TPP was designed exclusively by and for BigCorp, BigPharma, BigFinance.

what was good, good, good about TPP?
I don't know nothin about it. All I knows is that Hillary Clinton, the most knowledgeable qualified candidate ever, said it was a bad deal for Murica. So I'm glad Donald Trump took Hillary's advice and cancelled the deal.
Hopefully we can start on getting the curry guzzling injuns and rice- ting ching-chongers out of our high paying office jobs.
It really was a good trade pact
Your knowledge of finance and economy is so re ed
TPP good now.

You don't like paying less for economic and consumer goods?

It was.
This reversal is an attempt to un his standing among farmers that took a hit after his ed trade war talk.
Obama negotiated a good deal.
Markets were down hard one day. They rebounded fully two or three days later and have been hitting close if not new highs.
Meh, up, down. Where they end up depends on where the trade talks go. Just wait until the Syria strikes, if any. My gut says the coward backs down on that, especially when Russia threatens him with their bookkeepers.
Trump finally realized that the TPP was a bargaining chip. Just took him a year.
His naïvetee and ignorance is appalling, and had led him to own goal after own goal. "America first" has meant "America alone", after alienating ally after ally after potential ally.
He has no clue where the real sources of American power are, and that leads him to view all his problems as nails.
Those people don't understand or give a about the TPP.

I understand markets go up and down. But where is this hit that most farmers took? Guess I'd need details. The market hasn't responded like the news would like you to believe. If I remember right, November soybeans (number one export of the number one category, ag) at worst was down .56. It finished that day at. 34 down. That was pretty impressive.
The TPP was going to kill jobs!
Poor idiotic rednecks
I'll make a great deal with China
So you still believe that lie? You think by and large Americans save money?
Such trade agreements exist only to further enrich businesses at the expense of their American labor force. Businesses love forcing Americans to compete with impoverished ignorant indoctrinated third world laborers. Rather than raise wages to meet the cost of paying Americans a fair wage based upon our standard of living, they “lower” prices by eliminating Westerners from the picture.
The reality is that many Americans see real losses of buying power despite a drop in prices.
Of course, such a system is fatally flawed in that it directly assaults consumers, and threatens the American “way of life.” Potential losses from lack of wages as well as insurmountable backlashes from the serfs are directly offset by the largest corporate (social) welfare system ever implemented.
Our best defense against globalism is refusing to take part. The reality is, we don’t need free trade agreements to acquire cheap labor. Undo ented migrant workers throughout the southern USA may attest to that (which is the primary reason seemingly common sense immigration reform remains impossible - illegal immigrants are very solidly a net positive economically).
Mr President:
You had one job.
90% of manufacturing jobs lost since the 1950s are lost due to automation but no one talks about that because demonizing robots is not as much fun as demonizing China or immigrants. IPhones would cost like $2k if you made them over the same with some of these TVs.

Bringing all manufacturing back here would bring back like 100k jobs and only over everyone who wants to buy a phone or a TV. Re ed
Automation will within a few decades replace most laborers. For instance, long haul truck drivers will no longer be needed by the end of the the next decade. This will substantially reduce prices and create a cheap labor force without any need for a free trade agreement which purposely s workers.
Automation creates new kinds of jobs though. I have a job doing search engine evaluation which helps Google and Bing interpret and check their algorithms. This type of job didn't exist 20 years ago. It's time to move on from manufacturing see what jobs have good outlooks and go into those. Like these coal miners are being offered free training to become nurses which there is a huge demand for but many are refusing training because they think coal is coming back
