Trump’s NAFTA Threat Produces Instant Results
There was a flurry of panic from both Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill on Wednesday when Politico – and, later, The New York Times – reported that President Trump was on the verge of pulling the U.S. out of the North American Free Trade Agreement via executive order. In their original story, Politico quoted several Republicans – most of whom have been consistent in their criticism of Trump – who said that a full withdrawal would be a disastrous mistake.
“I think we’d better be careful about unintended consequences,” said Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn. “It’s inconsistent with what Wilbur Ross had told me previously about their intention, which was to update NAFTA, not to withdraw from it.”
Sen. John McCain, who always manages to find a microphone when the liberal media comes looking for, um, bipartisan criticisms of the president, said, “I’d be glad to have renegotiation of some of the terms of [NAFTA], because a lot of time has passed.” But, McCain said, withdrawing from the trade pact would “be disgraceful and a disaster.”
McCain’s bestest buddy, Lindsey Graham, echoed those sentiments. “Trying to negotiate NAFTA makes sense,” he said, “but withdrawing from it doesn’t.”
Well…as Trump said many times on the campaign trail, you can’t get Canada and Mexico to the negotiating table if you aren’t willing to pull out of the deal altogether. Why would they willingly give up their economic advantages if the U.S. said, “Well, if you don’t wanna, there’s really nothing we can do about it…”?
Remarkably, President Nieto and Prime Minister Trudeau placed emergency calls to President Trump almost immediately after the news broke. Funny how that works…
“I received calls from the President of Mexico and the Prime Minister of Canada asking to renegotiate NAFTA rather than terminate,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “I agreed subject to the fact that if we do not reach a fair deal for all, we will then terminate NAFTA. Relationships are good — deal very possible!”
In an official statement, Trump said, “It is my privilege to bring NAFTA up to date through renegotiation. It is an honor to deal with both President Peña Nieto and Prime Minister Trudeau, and I believe that the end result will make all three countries stronger and better.”
You won’t be surprised, of course, to see the media portraying this as another Trump Blunder. Oh, he went and stepped in it this time, and Nieto and Trudeau had to yank him back into reality.
Nonsense. This is what hardball negotiations are all about, and this is what separates Trump from the rest of the do-nothing politicians in Washington. If Trump is able to secure U.S. workers a better deal through NAFTA, he will only be able to do so BECAUSE he is willing and ready to scrap the deal completely.
Any third grader could understand these tactics, but apparently the logic still eludes the power elite in D.C.
Go for it, Mr. Trump! And if they give you any lip pull out!
Go Trump so our Truck Drivers are put back to work and not to Mexican and Canadian Truck Drivers who can drive their loads as far into the U.S. and then return with loads to Mexico and Canada. They are not Immigrants but non-immigrants who cant go beyond the 25 mile limits from the Borders.
Muzrats drivers can do even better running over the crowds. Hire them more!
President Trump has got to be the best president we have had in a very long time. Unfortunately, as soon as the Democrats take back the office, they will destroy everything he is doing.
Then we have to make sure that doesn’t happen.
Did the last 8 years work for you?
Yes, Trump is the best Pres. ever!!! I believe that Pres. Trump is setting a precedence of how government can and should be run from right now and in the future. So, it is up to us – WE THE PEOPLE to set the bar for every incoming politician to qualify and fill an office. It is also up to US to push hard for LIMITED TERMS ONLY for congressional representatives henceforth. There is nothing that says that WE CAN NOT DEMAND how Congress will be run from now on. WE HAVE THE POWER TO SAY WHO AND HOW our government is to be run. Why should be go backwards and accept anything less than great?
If you voted for the Stump, you have already gone backward and accepted everything less than great. You’ll see.
berg1928, you seem to have a lot of opinions but have yet to post any facts or data to support your opinion…….. and with all due respect to you….. it is President Trump….. no one voted for a stump which is a part of a tree
Well, Trump has me stumped and I’m stumped as to why he is so popular.
Well, idiots and morons DO have a hard time understanding anything intelligent and you just set the standard for That.
You would be understood if you ever wrote anything intelligent and forgo the toilet talk.
Sure.
That’ll happen.
YOU THE TOILET TRASH LIBERAL IDIOT LOOK AT YOU WITH ALL THIS HATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/bd04e5ee9ad9a6f89928248f35f9875a1e4879e45a2394773438bc9539d99b74.jpg
So therefore, that automatically makes him inferior? No supportive facts, only conjecture!
Then you must be very young with no comparisons.
President Trump has started making America great again in spite of all the children whining and wringing their hands. I’m 75 and I can assure you he has come out of the starting gate like none I’ve ever seen before him.
Maybe because he is fulfilling all promises he made to his voters. Maybe because he has already created a huge amount of jobs. Maybe because he has already stopped illegal immigration by 70 percent. Maybe because he actually listens to his military experts. There is just a few examples for you why the President is popular. And what do you know, those are facts.
Because you at are ignorant and pathetic =AMERICA WON you lost!

Better stop sniffing the hillary farts and scooping up the lefty dimocrap poop.
He lives in the dumpster where Hillary puts her depends .
You’ll see. Just hide and watch!
You know what I see? A bunch of crybaby liberals that have a temper tantrum every time our president does anything that benefits all americans. You need to give facts about what it is that you have so much problem with.
Don’t bother.Block the libtard.
I’ve heard Hillary called many things but, till now. never a Stump.
Buzz of Bozo!
YOU VOTED FOR THE JIVE TALKIN FOOL…FOOL LOL https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/17703b5e1ce479403120192034c5ab45142279ba18e2a8fe0409f6c6affc94e7.jpg
If you really want Term Limits for Congress, and I do too, we really need a Convention of States to change the Constitution. Congress will never vote to limit their terms.
I have faith in the magnificent brain that God gave man. If there is a WILL, THERE IS A WAY. Everything worth having is worth working for and some day – WE THE PEOPLE who put the people into Congress, can dictate on election platforms – promises in writing to adhere that they will not seek beyond a limit # of terms. I believe it can be done without going through the Constitution. If we can’t do it federally – we’ll limit through the State. We the People must take our power back and use it for the betterment of the whole. Yes, a longer process but WE CAN DO IT.
It will never happen federally. Let’s face it. Nobody is going to vote to take themselves out of office after a set number of years when they are making millions every year. Going through the States is what I was talking about. A Convention of States will put it in the Constitution so that Congress has to obey it. Otherwise, it is business as usual.
It’s great to see Trump finally get some help from democrats including McCain and Graham! Couldn’t have gotten Mexico & Canada to the negotiation faster otherwise. They just had Art of the Deal read to them. Thanks for MAGA
Good grief, I hope so. This guy is will be the ruination of our country.
another post with just an opinion…… please enlighten us all with your facts
He’ll supply all the facts himself and needs no assistance from me.
More of the idiocy from a total moron that escaped his padded room.
Thats because you don’t have any. You people crack me up.
Their minds are made up. They won’t be confused by facts. Besides, I don’t have the crayons to explain it to them.
LMAO! Too funny! And very true by the way.
Drawing them a picture would not help .
