Is getting rid of "free" trade really a good thing?

Thought Republicans were supposed to be pro free trade so I'm wondering how Trumps rhetoric will end up playing out...

He's not getting rid of free trade. He's stopping the businsss of us getting screwed. The threat will cause the action we need.

We don't have free trade.

No, it will cause cost-push inflation. But Trump voters cannot understand this concept. Which is why they voted for Trump.

The free trade that we have had lately,isn't really "free".
The playing field has been tilted against us for quite a few years.
With the resources that we have,If we really had free trade,we wouldn't have a trade deficit.

He wants fair free trade. China charging retarded fees and dictating what we can bring in is not fair trade when they can basically import whatever they want.
Hell they just started allowing US beef in after 15 year ban. WE (the US) need to start calling the shots

NAFTA was supported by H.W. and the legislation was passed to Clinton. It passed the House and Senate with heavy republican support.
Many Dems supported it too.

"Free Trade" is code for Open Border.

There's a difference between "free" trade and "fair" trade.

Correct. He is just burying us with even less free trade.

"free trade" =/= "getting raped in the arse on every deal"

Sending jobs that were here out of country so they can be made cheaper (bigger profits) and brought back to be sold to the US citizen isn't the free trade I want.
Lol. So you don't want free trade. You want to force corporations to take massive losses in the face of insane taxes and regulations so people here can work. That's not free trade. Not even close.
The term free trade has become a joke.

Yeah more and more economic nationalists look like a group that wants to force private companies to do something against their personal interest for the short term gain of their workers. If only we had a term for that.

So I guess you just want an entire lower class of americans with no skills to just live off the government forever? The only jobs they can do are being outsourced to foreign countries. We will pay for it either way whether it be via higher taxes to pay their benefits or if they get jobs maybe they get off the government teet.
One way or another we have to give the lower class money, they may as well work for it
