Billshit. The great majority of the white working class, which has had every giddamn advantage over brown people since the founding, blames the changes in job markets and the US economy in general on brown people. And you fucking know it.

The Bushes and Clinton are brown? The Repubs who joined Clinton on NAFTA were brown? The Dems who supported NAFTA were brown?

Yep, you're still a moron who couldn't see a point if it grabbed him by his nut sack.

Nope.

Trump's improbable win on Tuesday was driven in large part by his triumph in the Rust Belt, with states like Wisconsin and Pennsylvania going to the GOP for the first time since the 1980s, and Trump leading in a third, Michigan. He inspired voters there with a populist message on free trade, promising to return their communities to the golden years by scrapping what he described as horrible deals for workers.
The two deals in question, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), gave Trump an opening with Rust Belt voters -- and proved to be a political weak spot for Clinton. She came out against TPP, which is opposed by many Democrats, after previously describing the measure as a "gold standard" -- a shift for which Trump took credit. And Clinton's position on NAFTA, which was signed into law by her husband former President Bill Clinton, was difficult to pin down.
In contrast, Trump has been resolute in his opposition to both. He has vowed to renegotiate the terms of NAFTA with Mexico and Canada, leaving open the possibility of pulling out entirely, and has said he will not approve TPP as president.

Blah...blah...blah. Yeh sure, rust belt white trumpers were thinking about NAFTA when they walked into the polling place. Southern white trumpers were thinking about NAFTA when they walked into the polling place. My ass.
White rust belt trumpers were thinking about Trump being the man to make American white again when they walked into the polling place on November 8, 2016.
So somebody at CNN thinks his election was all about NAFTA. CNN...FAKE NEWS!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAHAHAH!!!
PS - NAFTA was bad?
Quote:
From an economic perspective, NAFTA is a success. Without it, the United States would not be as strong a competitor with the European Union or China. That's critical now that both of these trade areas rank above the United States as the world's largest economies.
The increased trade was sorely needed after the 2008 financial crisis. Even more people would be unemployed without NAFTA.

Anybody who voted for Trump because of NAFTA is as fucked up as the bigots who wanted their white America back.

I seriously doubt that anyone walked into a polling place thinking about your ass.

Even more flaccid than usual. Make an argument or consider yourself crushed into dust.