Everyone here is posting an opinion. Only time will tell if Trump is as marvelous as some think or as bad as some others think.
Back to your toilet bowl cleaning snowflake and the brown playdoh you find in the bowl.
He iis the Demon Rat play dough .
Thanks Pam. Your sarcastic humor always makes my day!
I notice you have a liking for poop, toilets, brown play do and other excrement remarks. I’m happy for you that you find comfort in such a pastime. Your mommies must every proud that you so freely insult whose opinion differs from yours. Your opinion, my opinion, and the opinions of anyone is merely their personal opinions, Ms. Snowflake
Can’t resist the potty (non) humor)
If you really consider this your country then how about standing aside and give the man a chance. What have you got to lose that the majority of the people on here doesn’t?
Explain why?
Obama already ruined it TRUMP is fixing it you liberal moron! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a014f9838320e190e6af1c2575ee5ed5d7bcd50818eec07989ea9a6defe54463.jpg
I love to read these desperate efforts by intelligent Republicans to cover up the relentless nonsense that flows from the Republican President. Why don’t the smart Republicans communicate with the White House before the President does something as embarrassing as threatening NAFTA?
From what I can tell, Trump is a lot smarter and more savvy and looks out for Americans a lot better than those so called “smart republicans” you speak of.
I didn’t vote for him but so far, I’m more impressed with him that I am of all of the previous presidents since Calvin Coolidge.
He is far from being perfect but if you care about your country, you should be supporting him.
I read that as saying that Trump is smarter than most Repubicans.
Wow! That sure washes the Republican Party down the drain! Would you want him to marry your daughter?
GO AWAY TROLL!?
A$$HOLE, IMBECILIC TROLL, eh ? Go back and crawl into your SNOWFLAKE SAFE PLACE !!!!!
No, but he has forgotten more than someone like you will ever know.
Marry my daughter? Ye gods, hell no!
Did someone leave the “dildo door” open? ???
I know Tommy – the guy who built a multi billion dollar empire that employs about 34,000 people is an idiot and doesn’t know what he is talking about. Good thing we have a genius like you around. How’s Mom’s basement working out? Comfortable enough?
You got the wrong guy, Mike. I’m the one who wrote the two billion dollar loan agreement between the US Treasury and New York City when the US bailed out NYC back in the ’70’s.
If Idots had wings you would be flying .You expect people to buy that line of BS ???
Go crawl back into your hole, snowflake.
If you can’t understand that NAFTA has put us at a serious trade disadvantage for over 20 years, then Trump is not the one who’s embarrassing. Our trade deficit on softwood from Canada alone was almost $6 billion last year. And they’re manipulating the cost of milk, almost putting our dairy farmers out of business. Go Trump. It’s about time this country had a leader that actually understands trade
Just a good thing that President Trump doesn’t listen to idiots like you.
Thank you, Tommy T
please let us know how many successful contracts you have completed were you made money for yourself or were you work. If you only have an opinion with not experience with contract then please post this is just my opinion with no fact or experiences to back it up.
I do this only because you have asked. I was born gifted and gained from it — you have, basically, asked for my credentials.
I am an honors graduate of Harvard Law School, a retired partner from a Boston law firm that was founded in the 19th century and ranked 10th in the world by the Financial Times of London. When active as an attorney, I was a frequent participant in the meetings of the National Association of Bond Lawyers and I was a founding fellow of the American College of Counsel. I have represented clients in connection with issuing government bonds to finance public works projects ranging from the Provo Utah Sanitary District to the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States.
As a retiree, I play principal trumpet with a symphony orchestra and frequently in pit orchestras for community theatre and University musical productions. I ski and snowboard in the Wasatch Mountains.
Graham and McCain are beginners when it comes to negotiating.
They are both senile. Especially McCain. Trump should do exactly opposite what they barking
He does. I’m not really sure he even cares they are there.
They are both idiots. Should get out of DC
They couldn’t negotiate their way through a wet wall of toilet paper.
The one fron Arizona is so dumb if he had a brain he would take it out and play with it.
That’s McLame for ya!
Mccain and Cornyn need to learn some diplomacy from the businessman. These “politicians”??? are hurting all of us with their simplistic thinking and need to keep their stupidity to themselves.
Politicians are terrible business people finally we have a President that deals as a business man. Politicians only know how to waste money and put it in their back pockets. Both Nieto and Trudeau know that a half of a pie is better than no pie at all. Economics 101 McCain and Graham. Better yet you 2 get the hell out of DC and do us all a favor!!!!!!
Business people, most of them are failed lawyers.
The politicians are all lawyers, so that by their very nature makes them all crooks. In negotiations you have got to be ready to walk away this is basic 101 negotiating strategy. Politicians are terrible at negotiating anything except when it comes to lining their pockets
The definition of a lawyer is a Professional Liar.
Yep, and the line they take, depends not on the truth, but on which side is paying their hourly bill.
Taught in law school as OBFUSCATION 101!! among other cheap tricks!!!
Ya…that’s what all of Obama’s cabinet was. Hillary even said: I’m a professional. “
What’s the difference between an attorney and a catfish ?
One is a bottom feeder and the other one is a fish !
The reason a shark won’t bite an attorney is out of professional courtesy.
That’s why we should drop ’em in the middle of the ocean with their own kind!
I have to agree with you John, and you too Ken….Pres Trump is a true business man and I’m confident knows the “art of making the deal”.
He is one of those that is on the job 24/7 , some have already stated with Trump they have a very long day .
I would say in working for Trump you had better be willing to work whatever hours it takes to get the job done.
He is one of those rare people that do not need 8 hrs. of sleep .
No, but he spends mucho hours playing golf and I do remember his saying that he wouldn’t have time to play golf because he’d be too busy working his ass off working for the people of the USA
You would be dead on your ass after three days of his waking Hours without a round of golf . You lefties are left out when he is in Florida away from the fake news Media .When Obama did it there wasn’t a peep out of YOU .
Yeah, AMEN!! The token half black, half white A$$HOLE almost lived on the golf course and you A$$HOLE DemoCommieScumboRATZ barely raised an issue because he was your A$$HOLE! NOW we get a PRESIDENT who just happens to be a Republican an you “TRY” to castrate him. DOUBLE STANDARD?????
WHY ARE YOU SURPRISED??? THAT IS WHAT THE DEMS DO, PISS AND MOAN WHEN A CONSERVATIVE HAS A LITTLE POWER,AND IGNORE THEIR OWN PARTIES CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES!!!
Not surprised for even a nanosecond!! Pissed off, irate, mad as hell, YES!!
berg, really – desperate, aren’t you or are you that jealous that you can’t play golf as well as OUR PRESIDENT? According to CEOs, many a deal is made on the golf course – including with the Japanese PM and the Chinese President. Yes, both countries are heavily invested in stopping N Korea and its nuclear aggression – all managed on the golf courses. Japan has its largest destroyer steaming to help the USS Carl Vinson and our fleet there, and China has refused all shipments of coal from N Korea, instead buying coal from the USA while strongly warning N Korea to stop.
