12. What does Trump have to do with your post?

But I don't see any point to your pie-in-the-sky fantasyland stylings on NAFTA ("If a democrat would say to Mexico and Canada lets add environmental protections to NAFTA" - Huh? What "democrat"? When? What's the basis for your conclusion that Mexico and Canada would agree to negotiate "right now"?) or other trade issues.

Does your definition of "globalism" include environmental and labor issues on an equal footing, or not? Because right now, trade seems to be all about maximizing profits at the expense of air, water, and land, and the exploitation of the workers. Is that your vision of globalization or not? If so, then the globalism you're defending is indeed a bad thing. If not, then explain your terms.

Because right now, your point is meaningless.
