered - it was the Rust Belt. The region of the country decimated by the loss in manufacturing which they blame on things like NAFTA. Trump's played his trade cards very well.

    Trump is showing great leadership by choosing a trade pact that helps American farmers. Hillary didn't have the guts to back TPP. Trump does. Once again...MAGA!

    It'll be way better than their existing Pacific Partnership.

    We're talking big league gold standard.

    A Golden PP for America!

    Believe me, you'll love it!!

    For the past few months, some of the most powerful men in China — allies of President Xi Jinping with longstanding ties and deep experience with the United States — have been casting about for a better understanding of Mr. Trump and how to respond to his combative trade agenda, according to several people they have consulted.
    ...
    “Chinese experts do not understand the current state of the United States,” said Jie Zhao, a professor at the China Executive Leadership Academy Pudong, which trains senior civil servants in Shanghai. “They do not understand Trump, do not understand his team and do not understand the source of his policies.”