So, OUR PRESIDENT has used his golfing abilities to form a strong alliance with both of those countries – so awful he is arranging to protect our country as well as those of our alliance members. Guess you would prefer bend over OWEbama apologizing all over the world as America became the feckless, leaderless laughing stock and our alliances were truly frightened we were no longer capable of helping them. God bless OUR PRESIDENT Trump and all those voters who voted for him and still support him.
The golf course is the only place where the walls do not have ears so agreements can remain proprietary before they get watered down and become “not a good deal”
Not nearly as much as O. Propaganda much?
Seems to me he’s also made a few deals on the golf course.
Ya…my late granddad did ‘a few’ of those eh.
I’m retired now so the game is more fun, but back in the day I made a lot of deals and did a lot of business out on the course. Playing 18 takes about 5 hours….ever get away from your job for 5 hours? Yeah, thought so…
Where have you been for the last eight years. Obama was either on the golf course or on vacation and don’t forget the fundraisers. How much do to you think his vacations in fancy hotels cost the taxpayer where they had entire floors for themselves and security?
NOT ONLY BARAK IT WAS ALSO HIS FAT ASS WIFE MICHELE, WHO SPENT MILLIONS ENTERTAINING ALL HER LEECH FRIENDS!!!
Went to las vegas for a fund raiser rather than go to rep the USA at a summit meeting for TPP
WHEN YOU OWN A GOLF COURSE,YOU GOLF,WHEN YOU ARE A LEECH LIKE OBAMA YOU ALSO GOLF,BUT ON SOMEONE ELSES DIME!!
To my way of thinking, that’s a great boss. Get the job done, accurately, quickly and in the best way for all.
He is also one that is used to leading from a position of power. Having the power to hire or fire, gave him lots of practice. His TV show, I did not ever get into liking, because most of the required doings, had not a thing to do with real world needs. I guess it was best to test his applicants on non-pertaining acts, than to try to find the best for certain positions.
But our government is not used to working along these lines. And the rest of the political machine, is having to play catch-up, because his way, or the highway, is a whole new ball game.
Do I think he will be an effective President, not really. Not because he is not trying, but because he is having to fight Congress, both Democrats and Republicans, along with the media. So getting anything done, will be an uphill battle for him. But what is refreshing, is that in his first 100 days in office, he is trying to do just what he campaigned to do. And that is a total difference from most of the past office holders.
I think in the long run he will succeed , it’s just that most do not want to hear the truth after so many decades of lies .
Larry,if trump fails it will because of GULLIBLE NIT WITS LIKE YOU,who believes the last LIBERAL NIT WIT he spoke with!!!
@Frank Gugino, sorry but while he was not my top selection for the office, there was just no way I would vote for Hillary in any position including dog catcher. But neither do I consider myself gullible, nor a nit wit, but a realistic person, who has watched these first 100 days, read the Congressional Record, and found that most of the time, any issue put before the assembled body, went against his wishes. And thus, I see his term in office being nothing more than an uphill battle, against the Democrats, the turncoat Republicans, and the biased media.
And so far they have dug in, and he will have to work hard and long to root them loose. Since he does not have the power to hire and fire them, he best learn to work with them instead.
While his being elected came as a national shock, because the polls showed Hillary to run away with the election, but reality set in, and she lost. And while I may have dialogue with a few liberal twits, I try to keep away from the breed, because it upsets me to see so much stupid.
But I do stop short of attacking someone merely because they may express a different opinion than myself. Name calling went out about my third grade year.
blah, blah, blah
Agree. You have a reasonable position. I, too, do not hold Trump responsible
for the actions/inactions of congress. As long as he gives his best to follow his
agenda/promises,that is good enough for me. If the next series of 100 days each
put a new SCOTUS judge in, replacing the lefties there, I would love it! If he can
appoint 100 Federal judges( young ones) like the last SCOTUS, that will be great!
IF TRUMP DOES NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE,THE MOST IMPORTANT THING HE DID WAS PREVENTING HILLARY A ND THE LIBS TAKING CONTROL OF THE SUPREME COURT,WHICH WOULD HAVE TOTALLY DESTROYED AMERICAN IDEALS!!
MY APPOLOGIES LARRY, YOUR INITIAL COMMENT WAS TYPICAL LIBERAL CARPING!!
THANK YOU FOR EXPLANATION!!
I DO think President Trump will be effective by simply negating 8-years of that dumbass YObama’s horrible policies!
In order for him to get things done, “THE SWAMP MUST BE DRAINED” of the self serving A$$HOLES on Capital Hill!!!
AND THAT INCLUDES RINOS!!
No arguments from this corner!! I did think that self serving A$$HOLES covered all DemoCommieScumboRATZ and RINO’s!
They must be working extremely hard while he’s playing golf down in Florida.
What ever you say Obama , even though you don’t have a clue other than what the left tells you . Go sniff some more of Hillarys depends for the latest news.
Use vulgarity much? Is this all you have to offer?
You can’t handle the facts???
EAT IT IDIOT! TAKE YOUR LIBERAL HATE AND SWALLOW
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/12308f3deb9367a5394b8c11fe5ed90c4d45d1ee696c74430630f7676987bd46.gif
More than you do.
How does Trump, playing golf on his own course, hurt you?? Give specifics, that
would apply to ANY president.
Lawyers have legislated their own occupations,and protect other lawyers occupations,which is “screwing” the public!!
Ken please provide the source of your claim
Look up their background .
Not so Ken, Washington has not had a good businessman for a long, long time. You obviously have little experience with lawyers and business men.
I was thinking, where did Ken Thomas come up with that? I’ve found his comment to be the opposite with businessmen and Lawyers.
Within each group, there are those that shine, along with those on the bottom, feeding as they can. Politics makes liars out of some good people, thieves out of others. Read on the numbers of Representatives that are now residing with the Federal Bureau of Corrections, past and present. Some very august people in that list.
Trump has arrived, and started out to do just as his campaign slate said, and he is meeting the Washington DC version of the WALL. He is viewed by the Democrats as the enemy, the Republicans as not being one of theirs either, and the Media, being mostly liberal in nature, is having a field day.
Where were these when Obama did some of his crapola? Instead of a dug in opposition, we instead got the illiterate who claimed that bills just needed to be passed, then we could read them. Instead of passing laws that were needed, made sense, instead it was a blanket approval of any piece sent. The idea of a two party system, seems to be an outdated exercise. Each group, wants to please enough, to be re-elected. We voters have always had the option of term limits, and if we use it more often, putting fresh ideas into office, instead of party followers, perhaps we can once again have a government that represents the People, a job forgotten it seems.
Not true. Business men make people money. Lawyers take it for themselves.
You are a Loon! Smoke break is over…get back to flipping burgers!
Where did you come up with that line of B. S.
You’re talking about politicians, right? Business people run businesses and provide jobs. Politicians waste office supplies and talk like saints to the media and take money under the table, well democrat politicians anyway. Please keep up.
So most business people are failed lawyers? Are you really that dumb? Most business people are NOT lawyers at all. Get a clue before you make comments like yours. It is pitiful that you could be this dumb.
