Question About Trump's Comments About TPP.....

Today he came out strongly against it. It was my understanding that the Repugs supported Obama and his quest to get TPP approved. Is Trump taking a different stand then the Repug Party? Or have the Repugs now come out against TPP? Or am I mistaken of their initial support?

Just curious now.

He'll say anything he thinks will endear himself to his targeted base: working and lower-middle class white people. He's trying to pull in some of the Bernie folks who's one and only focus is anti-globalism.

He doesn't believe a word of it. He made all his crap overseas. He LOVES "free" trade.

Xenophobia and a return to the Good Old Days of blatant racism and nativist rant.

We need to remember the "remorse" that is following that vote.
