Donald Trump says he will issue an executive action on his first day in office to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

In a video updating Americans on the White House transition, the President-elect described TPP as a "potential disaster for our country".

[...] Mr Trump said his administration instead intends to generate "fair, bilateral trade deals that bring jobs and industry back onto American shores".

Sky Correspondent Greg Milam said: "Donald Trump has been very critical of what trade deals have done for American workers and the damage that the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) did in the 1990s - particularly to low-income workers in the Midwest, who it turns out voted for Mr Trump in huge numbers."

    That's because the All Lives Matter thing was started specifically as a challenge of BLM. BLM has some major problems in terms of PR, strategy and aim, but you're grossly mischaracterizing it.

    No, I'm not mischaracterizing. With BLM, they aren't rioting over the obviously innocent. There are a number of young black males who were very obviously MURDERED, on camera. BLM has little if anything to say about those. BLM instead protests the deaths of those who are less obviously innocent, as well as those who are obviously GUILTY. Furgeson? Come on, WTF?

    BLM is a racist movement, with few if any redeeming qualities. You can use several adjectives to describe them, including unruly, lawless, violent, racist, and combative. If none of that were true, they would have latched onto that "all lives matter" thing, and made it their own.

    Are white europeans the only people who can take demeaning insults like "yankee doodle", and make those insults something to be proud of? Obviously, BLM is incapable of doing so.

    But, that's because BLM doesn't really want to find a solution. When George Soros funds anything, he intends to be more disruptive, than anything.

    That's the face I'd love to see stuck to a 24" truck tire . . . .