You should really REREAD Kens post! Business people, rhetorical to Beiletti’s post as in question. Failed lawyers was implied to politicians!
To put it so you can understand it. Business people??? Failed lawyers(politicians)!!
Wow, finally someone who knows what a comma is for. I’m not implying that business people are failed lawyers, but an abundance of congress is made up of FAILED lawyers. President Trump is being blocked at every turn DUE to FAILED lawyers. What once was an honorable profession, along with journalism, is now either at or below the reputation of a used car salesman.
Learn how to read English, dipshit
Ken, I believe that the comment was about Congress people. To which I agree.
Our fore founders thought congress would be short term business people not the scum .
That have invaded Washington .
There is also the opinion that litigators are people that were quite not smart enough to make it as a scientist, physician, or surgeon.
Oh, I’ve noticed that El sTumpo manages to put tons of dinero into his back, front and side pockets.
Can you back that up with facts or are you reading fake news again ????
As with any political figure, there are smoke and mirrors. His not releasing tax returns, because he is in a suit about them, one thing, but his failed university, fraud at worst, is another. But he has other interests, and has indeed made money. Used to be the saying that it took money to make money, and his timeline history is a good example of that. Yes, he has had business failures. Companies bought, knowing that they were not viable, and allowed to fail, if for nothing more than a tax deduction. But he has also bought in, and made they whole and profitable. And the list of pluses is much longer than the minuses.
Trump has been around in business for a long time. Not all that have dealt with him, like him. So what, he can buy and sell most of them, and not miss the money. No, not like slavery, but like taking them on, and dealing from a strong position.
Did any of us want a failure as a President? Nope!! For if that was my goal, all I would have had to do, was vote for Hillary, who had already promised that her slate would have been four more years of Obama and she would do it even better.
Trump did say that he uses all the loop holes that the IRS has made available .
How so bergo. He gets things done without kissing butt. Just give the man a chance.
Berg has not presented any facts plus like you say many do not want him to have a chance .
Berg1928’s brain is mush, too much time watching the Communist News Network or 1 of the other phony news networks sucking up as much mind altering kool-aid as he can.
please post the source of your data or post this is just your opinion without any facts
I’ve noticed that you seem to have a head full of donkey dung from ear to ear.
And . . . more toilet talk. If you can skip the vulgarity once in a while, you might be more credible.

As credible as you? You are setting the bar on the ground, as most trolls do, so an accurate description of your IQ and communication skill hurts, huh? Too bad little snowflake. You’re even poor as a troll.
Yeah, I notice that Hillary Clinton and now Obama do the same thing.
McCain ran for the office, but could not make the cut, so why should I believe he is a better person to decide the fate of America, NAFTA, and our economy. All I know, is that any parts I have received from over our southern border, are not of high quality, and often fail much too often. Or just getting them here, takes an extremely long time, what with customs and all. But I know here, we no longer make almost anything. Imagine my surprise upon finding my fine Chevrolet truck, was an import from Mexico. Why–CAFE, so they could lump it into all the little bitty gas sippers, and thus avoid the fuel tax. Got to get the average up high enough, and all manufacturers will fudge where they can, not just VW.
McCain is not qualified to make Federal political decisions, nor has he been for quite some time, the only thing he should be allowed to decide is what color jello he wants at meal time in the cafeteria of the Mentally incapacitated wing of a Nursing home.
I do respect his service, and long term being a POW. That does not qualify him for anything. His crossing back and forth on party line issues, shows he merely is catering to votes, not doing his job. A Senator is supposed to represent a State’s interests in the Federal government. And as there is not too much medical information on the abilities of someone that has been in such long term hell, who knows if his mental process is not warped enough that he should be put in that jello room, and left to play.
Larry, I did, too, until having read and heard from those who had been imprisoned with him. IMO, he earned his nickname, “songbird”. I’ll never support him for anything ever again.
I think McCain thinks he was elected president. He is trying to take over that position and Lindsey Graham follows. What a pair? He was not the only POW and don’t see that gives him any special treatment. He has been running on that all of his political life. Appreciate his service, but those of other veterans too. Many of them never made it home.
NOR WERE THEY SONG BIRDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4 McCain and Graham, starting another war is the solution 2 everything–this, despite the fact that stalemates have resulted from almost every action we’ve taken since WWII ended, so long ago now.
Did I mention the death and destruction that occurred in the interim? Militarism is disgusting. Peace treaties R boring. I prefer boring.
I DO NOT RESPECT “SONGBIRDS” SERVICE!!
Peruse these for a while!!!

POW collaborators deserve no such respect. Nor is it likely he endured much in comparison to those who also served, were captured and tortured.
AMEN!!
Spooky! I have always wondered if he had been brain-washed? His captors couldn’t have been certain that they would win that war. (And if you look into it – McCain wasn’t very stable or reliable even BEFORE he was shot down (possibly the reason that he was?) Spoiled brat – just like Bush 2.
Love it
I like Craig’s comment also, great and funny.
Yeah, funny like a pan full of fried assholes…
You must be one of them in the pan ???
DAVE W.T.F. ARE YOU RANTING ABOUT,YOU ARE CALLING ME A NAME WITHOUT TAKING A SECOND TO FIND OUT WHY I AM CONTACTING THE SITE,WHICH WAS TO AGREE WITH THE LAST POSTER ABOUT WHY TRUMP IS A SUCCESS AT PRESIDENT YOU NIT WIT,AND WHAT PAN ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT???
Take a second and notice I replied to DWB, not your post.
I completely agree with your post, and would add that Liberalism is a mental defect…
But is it – really? The pro-Trump rhetoric from the “religious right” frightens me in many ways – even tho I am Republican and a Trump supporter. What COST “MAGA” – if it empowers religious zealots (of ANY “brand”) to make and enforce the rules of my personal thoughts and existence? (Who a person can love and marry, what choices they have over their own bodies, what right they have to live freely as a minority of any kind?) I’m not really surprised that the notion of an ultra-liberal, communist society is as attractive to 50% of us – as emotional and physical slavery is – to the other 50%. (Which human tyranny is REALLY “best” – and nothing in between?) Does anyone REALLY want the Pope, Franklin Graham, Pat Robertson, the late Jerry Falwell ,Ayatollah Khomeini (they’re all exactly the same) to rule their lives? Is mental and physical slavery actually that attractive ? ( I tried all of them – and I HATED them all!)
So: No – liberalism isn’t a “mental disorder” – it is just the “wrong” choice – from something almost as bad.
However misguided and ill informed, you are entitled to your opinions…
Be wise enough to distinguish between opinion and historical facts..
My “opinions” are based exclusively on “historical facts”. There are no longer any prejudices in ny thinking to interfere with that. If you were on trial for a crime that you did not commmit – you should hope that men like me sit in the jury. (It is not easy to be sensitive to BS – and to have the moral courage to stand up to it. Not my choice – at all.)
I recently had a reply that admitted that he was compelled to agree with my comment on a topic – based upon the “up-votes” that it had received. Words can not express how depressing that was. ( Think about it.)
Frank, I certainly sympathize, I have more than once had to ask someone to review my post more carefully, far too often people misinterpret the intent of your sentiments and the ranting begins.
