NAFTA…The North American Free Trade Agreement…born on January 1, 1994…it’s a deal among the governments of the U S, Mexico and Canada.
One group has stated:
“Negotiated behind closed doors with hundreds of official corporate advisors, NAFTA was radically different than past trade deals that focused on traditional trade matters, like cutting border taxes. Instead, most of NAFTA’s provisions grant new powers and privileges to multinational corporations.”
So Trump recently spoke out decisively against NAFTA—and as in any situation where he speaks at all, he’s attacked by the press.
Here is a pop quiz. Here are three statements about NAFTA. You decide who uttered them.
ONE: “…most of NAFTA’s provisions grant new powers and privileges to multinational corporations. These new powers make it easier for corporations to outsource jobs…NAFTA’s ‘investor protections’ create incentives for corporations to relocate production and jobs elsewhere. Indeed, the U.S. has lost more than 950,000 American jobs due to NAFTA, according to the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) database.”
“Plus, NAFTA guts the Buy American policies that require the government to buy American-made goods when spending our tax dollars. This outsources our tax dollars rather than investing them to create jobs here.”
“NAFTA has also lowered U.S. wages, increased inequality, and hurt U.S. manufacturing and agriculture in all 50 states. At the same time, it has decimated the Mexican economy, driving millions from their homes.”
TWO: “I will fundamentally rewrite NAFTA, other trade agreements…Not only did I oppose permanent normal trade relations with China, I stood with Steel workers and united electrical workers in opposition to it…Normalized trade with China cost us 3.2 million jobs including over 120,000 here in Pennsylvania.”
THREE: “Remember, NAFTA was one of the WORST Trade Deals ever made. The U.S. lost thousands of businesses and millions of jobs. We were far better off before NAFTA – should never have been signed. Even the Vat Tax was not accounted for. We make new deal or go back to pre-NAFTA!”
OK? Ready with your answers? Yes, you guessed correctly from recognizing the rhetoric—statement 3 was written by President Trump (an additional part to that statement was also tweeted here).
Statement 1 was written by Lori Wallach, who works for Ralph Nader’s group, Public Citizen, which is decidedly on the political Left. And statement number 2 was made by none other than presidential candidate and avowed socialist, Bernie Sanders.
What’s the main difference between these three characters? Wallach and Sanders can say anything they want to, and the amount of heat coming their way is relatively minor. No matter what Trump says, he gets heat. And yet…
On this MAJOR issue, NAFTA, and free-trade treaties in general, Wallach, Sanders, and Trump are in agreement. They all see the insanity and criminality. A socialist, a far-left activist, and a bull capitalist.
Thus demonstrating that, for the press, it matters not what you say, it only matters who they decide you are.
And they decide who you are according to an agenda. Whose agenda? Simple: Rockefeller Globalists, who love free trade treaties, who have spent decades crafting them and foisting them on the public, who see President Trump as a wild card unpredictable swaggering cowboy…

I would rather have the unpredictable swaggering cowboy (?) Trump negotiating for the American people than international corporate interests who want low wages (slave labor) and no taxes for themselves.
Countries all over the Globe have been raping America with their sweet trade imbalances, and taking away our sovereignty in trade scams. NO MORE! Enough is enough.
Ahh yes. The kosher media – It worked for WW1 and 2 and pretty much EVERY war / military “action” since then;
“Thanks to the terrible power of our international banks, we have forced the Christians into wars without number. Wars have a special value for Jews, Since Christians massacre each other and make more room for us Jews. Wars are the Jews’ Harvest, The Jew banks grow fat on Christian wars. Over 100 million Christians have been swept off the face of the earth by wars and the end is not yet.”

