George H.w. Bush Slams 'america First' Slogan As Selfish

... who missed Trump's inauguration due to health issues. "And even though they deny it, they advocate policies that amount to protectionism and isolationism. Their slogans: 'Come home America,' 'America First' — this is selfish. This is beneath the history of our great country, but it's out there and it worries me, this coalition of left and right.".

"We do still have the matter of the border tax adjustment, which will be important to keep an eye on going forward," Rai added. Trump told U. S. manufacturing executives on Monday that he would impose a hefty border tax on ...

Cnn Rant Jeffrey Lord Nafta

... the key failures of NAFTA is apparently women who come into this country and "bleed" because they "don't have the same skills." What. Those quotes came from CNN's Jeffrey Lord as he discussed trade agreements with Anderson Cooper and former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich this evening. “It’s not just isolationism,” Reich said of President Trump's approach to trade (and, seemingly, his approach to all of politics). “It’s Donald Trump’s assumption that the world is basically a zero sum game, in which we win only to the extent that someone else loses." He suggested that the best way to support American workers is actually to back the unions and raise the minimum wage. Lord disagreed. He countered with what he called "a local example" — that of his dry cleaner. This man, Lord explained, supports Trump and frequently complains about NAFTA. Why? Well. “This is a man who is being asked to clean ladies' ...

And the company used the dread “u” word when providing guidance to investors. “Looking ahead to 2017, the Company is aware of both economic and political uncertainty,” as CEO Patrick J. Ottensmeyer put it. Translation: Now that Trump is president, we have no idea what will happen with the peso exchange rate, with NAFTA, or with our business.

... study, the pointedly titled “Suspiciously Timed Trade Disputes.” As the authors elaborate, “Our results confirm that U. S. presidents are more likely to initiate WTO disputes during the last year of their first term”—and that such disputes disproportionately involve politically sensitive industries in states that are up for grabs. They did not find any pattern during Presidents’ second terms, when they no longer faced reelection. Trump, who has the swing states Ohio and Michigan, among others, to thank for winning the election, took office amid a blur of threats to clamp down on trade via tariffs of as much as 45% on China and 35% on Mexico, and via social-media bullying (witness his tweets against the auto industry and Carrier). Economists, with surprising near-unanimity, believe that either approach would damage America’s economy. In brief, ...