David nichols like them extracrispy.
Wow, a comeback on an intellectual par with ” so is your mother”..
And you had all the time in the world to come up with it…!
Why is it that you could be anything you want on the Internet, and you choose to be stupid and sophomoric..?
Are you mad because your asshole is not in the frieing pan asswipe.
What are you THINKING?
If you don’t understand sarcasm, You’ll just never get the point…
You are exactly correct! It is beyond me to be “sarcastic” about a situation that has resulted in 4000 dead and maimed U.S. servicemen, and (according to the International Red Cross) – their million civilian victims in the Muslim world – over the past 4 decades. Please instruct me how to see anything “sarcastic” ( much less even amusing) about that. Let’s hear your jokes about cancer and alzheimers. You are safe from a drone or cruise missile attack – but how funny are the things that you may experience in days, months, years, to come?
Hilarious! Isn’t it?
Do you have attention deficit disorder…?
Note that my sarcastic post was in reply to DWB’s comment on Craig Vandertie’s un humorous post about John McCain…
Nothing to do with the dead and wounded you chose to rant about…
Reading comprehension is perhaps not your strong suit.
(and it would need to be considerably larger to be “swinging”…
I responded to a specific comment (and then your comment on “opinion” and “history”) . The topic is McCain (with several links to his past), and it seemed approptiate to mention his influence on War Mongering.
“Rant” ????
“Swinging”? I’ve never been intimate with a “David Nichols”. (I knew one – but he was a slime-ball parole officer.). Who are you, really? Do you know me? (There have never been any disappointments or complaints. You have the advantage, here.)
I see you have joined the easily amused…
He is President of the USA, ergo he is qualified…
The fact that you would have preferred Career Criminal Clinton says all anyone needs to know about you.
And your hyperbolic description of Trump’s qualifications is sophomoric and lame!
LSM
Dave!, get your eyes checked, I did not say Donald Trump, review my post more carefully, I said John McCain.
My bad Craig—I apparently had tunnel vision concerning the topic and was not very careful in reading your post–since your very first word was “McCain” I plead guilty, Mia culpa..!
My recommendation is that he should go home.
TRUMP IS HOME, IT IS CALLED THE WHITE HOUSE BRAD!! better Trump then the lying bags of crap Hillary and Barak Huessein Obama!!!
mccain is a pedophile among 29 more in congress and senate, mccain is pushing against president trump because mccain knows he is one of the pedophile swamp rats president trump wants to drain out of the swamp mccain is a betrayal lover of obama and needs to have his pedophile rear FIRED https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e4ef5ee6612cd481579eb053bcc42deb8c07cbb241d36d53d6833d5cd4406eaa.jpg
All his failures are irrefutable true, especially the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipartisan_Campaign_Reform_Act
As for being a pedophile, that is a very serious accusation and if there was evidence to substantiate those claims why has he not been charged, tried and found guilty, as in why is he still a U.S. Senator and not in prison?
I am sensitive to the label of pedophile my deceased fiance was displaying symptoms of Bipolar Depression and Paranoid Schizophrenia by the time she was 2, her father betrayed her mother, her husband betrayed her, overall she hated men, when in public I had to walk around with my eyes cast downward for fear of her getting the impression I was staring at some other woman, all men were pigs, rapists and pedophiles.
So calling a man a pedophile is something you had better have irrefutable evidence of or keep your opinions to yourself and that is a general belief.
As for him doing the bidding of Globalists, it not just the Soros family, but the Rothschild family as well, and those are just the Globalists we the people are aware of who are pulling his strings.
I lost my job thanks to NAFTA. I worked for a multi-national corporation who produced polyester fibers in the U.S.and in Mexico.
Operators in the U.S were paid about $14 per hour. Meanwhile, operators in Mexico were paid about $2.50 per hour.
My last assignment was to go to Mexico and train my replacement.
When I returned, I was forced to take early retirement.
I later learned that the operation in Mexico was shut down, because they could not compete with China where operators were paid about sixty cents per hour.
This is a sad situation that I’ve heard about more times than I’d like to!
How did Ross Perot(?) put it when he ran for President?? Oh yes, that “Loud Sucking Sound You’re Hearing Is American Jobs Going Overseas”!!! Nobody liked nor trusted him but he sure was 100% right on NAFTA!!
Ross the Banty rooster, he was a hot head, he easily lost his cool, the people did not like him because they figured he was going to make way too many brash decisions.
While possibly(?) true, the main reason I kept hearing was “he kept asking questions but NEVER offers solutions”! I was ALWAYS taught that in order to fix/ correct something one must first figure out “WHAT THE PROBLEM IS/ WAS?? THEN offer solutions!
I also heard/ read that he was on the GMC etal board of directors (held quite a lot of GMC stocks) and when Ford raised their prices GMC said lets raise ours also. Perot said “what are we giving them in return for the cost increase” to which the board said “NOTHING”. According to the article, after he told the board off he then sold all his GMC stock!
I voted for Perot – he could draw a graph describing economic behavior indicating his capacity to understand causal relationships, deductive reasoning and the capacity to use analytics to arrive at sound decisions. He was also an acute businessman whom jumped on the computer revolution forming one of the largest entities in this field when this field was burgeoning – also a veteran – what were slick willy’s credentials – a scumbag attorney – governor of a backwards state deeply involved in corruption, illegal gambling, fronts for the drug laundry, prostitution – Oh yeah – he has the schnoz to suck up the biggest lines of cocaine which made him a hit at parties – look into Slick’s history while at Oxford and see how many Chinese he buddied up with at that time only to confirm their relationship with NAFTA
Likewise!! I too voted for him, Mainly for his reaction to Chevy etal raising prices just because Ford did without ANY improvements/ modifications to their lines!!
The 1 and only city of the county I am originally from was home to a Doer Electric Motor plant which later became Emerson the plant had been in operation for decades at least 40 to 50 years like all manufacturing plants some were life long employees.
Emerson building a plant in Mexico they shipped Mexicans to the plant here in the states to get training from the workers there, so when they were trained they were suppose to ship the Mexicans back to Mexico, the plant here in the U.S. was still shutdown, but the Mexicans decided they wanted to stay in the states.
To quote a conservative thinker “LIBERALISM WORKS UNTIL YOU RUN OUT OF OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY” a very thoughtful observation!!
Actual Liberal economic policies (unlike your nonsensical strawman) never runs out of money because it was designed to keep funds flowing through the system.
Before the Great Depression and New Deal approximately every 15 years some stressor would cause a run, panic, or depression wiping out the wealth and substance of some segment of the population. Sadly once the laissez faire conservative economy recovered it grew more slowly than the economy did from 1933 to 1982.
If the precepts of conservative economics had ANY VALIDITY there would have been NO UNEMPLOYMENT during the Great Depression when people would have accepted any wage no matter how small. Needless to say the theory only missed by MASS Unemployment. And you guys want to return to this nonsense.
Go home and keep your worship of Karl Marx to yourself.
