So Lone wolf what u think... After ten decades of forcing countries to open markets this happens.......?

I believe in free trade. ...is this what we can expect from now on? Honestly... I have about 30 K in my pension invested in US focused funds... US bring down the shutters the value of these funds will rocket..

Clinton said she would have withdrawn from TPP also, but we all know how that goes. She would have gotten in there and done nothing while her foundation quietly collected donations from those for and against it, who would be trying to sway her decision. For the new billionaires in town those relatively miniscule donations don’t mean a think.

This will mean Asia will look to China and weaken US influence.....combined with the questions about China in Africa... A resurgence of yellow peril paranoia...

Me thinks it is much to do about nothing... Capitalism follows cheap labor. The only way US companies can stay competitive in the US and abroad is cheap labor. Trump can renegotiate NAFTA or withdraw from TPP, but the bottom line is still the bottom line.

Producing products at the cheapest cost and highest profit is business 101. Agree or disagree?
