Canada Bends the Knee - New NAFTA/USMCA

[Cdub100 3,380]

Late last night, our deadline, we reached a wonderful new Trade Deal with Canada, to be added into the deal already reached with Mexico. The new name will be The United States Mexico Canada Agreement, or USMCA. It is a great deal for all three countries, solves the many deficiencies and mistakes in NAFTA, greatly opens markets to our Farmers and Manufacturers, reduce Trade Barriers to the U.S. and will bring all three Great Nations closer together in competition with the rest of the world. The USMCA is a historic transaction!

He just wins

[RLLD 3,455]

There are winners and losers in this thing. I can see where it might hurt some car sales by causing prices to rise and maybe even creating some small shortages in the small car markets, Trump seems to win big with this thing, I bet China is a little concerned in general.

If it's really a good deal for us then nice job Trump

100% agree. You have to give something to get something. End the end I think the Art of the deal gets us the best deal.

What's Krugman think of it ?

 

 

 

 

 

[TimmySmith 2,782]

Just verifies that the 8 years prior to Trump were a colossal failure to the American people.

[iam90sbaby 2,125]

Thanks Trump. Saving America.

[Kanil 519]

Anyone have a good link to details?

[SenatorRock 708]

Here is the press conference he held.

 

Jump to 55:00 to start

 

 

He is so entertaining to watch.

 

I don't know how Jared just stands there like a statue.

 

Mnuchin in the background with shades on like he just tooted some lines off an escorts cleavage.

 

 

1:01:10 is when he picks on the female reporter

[Filthy Fernadez 2,696]

Another promise that was made is kept.

 

When does the left finally admit the guy was the right choice for our country?

NYT..............still can't help themselves. 'U.S. and Canada Reach Trade Deal to Salvage Nafta'

 

NAFTA is dead.

[TimmySmith 2,782]

I fully expect unions to come out in high praise of the deal.

I have actually been impressed by everything but his environmental policy and the tax cuts

[LOD01 190]

Win after win after win. Only losers are the people not on board the Trump train but then what would you expect from retards.

[Voltaire 4,558]

Great win for Trump. Sometimes you need a guy who breaks things to fix them. Speaking for myself, this is my favorite thing hes done.

[Hardcore troubadour 12,631]

Many here thought he couldn't do it. Not that he was incapable, that he actually legally couldn't do it. Amazing that these people think they have a clue.

He has unorthodox diplomacy methods.

Nobel peace prize

[lickin_starfish 1,480]

I heard that Trump was blackout drunk at a party, where he grabbed Canada by the puzzy and ran a rape train on Mexico.

[kilroy69 994]

Nobel peace prize

hahaha. For the things he would do and being black.

I will wait to see the full terms of the final deal, but it sounds good.

[vuduchile 1,941]

So has NAFTA which H Ross referred to as that giant sucking sound been unaltered since Bush signed it back in the 90s?

[wiffleball 4,639]

So the only thing that's really changed fundamentally is the name. But hey, when all else fails? Change the name and declare victory. Wonder if we could dust off that whole mission accomplished Banner?

Of course. Then again, you tossed away any credibility years ago, so don't stop now.

Looks like a few changes here and there. Bottom line, though....we're looking at a zero sum game here.

[wiffleball 4,639]

If it weren't so sad for our producers, it would be funny. But the world has figured Don out pretty quickly. North Korea says Don got a great deal! Mexico says the same thing, Canada says the same thing, leather rinse repeat.

 

Meanwhile, they give nothing away except lip service and Trump gives away the fuucking Farm.

 

trumps the kind of guy who would brag about what a great deal on ice he got in Alaska.

 

 

"tremendous! Just tremendous! You know, a lot of people are saying this is a very best deal anyone in the history of ever has ever made! And I did it! Aren't you proud of me Daddy?"

yep, they actually interviewed one of the Dairy Farmers and that's almost Verbatim what she said.

 

And she was trying to support Trump. Bet she doesn't get invited to the next rally.

Seriously, Trump and his Kool aid crew have to be clearly deranged.

serious question for the lefties

 

I know TBBOM was a moderate dem type who has seemed to be pretty in favor of how things are going, but other than him

 

are there any of the board lefties who actually see what has been done (POLICY WISE) as a benefit to the country as a whole?

 

and maybe shifted themselves to middle/right?

 

I want to say from memory Mt Ski Bum's postings have radically changes in the last 6 months or so

 

correct me if I am wrong

Voltaire is the only one who has made a disturbing transformation. Titans just seems upset by the Kav hearings, but otherwise his politics are unchanged. And MTSki seems about the same as before.

 

There are a handful of people saying theyll never vote democrat again, but they were all conservative already - Kilroy and KSB come to mind.

 

In your opinion, which of his policies have benefitted the country as a whole?

[Djgb13 2,338]

I agree about the environmental policy. Not a fan of it at all. But I will day I like a lot more of the stuff hes done than stuff I hate