Except that Marxism is a theory – and the “Great Depression” was reality. It’s probably fake news that Trump is considering to re-institute Glass -Steagal – but he doesn’t have a hope in hell of MAGA – unless he does.
The liberalism used to pull us out of the depression was infrastructure liberalism. It was designed to get and keep money flowing through the economy. Not through the government.
A solid business friendly infrastructure keeps the power in the hands of the consumers where (in a capitalist society) the power belongs.
Today’s liberalism strives to neuter the consumers.
I never really looked at the recovery policy as “liberal”. It seemed to just be the only thing that would work.
I’m not so sure about the “power in the hands of consumers” any more, because corporations have got so big, so entertwined, and so monopolistic. Government protects them more than it does the consumer class. (Because that’s where the big campaign contributions and lobbiest money is.)
Notice that banks “too big to fail” were bailed out – and I read somewhere that they are now 25% bigger than ever.
Things are irreversably so different than they were 90 years ago, there probably isn’t much to be learned from experiences and policies of that time.
Thanks for the ad hominem attack. Proves the effectiveness of your argument.
Worse yet nothing I said had anything to do with Karl Marx.
You really need to learn about those economists who have accurately predicted event
like J. M. Keynes. Whose ideas guided the emergence of a prosperous middle class before bought and paid for politicians began turning the board back to favoring the wealthy starting with Ronald Reagan. JM Keynes accurately predicted the rise of Hitler as a consequence of the settlement of WWI.
Totally agree…especially the RHINO do-nothing congress….along with communist democrats. These folks are sitting on their butts and getting paid huge bucks for doing nothing but wasting tax payer dollars.
Don’t let “songbird” mccain get involved in anything, or you’re screwed. He’ll shit his “depends” over it, but oh well.. ???
Songbird McCain, Johnny Wet-Start, I wonder how many Nom-de-gerrs does this clown have.
Yet another feather in his cap, that the loonie-left will claim as his failure.
So glad we’ve finally got a president with the fortitude to make this country great again!
Who has benefitted most from NAFTA?
Not us, we send parts and they come back as completed assemblies.
Exactly – I see a lot of criticizing comments here but no one will say that NAFTA has benefitted them. If that is so – What good is it? And why would they defend it except to toe the party line.These people need to start thinking for themselves.
The elected today are bought and paid for by the party . If you do not bring in money for the party , you are history .
Gee that sounds familiar huh?If you are not an “earner” you are done.
The money changers and the market people .
This is why we needed a business man in the White House. When it comes right down to it, the art of the deal will carry the day. No one knows the art of the deal better than a business man…. and that is what this all comes down to, wheel and deal.
When will John McCain officially switch party affiliation? He is totally useless as a member of the GOP. He must be working for the New York Times. It’s a shame he made it out of the plane he crashed in Vietnam.
And the last time you were a prisoner of war was when . . . . ?
How much do you know about the Song Bird .
A lot and none of it good. He is NOT a hero, was bailed out by his Admiral father, caused more than a 100 deaths playing with his plane on a carrier, etc. So, most of us see him again as a traitor as he was in Vietnam to his fellow prisoners of war. He has no values and just wants to sound good and get richer. He must go one way or the other.
I had heard that back in the day his life was spared because of his fathers military title .
I remember reading some time ago, Bob, that some republicans were bought and paid for by Soros, and that is how I see McCain (the flipflopper and who reported Trump to CIA), Graham and several others that represent who they really support and it ain’t America nor Trump nor us. The establishment creeps must also be removed and we can start with Ryan and his cohort who just want to embarrass Trump and do the exact opposite of what he wants done. Trump, let both Houses send you bills and if they ain’t what you nor we want, VETO them and use the EOs that Obama lived on for 8 years.
I read that McCain Songbird and Lindsey Graham both definitely received $$ from Soros along with several other Rinos. That came out a couple of months ago listing their names and how much they received from Soros.
I agree with you whole heartedly. McCain and the others are bought and paid for by Soros and his organizations. They have their own interests at heart and not ours. To me Trump is like a breath of fresh air in a sewer pipe.
establishment politicians are so used to just giving every thing away they have no idea how to successfully negotiate and that’s been a problem for a long time.
We don’t have a Congress. We have a Romper Room.
did these journalist and politicans even pay attention in grammar school
that will make mexico and canada quit sucking eggs!
This is why we are trillions of dollars in debt! When was the last time you seen a lawyer run a business dealing with thousands of workers? I’ll tell you, Never! If we would have had business people running this country from the very beginning, this country could never be touched! Just watch as Donald Trump brings us back from the edge of total destruction of this country! What is needed now is for congress to get off their lazy good for nothing asses and push through E-Verification legislation so President Trump can sign it into law! This in itself would do more good in helping get rid of illegals, put our country back on the road to prosperity, and to pay off our national debt! Just step back and think how much money goes to keep illegals in this country! Then think about how much it costs to keep those same illegals in our prisons! This single piece of legislation could make sanctuary cities moot! Why build a wall to keep those who haven’t yet entered this great country, when you can pass one single piece of legislation that will make those who are here illegally want to self deport themselves! Picture it, if they can’t get any work, can’t get welfare, and can’t get health-care, what’s going to keep them here? Nothing! So if you really want to get rid of illegals push your representatives of both houses of congress to get off their lazy asses and get the bill passed!
Sadly, I think the first thing President Trump needs to do is to order a start to investigating all of Congress for possible corruption, bribery, influence peddling, sex crimes, etc. It can best be done ‘on the QT’. Prosecution won’t be necessary in most cases – they will see the wisdom of retiring mid-term for health reasons or ‘to pursue other interests full time’. Clean ’em out, let the newly elected congress-critters come in, and I’m sure we’d see a much more compliant and busy Congress. They might even get busy implementing his agenda, as all 535 of them (survivors and newbies) would be, um, ‘impressed’ by the seriousness of the job overnight. And the ‘deep state’ might just lose most of it’s protectors too.
Donnie should be the first investigate his own history of corruption, bribery, infuence peddling, sex crimes, etc. He should clean out his own befouled nest first.
Obama is calling you to put on his pay roll or are you there already ???

how many times do you have to post without one fact, data or proof of what you are saying….. again please give us the data and facts…… or just keep name calling
Maybe they need to investigate berg. After all I hear that when they accuse someone else of doing something wrong they are guilty of those same things themselves. That is probably why he is giving no proof. Look at the demonrats blaming republicans of things that the demonrats themselves are guilty of and believe me there is plenty and too many to list on here.
How about some specifics, instead of more wishful thinking and false allegations of nothing from the kiddie gallery?
Look it up. pussycat!

More of the idiocy from the total moronic snowflake.
And we also have registered socialists and communists in Congress. We have allowed this mess by not fully vetting candidates back to grade school as to who they are and what they have done. So we elect them and they immediately become turncoats betraying us, their promises and oaths. We need to drain the Congress completely and start fresh with showing them we are in control and not they. We must have a max of 2 4 yr terms for each House, remove all benefits/perks we did not vote nor okay for them, and if they think they can take a position that pays with a corporation or take the almighty donor dollars, they will immediately be fired because they are our employees!
