Trump preparing withdrawal from South Korea trade deal

3. Doesn't Bernie Sanders Strongly Support This Move, Too?

Bernie Sanders and Trump are on the same page on this. Here is be Bernie attacking this agreement:

“Since 2001, nearly 60,000 manufacturing plants in this country have been shut down and we have lost over 4.7 million decent paying manufacturing jobs. NAFTA has led to the loss of nearly 700,000 jobs. PNTR with China has led to the loss of 2.7 million jobs. Our trade agreement with South Korea has led to the loss of about 75,000 jobs. While bad trade agreements are not the only reason why manufacturing jobs in the U.S. have declined, they are an important factor.”

Sanders voted No on the South Korea Free Trade Agreement, quantitatively the biggest agreement since NAFTA. And the Colombia Free Trade Agreement. And Panama.

The difference is that while Trump's anti-immigration and anti-trade stances are motivated by racism and xenophobia, Bernie's stances are motivated by concern for working class Americans.
