Donald Trump says NAFTA 'destroyed' U.S. at rally near Canadian border

Donald Trump held a rally minutes away from B.C.'s border on Saturday where he touched on lumber and international trade.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee hosted a 3 p.m. PT rally in Lynden, Wash. — a city less than 15 minutes south of Aldergrove, B.C. Earlier in the day, at noon, he held another event in Spokane, Wash.

During his 45 minute speech in Lynden, he meandered from topic to topic — from his love of his evangelical supporters to attacking Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton by calling her "crooked."

He called NAFTA "one of the great economic disasters" that's "destroyed" the U.S., a message he first shared back in September 2015.

Both he and Bernie are correct on this and we can only hope if one of them gets elected they will put a stop to all the 'free trades' that have only exploited workers and taxpayers.........

If you think Trump has a legitimate plan for this then you will be disappointed.

NAFTA was and is an Agenda 21 corner stone.In that sence the past American administrations have promoted tooth and nail the destruction of the USA. It's not like NAFTA came about spontaneously in some damp unsanitized corner of an unused wharehouse, is it? However, destroyed it is and unrecoverably so.

Trump will take most of the NA car assembly plants from Ont and move it to the US.

So I guess that means you think NAFTA is a good thing ?
I would have thought you would be completely against it .
Or maybe you just like posting anti Trump memes .

There is already a wall that keeps Cliffy out of the US. It's called being a convicted felon.

Back in the Autopact days, if you wanted to sell a car in Canada, it had to be made in Canada. If NAFTA fails, it is back to that situation. The thing is, there aren't very many NA cars on the roads, anymore. There are still a fair number of Ford products driving around, not gobs of them. Chrysler is still represented by minivans, mostly. I play a little game while driving on the highways .."spot the GM" . It's amazing, but I can drive for fifteen, twenty minutes along a busy 400 level highway before I see one GM car. They're all gone! Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Pickup trucks are still mostly NA brands but even then Toyota has made huge inroads.

Anyway, Toyota, Honda and Suzuki are already building cars, here. Maybe Mazda, Hyundai and Kia will buy up the idled Ford, Chrysler and GM lines after they have been Trumped and finish the process.

It's not the first time a wall was built. Fences make good neighbours. Prevents their cattle "Mexicans". From wondering to far on your neighbours lawn.

Why a European Super State Must Be Resisted



The European Union is a centralised super state trading block whose conceptual origins lie in the Third Reich of Hitler’s Nazi Germany.
The concept of ‘global trading blocks’ was already well established under Hitler’s regime, but their origins go back further: to the British Royal Society. Post British Empire colonial ambitions were hatched around the desire to form a number of global trading empires whose leadership would be essentially elitist and corporate, with banks mostly at the helm.
Here lies the origin of the ‘free trade’ concept. A trading pattern which is anything but ‘free’ due to the fact that it is designed to prevent any one country stopping any other country from resisting the import of products that it has no need or no wish for: I.E GMO maize and soya, beef raised using growth hormones or sweat shop mass produced cheap goods that undermine the ability of the blocking country to fairly trade its own quality home-made items.