Exactly why I don’t think they should be allowed to give themselves a pay raise. Let the voters vote whether they get a pay raise or shown the door out. I would like to give myself a pay raise whenever and how often that I want, wouldn’t your?
“Be willing to walk away” was one of the first things I leaned about negotiating for a car. It works. Go Trump!
MOST IN THE NEWS THINK THEY KNOW EVERYTHING AND THEY ARE AS STUPID AS A 1 YEAR OLD, REGARDING A BUSINESS OR COUNTRY. I WONDER IF THE WILL PULL THERE BILLFOLD OUT AND GIVE IT TO ME IF I SAY BOO. OH, THEY ARE SO STUPID THEY DO NOT KNOW THAT THE MONEY THE GOVERNMENT USES ARE YOURS AND MINE, AND THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS ONLY THE CARETAKER. YET THEY TRY AND TELL YOU AND I WHAT IS BEST FOR US.
WHY NOT INVESTIGATE AND REPORT THE REAL PROBLEMS SUCH AS,
FROM A REGISTERED DEMOCRAT, BUT AN AMERICAN FIRST.
EVERY ONE AND THIS GOVERNMENT HAD BETTER WORRY ABOUT THE MUSLIMS HERE AT HOME ESPECIALLY THE 5 CAMPS IN NORTH VA. CLOSE TO WASHINGTON.
PUBLIC LAW 414, PAGE 2, SECTION 212, WAS PASSED IN 1952 THAT BANS ALL PEOPLE TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTY, AND MUSLIMS QUALIF TO BE DEPORTED. READ THE QURAN, THEIR BIBLE.
COULD IT BE THAT OBAMA HAS SET US UP FOR HIM TO LEAD A MUSLIM INVASION OF OUR COUNTRY? READ THEIR BIBLE, THE QURAN.
IF NOT,
WHY ARE THERE 5 MUSLIM CAMPS IN N. VIRGINA, CLOSE TO DC.
WHY TRY AND BUY UP ALL AMMO AND TAKE OUR GUNS.
WHY ALLOW IN EXCESS OF 36 MUSLIM CAMPS. (PERHAPS HUNDREDS)
(BUILD A FEMA CAMP IN EVERY STATE? SOME STATE HAS MORE THAN ONE. BUILT AND SUPPORTED BY YOUR TAX MONEY.
WHY, WHILE IN OFFICE, DID HE SET HIS CABINET WITH MOSTLY MUSLIMS.
WHY WAS HILLIARY’S TOP AIDE A RADICAL MUSLIM,
WHY IS THE DEMOCRAT PARTY FOR A OPEN BORDER. COULD IT BE TO GET FREE DOPE, GOODGLE, THE NEW CLINTON CHRONICLES 2015 AND LISTEN TO IT ALL.
LAST WHY, DID OBAMA SEND BILLIONS TO HIS MUSLIM FRIENDS.
we need to go back to the old system, where we didn’t do business with countries with human rights violations , it’s not to much to ask is it, it would force countries to clean up their act , thanks to clinton we have swet shops , child labor ,slave labor, and all kinds of human rights violations ,all for the all mighty dollar, unions use to protect their workers now it’s all about collecting union dues, so many of these problems could be fixed ,if we got the corruption out of government
The only way to get the corruption out of government is to get rid of the politicians.
And no work then no pay if they do what they are put in office to do and that is not just to line their pockets. They are supposed to work for the American citizens and not catering to the muslims, other countries that want to destroy us, etc…
Politicians are terrible at negotiating. It takes a savy business person to conclude attractive negotiations. Both parties have to be in a position to lose in order to achieve a good compromise. Politicians don’t understand that. They want to start where they want to end.
Another proof that our President Trump is a real Business man who can negotiate and turn the unfair deals which were made by Obama in to winning ones! Canada and Mexico are aware that without NAFTA their economy can not survive. In the past, both countries’ Leaders were used to bluff the Obama but this is not happening here; President Trump is too smart for these beginners!!
I ca only hope Trudeau And Nieto are strong enough to put Trump in his place. Yes re- negotiations need to be up dated but with Trump it is all what it going to be good for his pocket. He has said several times he doing things for the American people has he? But he is sure looking after himself. Stop and think honestly, about what he has done so far, it has not been for the American people.
He has done more than Obama did for 8 years . Just showing some strength is more than the Homo did.
He has been more of an embarrassment than any president – ever!
The first to embarrass the US was LBJ and then came Carter ,after that came Obama who moved Carter up the ladder . So that makes Obama the worst ever . You would not know a good leader from bad .
No he has not , open your eyes what has he really done . Judges from all over are stopping him and if he continues to be the lyre he the US will be hurting from lack of a lot as Canada and Mexico will tell him where to go and it will be not only those countries that will suffer but more so you and the USA
McCain’s always against anything Trump is for SOURGRAPES
everyone who has bought a car at a car dealership knows that you are going to have to fight to get a good deal. setting the tone at the beginning is the best why to get a better deal………President Trump set the tone and caused the other guys to be on the defensive…… now he has the edge….. this is basic deal making.
It is amazing how many people there are you still don’t get why President Trump has been so successful in the business world and why he will be successful in the political world. It’s ridiculous to think that if he isn’t batting 100% he is somehow a failure. The success of a Baseball Star is at a much lower percentage. But I think his real genius is what has driven myself to be successful: if somebody tells me XYZ can’t be done, I am going to try to prove them wrong. Hello, read “The Art of the Deal” and then come back and tell the American Public why the guy is such a failure..
why don’t mccain and lindsey just change parties? They have shown they are democrats under cover.
Probably because if they run on DemonRat ticket they know they Republicans and independent definitely would not vote for the demonrat. I think the only way for them to survive is if they run republican. Until those states get a good Republican and not a rino to run against them, as long the Republicans are on the winning side they will continue to run on the republican ticket. Sure do wish they could be recalled and put out of office forever.
The only people who politicians can pull the wool over their eyes is the American People. They have been lying to us all for years. Trump can handle it.
That is the problem most can not handle the truth as Trump exposes things. .
It’s because most senators and congressmen only want what will stuff their wallets and wouldn’t know the truth if it was biting them in their asses every day!
Lets cut thru the BS! We all want a better, leaner and efficient Gov’t. We all agree, “Term Limist” is the first step in ensuring a more common sense Gov’t. Most Senators and Congresspeople, have been in office way to long! Its become a full time job and most think they run the country now. At least it will ensure we have fresh ideas in Gov’t. Pres Trump should be commended for the job he is doing. Rather than give away everything to our allies and enemies, Pres Trump has the strength to stand up. Look around the world at how other countries are working with us now. Is he perfect? No? But, a damn better sight that what we’ve had in the past.
Most in congress are scared of their own shadow as it is hounding them with Trump as President .
My son has said that we have been walking around with a kick me sign on our backs, and he is only 20 years old, but he gets it, how can these politicians in DC be that stupid? They are not that stupid, they are probably benefiting in some way from NAFTA personally, and I’m sick to death of these blood suckers sucking the life out of our country. Who can be a failure, in so many ways, and instead of getting fired they say “Hey let’s give ourselves a raise”, the government can.
