Trump, the liar, never killed TPP. He re-packaged it as USMCA and CPTPP.

It's quite literally a copy-paste of the TPP provisions for Mexico and Canada.

Watched a bit of his rally in Nevada, he bashed the TPP, called Obama's "deal" trash, etc.

And now he's calling the USMCA the best deal ever.

And the deplorables have no fucking clue (yes, they're deplorable, hateful nasty people, cheering on the lowest smears Trump spouts).

So much of it was written with different countries, economies, and structures in mind. It wasn’t Canada/Mexico centric.
