13. You figured him out. The 'Muslim socialist' has wanted to destroy America, now with "Obamatrade".

He toyed with us with the "impressive job growth" coming out of Bush's Great Recession but it was all part of his master plan to raise our hope just to dash them. Bush made no such complicated effort with his 'trickle-down' policies.

Not to worry. The far-right has wanted us out of "Obamatrade" for years. Their leading candidate will take us out of NAFTA with unilateral tariffs on Mexico; out of the WTO with the same unilateral action on China. They want us out of the UN too (One World Government in the making) but that is a whole other story. Indeed, Donald seems to pine for the glory days of Coolidge and Hoover with high tariffs, restricted immigration and historically high income inequality (even worse than today) before that danged FDR tied our hands with his international organizations that weakened our 'sovereign right' to place tariffs on anyone we wanted.

TPP may be bad on balance but I would hope that it is only the far-right that thinks Obama is proposing it in order to give all of our jobs away and turn us into "seat warmers". You and I may disagree with him on TPP but he may think that a "seat warmer" fate is more likely for us if we leave the WTO, NAFTA and other 'free trade' agreements which are currently in charge of our trading rules with TPP countries.
