Why Boycott Atlanta but not Beijing Olympics?

Bi-lateral trade is too much BS and gets us crap, like Dotard did.
It would take a decade or more to negotiate with 11 individual countries.
Dotard did 2, in four years.

ROFL.. China , Japan, S. Korea Canada and Mexico..

But you are correct it take two terms to get this done -Biden isnt doing anything

Your right, Dotard DID renegotiate 4 trade deals, after he withdrew from them.

They didn't amount to much.

If the U.S. had remained in the TPP, American farmers would already be benefitting from lower tariffs on beef and pork exported to Japan. And they would have greater access to other nations too. Trump is celebrating the benefits of a single trade pact when he could have had much more.
"It really is a pretty small-scale trade agreement," says Clark Packard, a trade policy counsel with the R Street Institute. "The TPP was a better deal than this. It encompassed a lot more areas of trade. It had more members, it was more expansive, and we wasted a lot of time and effort to get to this point."

The TPP would have eliminated 18,000 tariffs that the partner countries currently impose on American exports. It also would have included soybean exports, which are notably not part of the U.S.–Japan deal.

President Donald Trump is hailing the revised U.S. free trade agreement with South Korea as a “great deal” and a critical first step toward more favorable treatment of American products around the world.

Yet the revamped U.S.-South Korea accord unveiled earlier this week isn’t much different from the existing pact that Trump often condemned as “disastrous.” Most changes made to tariffs, automotive quotas and agricultural preferences were narrow in scope or incremental, according to trade experts.

Not much different than his USMCA, a nothing burger, Dotard claims is a big mac.

[Blackwater Lunchbreak]

NO, it doesn't, we have tariffs against Cuba, Iran, N. Korea and Venezuela for totally different reasons.

Tariffs only work if you have or threaten to have a different source for the product you are trading.

Dotard DIDN'T.

this just creates an opportunity. it's not always up to the states to have business es at the ready. that's actually fascism. this too close relationship is sets the stage for stafe capture and crony capitalism.

I take it, you're referring to the US states now?

No, it's not fascism if a business/product is already there.

But, if they aren't? IS fascism?

So, I guess Trump IS a fascist.

General Motors MUST immediately open their stupidly abandoned Lordstown plant in Ohio, or some other plant, and START MAKING VENTILATORS, NOW!!!!!! FORD, GET GOING ON VENTILATORS, FAST!!!!!! @GeneralMotors @Ford

operation warp speed was definitely fascistic.

you denying tariffs is also fascistic.

you're on board with chinese mercantilism. that's what's perplexing.

[no worries]

You seem to be, defending the moron who could have found other trading partners, reducing our trade with China.
Instead, Dotard, increased trade by $200 billion.

[dukkha]

this just creates an opportunity.

it caused diversification away from China supply chain to USA -much like the USMCA agreement did as well

Yep, and many corps moved their manufacturing out of China to other Asian countries.

Then the CCP virus came and everything went back China’s way.

The dots are dying to be connected, but yeah.

And now Xi is emperor of the world, and a half-wit China puppet is running the U.S..

Yup, and either by luck or design.

[BartenderElite]

Life is weird that way. Conservatives boycotted the Dixie Chicks for opposing Bush and the Iraq War, but Trump did the same and they elected him President and think he's wonderful.

Go figure.
