our trade agreements (which favor them) are jeopardized


Trump is viewed as weak and inept by world leaders
Canada, mexico, britain, germany, Russia is laughing its arse off, have all had leaders questioned Trump's decisions publicly

trade agreements take decades, untold numbers of man hours, to negotiate so when a leader decides to back out of them...

would you negotiate with that leader. does that not make other leaders concerned whether or not America is going to honor its agreements. that is a direct hit on our bargaining power and credibility.

only Trumpkins dont see that

So we should never terminate something that might not be best for us because of the work people put in at one time? Seriously?

Much of Asia, Israel, and the Arab world say you are completely wrong. Whether you agree with them or not, I promise they are more comfortable about us defending them right now than they have been the last 8 years.

What leader in his right mind is going to keep his country in a trade agreement that is unfavorable?
If I wanted to trade you nickels for dimes, are you going to do that? How long until you realize I'm getting over on you?
Pretty sure were not forcing anyone to negotiate that doesn't want to.
Negotiating smart trade agreements increases bargaining power and credibility.
