re: #430 lawhawk

Trump’s protectionist/xenophobic bent is going to undermine our trade relationships around the world. Being on the outside of TPP looking in means that other countries will see preferential treatment while the US loses out to countries like China that stayed in the TPP.

Trump is also intent on going after NAFTA, despite all the benefits to the American economy.

Globalism isn’t going away, but ignoring it or imposing protectionist policies will mean that those that are already losing ground will see their situation get worse - not better.

China wasn’t part of the TPP.
