So the party and nominee are fully in favor of free trade, just not trade and trade deals that penalize our manufacturers and employees while failing to open up markets in other nations.
BS. Trump opposes NAFTA which opened up Canadian and Central American markets to the US. Stop lying already. I continue to go by what Trump actually said instead of what others wish he had said.
Trump is a protectionist, pure and simple (except when it comes to his own businesses). He invents bad guys (China, Mexico, etc.) just as the national socialists did in the 1920s and 30s. And he instills blame on them for the failure of American business to keep up with the global economy.
Trump takes the stage and blames China for not letting US cars be sold in China (which is total BS), while totally ignoring the FACT that US cars don't sell well in the US.
(Hint: It ain't the trade deal. It's the unions, stupid.)
He rails against Carrier opening up a plant in Mexico which helps to keep them in business by selling air conditioners in Mexico. Yet when it comes to his own manufacturing, he has no problem setting up production lines in Mexico or China.
So not only is Donald Trump anti-liberty, he is also a hypocrite.
