Apparently it is dumbfuck.
Repealing NAFTA makes you in favor of tariffs.
Wear it you retard and ballwasher.

Repealing NAFTA means you are in favor of direct trade agreements and not having countries dump things into Mexico and Canada to flood your markets via "NAFTA" free trade while you don't have the ability to even buy land in said country, much less sell any of your goods in that country.

Keep gargling China's balls...

Is English your second language?

Is Trump a democrat now? He sure seems to like raising taxes. Retarded move, it will hurt consumers, unless it's a temporary action to force concessions from bad actors like China and Canada.

Too difficult for you to understand, eh? Figures...you pretty much have been at the HondoFS level for a while...

I'm assuming you do not realize the the big hang-up in the current NAFTA negotiations is the made in North America part, right? And with both Mexico and Canada signing TPP and us not that just opens that backdoor into the US market even more.

Keep gargling China's nutsack...

So the US lost leadership on trade by not signing TPP? And China is in the driver’s seat for pacific rim trade while Canada and Mexico take advantage? Who let that happen?

If only the US was free to take advantage of its competitive advantages in high value products and services, and consumers could buy low value-added goods from overseas producers at low cost. That used to be standard GOP policy. Where has the GOP gone?

There’s a big “hang up” in NAFTA “negotiations?” Our trading partners know trump is a fool. Let the obese orangutan tell farmers in the Midwest there’s no market in Mexico anymore. They will buy from China, Brazil etc from now on.

I welcome your self destruction. I live in California.

Just about every economist in the world will tell you that tariffs are stupid, ineffective, and only lead to higher consumer prices.

From that you can deduct that anyone defending tariffs is a fucking retard or a political ballwasher - or in Houston's case, both.

What do economists say about dumping product into a market under cost to drive competitors into bankruptcy?

What economist made you the judge of that?

Precisely because you are an imbecile, the US and its international trading partners created the rules for adjudicating “dumping.” Even a strip mall stock broker at ed Jones In Lynwood or puyallup should know that. That conclusion is not let to your whim or the idiocy of an obese geriatric in the White House.
