So.... The "master negotiator" took two years to sign an agreement that is pretty much the same exact agreement that we had before. The only difference between the two agreements is we can sell three percent more milk to Canada but we have to pay Mexico to fly illegals to South America?
This is not winning. This is nothing more than repackaging an existing agreement and giving it a new name and saying it's better.
This quote says it all:
Trump’s new NAFTA—the one he wrecked diplomatic relations with Canada and roiled currency markets in order to secure—is basically Obama’s T.P.P., with Obama’s name papered over by a gilded TRUMP sticker. Now that the deed is done, one wonders what all the fuss was really for, aside from the optics. “The reality is that America has expended a tremendous amount of national political capital for pretty modest changes,” observes James Pethokoukis of the American Enterprise Institute."
Our GDP under Trump is STILL LESS than under Trump.
BTW, our deficit went up 32% last year alone. #winning.
