Good riddens the world needs a break from Trump greed.

[michaelheins]

Seems to have a morbid fear of acronyms. Makes sense.

[wendyalexander]

He threatened it last fall and tried to play the WTO and NTO against each other.
He's not a negotiator and Kudlow a joke.

[andrewrogers]

Trump and Huckabee Sanders sort of look alike in the face

[topfuelchannel]

We have a Manchurian Candidate as President.

[sayis]

They make the rules now they want to break the rules. The world should isolate them quickly

The Agent Orange needs to be removed before he destroys everything

[zagreos]

Hail Trump! Hail our people! Hail victory!

My heart goes out to the next US president to try and undo this shitshow, to try and mend the damaged relationships with US allies.

[_Negra_Arroyo_Lane]

Oh please do it, please. The world needs to end its dependence on the US dollar.

[uncletan]

If Trump USA is out of WTO. Than it will be a happy day for all nation in the world. From now on. We don't need USD to buy oil. Great

[full__tilt]

Brexit will not be good for the UK, if the UK is in the WTO without the US 😩

Unfortunately, these economists still are under the influence of the former Directors of the East India Company ( Adam Smith, Ricardo, John Stuart Mill, Bentham) who in the 19th century advised the free trade and Britain destroyed one country after another. China is doing that today.

People: When you read the comment by "say is" please reflect on thefact that he is talking about all of us (USA) Americans.

And that is, sadly, NOT an isolated world view of us.

[gordonadams]

He keeps pushes our trading partners to strike deals among themselves. We will be left behind.

This awesome. A healthy country should be as Autarkic as possible. That way, big corporations cant exploit cheap slave labor overseas while the american worker gets the shaft but the corporate traitors profit margins go sky high.
