Our Tremendous Trade Representative, Robert Lighthizer:
Da Nang, Vietnam – United States Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer today released the following statement in response to President Trump’s speech on trade between the United States and the Indo-Pacific region, at the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) CEO Summit:
“The President spoke loud and clear: the era of trade compromised by massive state intervention, subsidies, closed markets and mercantilism is ending. Free, fair and reciprocal trade that leads to market outcomes and greater prosperity is on the horizon.
“President Trump understands that too many nations talk about free trade abroad, only to shield their economies behind tariff and non-tariff barriers at home. The United States will no longer allow these actions to continue, and we are willing to use our economic leverage to pursue truly fair and balanced trade.
“I look forward to doing as the President instructed me and to pursue policies that will improve the lives of our workers, farmers and ranchers.”

Tnat's pure bullshit. ISIS was a product of bush, plain and simple. It's been well researched and documented time and time again. Wilful ignorance isn't the same as factual information. . ISIS was being set back steadily town by town before trump took office. The russians did a lot more to defeat isis than trump.So did the kurds who trump threw under a bus.
anon_c1934 saysWhat were his promises and what has he done? I take it that in your fevered imagination he defeated ISIS. Bizarre.
Trump contributed to their demise, while Obama contributed to their rise.

ISIS became a fucking Empire right before Obama's eyes. He did nothing but play politics. It was the Russians who finally decided to do something about ISIS. When Trump came in, he joined the Russians to finish them off.
All Obama did was set red lines, which simply got shifted every time they were crossed.

Yes, finally great minds such a Donald Trump and T-Lips will get to use their immense powers of reasoning to improve our economy by imposing country by country trade deals.
Don't we all know that what Donald wants the most, even more than he wants lower taxes for his friends is a few years of rampant inflation (yo know the kind where assets inflate far more than wages). SOme people didn't realize when Donald was talking about "so much winning" that he wasn't thinking about the little guy.
Exactly what I wanted

Though apparently you are quite happy to do that.
Nuance really isn't your strong point, is it?

Don't let FACTS get in the way of your twisted narrative

And a third ignore.
NAFTA created millions tons of high wage jobs, aka "Jobs of the Future", eh?
Getting flak because we're over the target.
#MAGA.

Trump is trying to get the economy moving again. Nothing helps the "little guy" more than a healthy economy.

I'm not so ignorant that I don't know the troop withdrawal was an agreement made by bush.The status of forces agreement. Oh you didn't know that somehow?
There are these amazing places called bookstores and libraries. Really it's true. You go there and there are a bunch of these things called books. Really it's true. You can either buy or borrow these books. Really it's true. If you went to places like that you could get books that would lift the veil of ignorance you two are operating under. Start with Black Flags, Anatomy of Terror (this by the FBI's top terrorism expert), and Black Banners.
The creation and rise of ISIS was totally the result of the Bush administration actions and policies. Actually fuckups more than anything. That is not debatable. The failure to contain the expansion of ISIS in Iraq is totally Obama's fault. He was trying to abide by bush's troop withdrawal agreement with Iraq which Iraq insisted on maintaining far too long. There is no way logistically the US could have done anything to prevent ISIS expansion in Syria no matter who was president.
Last time I checked the kurds and the iraq army are finishing off ISIS. Of the 60,000 ISIS killed in Iraq since 2014 50,000 were killed before trump took office. I guess accounting for 90% of dead ISIS fighters is sitting around playing politics.
Ignorance seems to be your choice. Obama let them march right in.
U.S. troop withdrawal let Islamic State enter Iraq, military leaders say.

No more Multinational Corporate Oligarch-designed "multilateral" trade. Just one-on-one bilateral trade. Exactly what I want to hear from a POTUS, FINALLY.
And exactly 0 Democrats or Mainstream Republican candidates would have delivered on this. Certainly not Corrupt Clinton, Jeb!!!, or Rubio.
