Has Mr. Trump explained that fair trade is good for all countries involved?
We hear that the US balance of trade is massively negative with China, Mexico and others. The US economy, unemployment and national debt numbers show that the US is in serious trouble. Over time the US population will not have the disposable income to buy from other countries. Isn't it short sighted to harm a trading partners ability to be a customer over the long term. Perhaps Mr. Trump can explain, perhaps by historical example, how it is foolish to abuse a trading partner, weakening that country over time. Maybe Argentina would be a good example? Perhaps Mr. Trump, by correcting unfair trade, would be doing the US trading partners a favor if one looks at the longer term.

Many years ago fair trade was how the world operated. I think it came to a screeching end when Clinton signed NAFTA. America went down the tubes while all other countries benefited. Jobs left with the free trade.

Many of the young people today have no idea how great America used to be. They think Trump is inventing something new. Nope. Trump wants us to be like we used to be years ago with lots of jobs, decent wages, food grown and processed in America, and NO WARS.

We don't have fair trade.
Those deals are all one-sided affairs.
Now go complain about that.

You are not alone in that thinking!

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Ohio lost 112,500 jobs in 2015 resulting from the United States’ trade deficit with countries that are part of the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, according to an analysis by the Economic Policy Institute. ...

The report says that the TPP should include “a set of restrictions and/or enforceable penalties against member countries that engage in currency manipulation.” ...

“Omitting currency rules from the TPP benefits Wall Street, making the TPP a tool for off-shoring jobs, not for job creation,” he wrote. “If Congress is waiting for more evidence that TPP is a bad deal, this is it.” ...

Sanfordbill:
In Pennsylvania we don’t lose jobs to TPP countries, we tax our companies out of the state. Trump should easily take Ohio and Pennsylvania just addressing the job losses.

When I say FAIR trade, I am meaning actual decent and honorable trade in this thread. IE. no currency manipulation or worker or environmental abuse. No secret agreements, all disclosed and openly accepted by the citizens of the respective countries involved.
