But really, the damage that enabled the rise of tRump was done a long time ago, and yes, Obama made it worse (e.g. failing to call out GOP obstructionism in a meaningful way at the right time and kneecapping HRC in the rust belt states with the TPP)

The whole point of TPP was that CHINA ISN’T A PART OF IT!! It’s to allow us to have continuing priority in those dozen nations that without TPP they’ll fall into China’s sphere of influence.
