When Trump negotiates a trade deal, what kind of principles will he bring into negotiation, other than "winning"? I see someone who looks at trade as a zero sum game rather than something which can be transformed into a positive sum game, which is extremely dangerous especially with his childish, volatile temperament. There are certainly a lot of libertarian concerns with these trade deals like TPP, but Trump never addresses them. He just talks about how he will shake things up and make the best deals.
He is totally against TPP and would not sign it, if he were President. He has clearly stated he is against all of the trade deals from NAFTA on. While I would prefer getting rid of them altogether and the associated ruling bodies above our own Congress, renegotiating them such that U.S. companies get at least as good a deal as the country we are trading with, would be a step in the right direction. And yes, he has talked about this many times.
The way he would "shake things up" seems utterly scary to me. One reason why I oppose neoconservatism so strongly is exactly because it promotes shaking things up, which leaves messes and creates many negative chain effects. Neocons create problems. I see Trump doing the same exact thing in trade, except with even a worse temperament.
If you want more detail, you have to watch a townhall. Otherwise you are going to get soundbites.
Least interventionist? He wanted to go into Iraq and now he is sad we left Iraq. He seems to have supported the Libya mess as well. He sounded okay on Syria until he turned full neocon on it in the last debate. Now he wanted to spread nukes around before he didn't, and he wouldn't even rule out using nukes against ISIS. He's a dangerous man.
He doesn't believe in telegraphing his plans to our enemies. That used to be the position everyone held. The other thing I have seen are people posting his positions from 10 or more years back and yes, he has changed on some things. I would imagine you have too.
I am supporting him because he was the person who FINALLY said something about our rotten trade deals. I do think he would improve that situation. Will it be perfect? No, I'm sure not. But, with everyone else, we will just get more of the same. Our country is dying. Or haven't you noticed?
I am also supporting him because I am sick and tired of the illegal alien invasion of our country. I'm sick and tired of paying for them to get free education, free healthcare and even welfare. They are not immigrants; they are criminals.
I also support him because he would shut down bringing more "refugees" over here. At least for the time being.
Finally, I support him because he wants to get rid of the Dept. of Education and return education to the states and the communities.
He's a flawed candidate, for sure. But, I do believe he puts America first and that would be damned nice. Could he be another POS? Yes, he could. But, I know damned well the others would be. Trump has a possibility of doing some great things.