Of course Trudeau and Nieto jumped to their phones. They know Trump doesn’t mess around.
Speaking of “disgraceful and a disaster,” that pretty much defines John McCain. McCain and Graham both have no idea of negotiating. All they have ever done is vote taxpayer money away with the Democrats.
Since NAFTA was enacted January 1, 1994 how much has the Mexican people spent on buying products made in the United States, answer basically nothing, Mexico’s standard of living never has and hopefully never will match ours, any money their economy makes off U.S. goes directly to their toxic waste politicians rather than being passed onto their hardest workers.
Canada’s standard of living is far more compatible to ours and although they may not spend quite as much through their people buying our products they still spend far more on U.S. manufactured products than the Mexicans ever could.
The only part of NAFTA that should definitely be removed from the contract is dealing with Mexico.
Nafta can’t be fixed. It’s a terrible agreement and needs to be shut down
Trump knows what he is doing, he is not backing out of any of his promises, even after hard opposition and road blocks from Dems and a few sold out Reps, he will negotiate and he will do good. We must give him time, remember Rome was not built in one day and our Rome has been a disaster for a great many years. I can’t wait for many other things to happen like draining the swamp totally, doing away with the 9th court, going after Obama, Hillary, Rice, Lynch and the rest of the traitors. Go Trump!!!
Mc Cain and Flimsey Graham need to go. No Idea how to business works. Please allow the Business Man, Our President, to “Make America Great Again!
HA HA HA HA HA!!! THE ART OF THE SALE IS WAY TOO HARD FOR DEMOCRATS TO GRASP!! AFTER ALL THEY HAVE ONLY GONE TO SCHOOL FOR BOOK LEARNING & ZERO HANDS ON EXPERIENCE, RE: INTERACTING WITH PEOPLE OF ALL WALKS OF LIFE!! THEY ACTUALLY DO NOT HAVE A CLUE HOW TO NEGOTIATE ANYTHING!! TIME TO VOTE OUT THE BRAIN DEAD’S IN OFFICE NOW!!
In truth,those that negotiated NAFTA did not have the AMERICAN WORKER in their plans,Trump,who has negotiated many business transactions over the years,knows exactly what he is doing and why he is doing it.And the reasons are THE AMERICAN WORKER,AND THE COUNTRY.His detractors,(for the most part)never managed a “lemom ade” stand,let alone millions of dollars of serious business!!
Go TRUMP!!!! NEVER listen to those flakes, McCain and Graham. Following the devil is just as good as following those two snowflakes.
Exactly!
Ross Perot was correct. There is a great big sucking sound caused by jobs going to Mexico.
President Trump is going to reverse this in spite of the RINOS in congress.
the time to renegotiate a bad deal,is when it enhances the OTHER parties,not us.
The benefits must be co-equal, or its “not a deal” xcp for those benefiting. Get it?
In spite of the reports you hear from our truly pitiful media about how bad Trump is doing, Trump is on track to be the best POTUS we have had in over 100 years. His work ethic, and his dedication to keeping his promises are nothing short of incredible. We have not had a President that has dedicated himself to the country in my lifetime, perhaps of all time. Those that perpetually criticize him are largely comprised of people that don’t have any idea what they are talking about. If these people who routinely criticize and hate Trump want to have any credibility at all, they need to start anything they say negative about him with the simple and honest statement that they hate him. That would at least let them have a modicum of honesty in their comment, and it would allow those listening to understand that they are just having a tantrum.
how about we out source congress to 3rd world countries , and see how they like losing their jobs to foreigners ,and most of these freaks have stocks in the companies that left , so they are making money on screwing us, seeing how they work for the people of 3rd world countries , and not americans anymore, i still say lay off congress we don’t need any more stupid laws , we just need top enforce the laws we have
this is the kind of negotiations we have lacked for many many years…a president with ba**s….as that once famous president once said ” walk softly but carry a big stick”…unless the bully believes you are going to pound him and are capable of pounding him he will not back off
I am so sick of those 2 clowns McCain and Graham. They brains don’t work any more after been in senate for so many years under stupid Obama. They had very long vacation and they brain turn to mush. Time to retire for those 2 face snakes.
Stick to your guns, President Trump… Our nafta ” Partners ” have had a free ride far too long as it is
You see how long it took after the threat for them to say they would renegotiate , they were not hurt only we were the ones that had our jobs move to those country’s !!
President Trump is a master negotiator.
These incompetent Repubs better grow some hair! Report out that this “budget” completely funds Obamacare, Planned Parenthood, sanctuary cities, and does NOT fund the WALL! Remind me exactly WHY these reprobates, Ryan and other “moderates,” were given this “power to surrender” to democrats? DRAINING THE SWAMP has to include ALL these completely worthless twits! Recall an old WWII joke, what the PC crowd would now consider ‘racist,’ or sum such, just don’t remember if it was directed at the French or Poles, probably both: “The Only Reason The French/Poles Are Issued Rifles Is For Them To Have Something To Throw Down When Surrendering.” That is the definition of the vaunted GOP – spineless, waffling, democrat lite pols!
I was always strongly opposed to NAFTA. A long time friend of mine was strongly supportive. He was a Demo. He made his position based on how many people were for it . I do not give our country away for VOTES and favors from foreign leaders.
wish that many of the people should do a little study before shooting their mouth off as experts,not.
What the voters should know is GIVERS ARE LIMITED – THE TAKERS HAVE NO LIMITS!!
DAVE NICHOLS THIS IS THE “FRIED ASSHOLE” CALLING YOU A NIT WIT!!!
All the professional liars (Politicians) that are criticising Trump must be invested with the corporations that outsourced manufacturing to mexico and elsewhere because of NAFTA. Can you say conflict of interest, or insider trading.
What Trump is doing takes dump all over the communists desire to destroy this country , it gives the American people another opportunity to see how many cockroaches there are in the government/media whorehouse….tertiary syphilis causes psychopathic dementia….looks like lots of people are infected !!!
Clear the swamps of the McCains and Graham’s along with all far left leaning Democrats. They are a waste of energy,money and everything else that our country is now doing to turn around after the last 24 desasterous years. Between Obama, Bush and Bill Clinton, they have hurt this country so horribly we might never recover from it.
Trump is not only clown … but a mis-informed half-wit as well…………..
Libturds have no logic OR common sense.
Merci beaucoup, danke schoen, and tusen takk to Rose and DWB for their gracious support of my opinions.
McShame is not a hero as a matter of fact I wish the bastard had never come home from Vietnam. He is a disgrace to all of us who served. Pray the GOP ash wholes get what the deserve at election time. Get rid of these traitors to the party for joining the communist demoncrats. Please print the names of the obstructionists.
Doesn’t anybody understand the art of the deal. If you go into negotiations already handicapping your own position, your opposition will capitalize on the wishy-washyness which you have portended for your own objectives – benevolence can only be provided when America is whole again
So you have a bag of marbles, so does the other guy but how many each, “lets talk and try to find out, ask questions”. How much does your bag weigh, what are the size of your marbles, are they all the same material, negotiate dummy
