TRUMP: CONGRESS MUST “STAND UP AND DEFEAT THIS RAW POWER GRAB”
|| By FITSNEWS || Billionaire real estate mogul and reality television star Donald Trump is the latest GOP presidential contender to come out against “Obamatrade” – a backdoor effort by U.S. president Barack Obama‘s to endorse foreign currency manipulation, subsidize the outsourcing of U.S. jobs and erode America’s borders and its rule of law.
Last week, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee announced his opposition to the deal.
“Some in the Republican Party are working overtime to hand more power to President Obama,” Trump says in a new radio ad. “These same people are turning their backs on the American workers and businesses. It’s unbelievable.”
Produced by Americans for Limited Government – which has been leading the fight against this crony capitalist monstrosity – the sixty-second radio spot will begin airing in early voting South Carolina and New Hampshire beginning Thursday. A national rollout will follow – directly listeners to the website Obamatrade.com.
“I learned a long time ago a bad deal is far worse than no deal at all,” Trump says in the spot, calling Obamatrade a “bad, bad deal for American businesses, for workers, for taxpayers.”
“It’s a huge set of handouts for a few insiders who don’t even care about our great America,” he notes.
Trump is 100 percent correct …
“Obamatrade” is a two-part deal. The first part is “trade promotion authority” (TPA) – or “Fast Track” – which refers to the ability of Obama to unilaterally write and enforce the second part, which is the “Trans-Pacific Parternship” (TPP) – a massive trade deal with Pacific Rim nations.
The former is basically a blank check to the Obama administration to impose the latter – a special interest, crony capitalist bonanza that would benefit liberal Hollywood elites and wealthy bailout recipients on Wall Street at the expense of U.S. workers.
Trump called on members of Congress to “stand up and defeat this raw power grab.”
“With the dismal Obama track record why should a Republican Congress give him more power – and gut the Constitution to do it,” Trump said. “It’s crazy.”
“This is a game changer in the debate over fast track trade authority,” said Rick Manning, president of ALG. “Mr. Trump’s business acumen and expertise makes him a unique and powerful voice whom America trusts to tell them the truth.”

As we’ve repeatedly noted, Obamatrade would be bad for America (see HERE and HERE). And especially bad for South Carolina (HERE and HERE). Which is why we have called on our state’s “conservative” congressional delegation to oppose it – joining those responsible members of the U.S. Congress who have already taken a stand.
We’re glad to see yet another presidential candidate sound the alarm on this important issue …

Fits hits a home run with this.Why in the hell would you give this American hating pResident ANY power or authority to continue his mission of weakening and destroying this country?
Can you, FITS, ‘The Donald’, anyone please provide specific evidence on how Obama has weakened and destroyed this country? Not rhetoric or Faux News diatribe, but real facts?
Oh, you’re gonna a lot of the former, and little of the later. In the meantime, FC and Tango are busy burning up the Wire to stop the take over and declaration of martial law by the Federal government in Texas this Summer. They were the two who stopped Obama from setting of a nuclear warhead in Charleston Harbor – don’t you know.
Go home Rocky.The strip club is closed and your daughters miss u.
Don’t leave Fits though.The harmless lies you tell about dad serving during Korea and yet your mother in law is on Obamacare and not on Medicare are classics.
Not quite as good as you telling us ur employer has u on standby at a local airport or all your homes in resort areas but for a paid hac,not bad.
Good God you are such a crybaby when it comes to Rocky and Buz, grow up kid.
Agreed.
Golly you have some sort of complex.
Please.you come on here everyday (like most liberals) mocking Christians and calling people racists and bigots that you don’t agree with.
Typical that a thin skinned socialist like yourself can’t take the heat.
20 million meskins?
Yes, I am sure there were 0 Mexicans in this country in 2008. And 0 illegals from other countries, as well. Then that wave came after Obama took office. Gimme a break!!!
And also, please explain how these Mexicans have made your life worse, here in SC. Or anywhere?
Shortage of 25,000 doctors because of Obamacare by 2020?
Yup, healthcare was sooo perfect before Obama came into office. Doctors were happy. Patients were happy. Oh, wait, I forgot. It sucked big time.
Nice try. Thanks for playing.
…. But it was a whole lot better then than now. … A whole lot less expensive then, too.
That’s a Gruberized g’ment number … Closer to 150,000 by 2020.
Heck more than 70,000 doctors have already left, retired or gone into private practice because of BummerCare.
Oh yes. There were more than them million illegals before 2008.
Now? Close to 30 million in total.
I do not care what Gruberment says. I might grant that many of the pre-’08 illegals are legal or quasi-legal now.
FYI: There are more than 4 million Mexican Nationals (non-US citizens) collecting payments from the U.S. Social Security “Trust” Fund(s) … A combination of anchor baby’s “uncles, aunts, cousins, brothers and sisters” plus almost one million “work exchange”, “day”laborers and “undocumented migrant” workers. … At one time Greeley Colorado alone accounted for more than 300,000 … In Mexico City the line at the U.S. Embassy for SSA/SSI applications goes out the door and clear around the block … There are 450 “immigration law” offices within 6 blocks of the Embassy. There are documentation, pictures, court filings and many first hand accounts at the SSA Office of Hearings and Appeals in Denver.
Maybe because Obama doesn’t negotiate the deals, it’s the career diplomats and Dept. of Commerce people that will still be there in 2017 when either Hillary or Jeb is President, so why delay.
Mmmmm … So you are not asleep at this switch. Good on ya.
LMAO….false…just like others were supposed to negotiate our immigration laws and treatys like with Iran.Laws and treatys mean nothing to Democrats.If they don’t like a law or treaty they will break the law and shred the Constitution.
Democrats can’t be trusted.Hillary said yesterday she is going to open the borders and give citizenship before her and Bill go to prison.
What you just said makes zero sense. Trade deals are negotiated by lawyers and career folks at State and Commerce, and their correspondenting trade offices. No President sits there making a trade deal. That’s delgated. I have no idea whatsoever what you are trying to even say. You think W sat there on the phone and negoitated the bi-lateral trade deal with Chile, or on a conference call for the Central America Free Trade Agreement? Geesh!!!
Sure it does.Muslim Obama does whatever he wants unless a judge or court stops him…like they have done with Obamacare and immigration.
If “The Donald’ and Huckabee are against it, that you should you right there that it is likely a good policy.
You are a tool and a fool. This is pure naked theft by the elites and you fell for it. I’m betting you actually believe that pap for the masses on CNN.
The whole deal may be a “progressive” Fascist power grab, but it is also a simple money grab.
The combined trade “agreements” would make the naked bribery of Hillary and Bill legal … for the entire Bummer administration and all of the congressional elites.
There may be no protection from this theft.
Why is there such an obsession with Will and this guy who doesn’t stand a chance in hell of even coming close to winning the primary? The only thing I can think of is Will is collecting a check for doing so.
Strangely, I agree with the Donald for one of the few times.
This is a rotten deal for the American Worker.