President threatens World Trade Organization withdrawal…
https://www.bloombergquint.com/business/2018/08/30/trump-says-he-will-pull-u-s-out-of-wto-if-they-don-t-shape-up
The hardest working Prez! — while the elites are on vaca and don’t come back to work until the UN reconvenes in NYC in mid-Sept!
Those in the Atlantic Council just received word of Trump’s comments from their yachts.
“[the withdrawal could undermine] the post-World War II system that the U.S. helped build.”
” … who see President Trump as a wild card unpredictable swaggering cowboy…”
… and Hell’s coming with him.
It is so easy to figure this out.
Not only did NAFTA, but every other nations tried to rip op the USA. on trade deals.
WHY? Because the New World Order needs the USA to financially go bankrupt if they want their globalist wet dream to come to life. There cannot be a globalist government without the USA.
Trump screwed them all. The US economy has never been that good.
So, by by NWO.
Yee Haw! I reckon I’ll take the swaggering cowboy any day of the week. He’s got more business sense in his little finger than most of the “financial guru’s” have in their entire air-filled heads.
Go President Trump! MAGA.
Trump will set back the globalist agenda as much as one man possibly can. Use the time that Trump is buying for the deplorables wisely.
The Tower of Babel 2.0 Benetton ad that the inbred “elites” dream of will never happen.
There is this thing called human nature that the statist utopians never even consider.

NAFTA has always been a bad deal for America. Look at the trade deficits we have ran for decades for proof.
Hello!
Being gladly a non-American, I always say that mutTrump is the best president the USA as always had!
And watching from outside the US bubble and after the recent good death of the warmonger and terrorist McCain I’ve realized that if Hitler was still alive and was ANTI-Trump if he died tomorrow he would receive the same moronic show that McCain received.
Trump, NAFTA and the globalist media, a lesson in total deception.
As I have posted here before, I predicted in 2012 a ‘Trojan horse’ republican would be ‘selected’ to run and WIN as a populous president of USA. Not even I could have predicted that republican voters would have been dumb enough to be duped by one of the biggest and most obvious globalist shills there is in… “‘I’ll say anything you want to hear” Donald Trump. Yet, here we are. However, I also predicted in 2012 that in order for this ‘deception’ to ‘sell’, the very globalist’s who own both the media and the ‘Trojan Horse populous’ himself, would have to attack the horse endlessly. … and here we are.
Trump, surrounded by Goldman Sachs deep state swamp creatures have used deception and the “oh don’t throw me into the Briar patch” media to SELL the idea that lord and savior Trump is somehow ending NAFTA. However, actually looking into the ‘end of NAFTA’ deal itself we see that in fact you have NAFTA on steroids. A globalist friendly Mexico centric NAFTA deal, that not even the globalist friendly Canadian government can sell to their own people.
Here are the bullet points on the globalist so-called NAFTA ‘disappearing act’…
All US trade deals are secretly negotiated behind closed doors, corporate predators having final say over what’s agreed on, assuring they’re granted new powers and privileges.
No more ‘sunset’ provisions ending disastrous trade deals.
So-called Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) facilitates offshoring of jobs to low-wage countries.
The so-called investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) system grants corporate predators the right to sue governments for virtually unlimited compensation before a rigged panel of three corporate lawyers – their ruling final, not subject to appeal.
ISDS incentivizes offshoring of jobs by providing special privileges and rights for firms relocating operations abroad – facilitating a global race to the bottom.
This no NAFTA agreement is a Bilderberg off shore fast-track race to the bottom, making Mexico the new globalist slave labor China-esq cesspit.

I worked for a start-up company when NAFTA was being promoted. The company CFO thought it was a great deal and supported it. A year later he realized the damage it was doing and regretted his earlier support. I knew from the beginning he was being snowed and opposed it.
If the CFO had been taught basic Economics (required in high school when I attended) and explored the principles of Free Trade he would not have been bamboozled by the propaganda.
People need to understand the principles of free trade and the economic destruction of protectionist solutions to market changes. Free Trade published by FEE is a good start.
Citizens should also realize the Federal Constitution supports protectionist policies, beginning with Article I, Section 8, paragraph 3, and subsequent entries empowering Congress to tax, duty, tariff, impost, and otherwise interfere with the normal flow of market transactions.
