It disappoints me that you read what I posted as an attack on Donald Trump or as support for Barrack Obama. I might remind you though that the North American Free Trade Agreement was a product of Ronald Reagan's administration.
It was one of a number of things Reagan screwed up. I am not in lock-step with anyone. Even Trump, who I consider the most consequential President in my lifetime (at the least since Regan), has done some things--and NOT done some things--that irritate me. But 80 is better than 20.
I was not referring to you in particular, btw, but rather your comments about Canadian sentiment. Canada has had a free ride on trade for a long time at our expense. That would be fine if they weren't letting China backdoor us to put some of our major industries like steel out of business. That's not an ally or a friend, that's an opportunist.
It was my hope in previous posts to attempt to say that honest discussion between parties of different or even opposing points of view (be that countries or individuals) should be the goal. No one side is ever completely right.
I don't think anyone has said that one side is completely right. However, Trump is not an ideologue. He's a man who solves problems in a common sense fashion. The Trump Doctrine is real and it is effective. The world in general, and the United States in particular, are better off for it.
