Similar populism underpinned the British vote for pulling out of the European Union, and is also a rising force in the coming French and German elections.--------------Keep telling the deplorables how stupid they are. The elite have spoken and they don't want Trump in their sandbox. Does anyone remember another election where so many outside parties have stuck their noses into. The world hates America anyway,unless they need something,now they want to control who's elected to keep the gravy train rolling...

[Mr. Douglas]

Yes, I’m sure they do.

[FatherofFive]

Trump's fault.

Even before he is elected!

[Mr. Douglas]

NPR talked of this concept this morning and it really does have merit: companies that trade together to the point of becoming interdependent are less likely to go to war with each other.

In principle that can work, but there are other factors in play.

Globalization will bring World Civil War

Note the now nearly universal media application of the derisive term "populist" for everywhere we once would have used the terms "conservative patriot." Trump is a Conservative Patriot; so were most of those who voted Britain out of the EU. By false labeling, the media seeks to win debates, they could never win on the merits.

Consider: "Love," "Hate" & "Who We Are?".

We have always been at war against Eastasia.

Yet Trump has never claimed he would restrict trade, he would only like to renegotiate trade on more favorable terms.

The G20 parasites want to keep ripping off our clueless government. They are scared spitless of Trump because they are afraid we’ll stop writing checks to bail out their countries. Hot checks are as good as good checks if the banks will cash them.

I saw on here the heavily discounted rates and shipping fees that both Amazon and PayPal use for Chinese entities on their websites. It is SHOCKING. Americans practically can’t compete.

I didn’t copy the poster’s words and can’t find any article about this.

I remember all those years when leftists/progressives would rant endlessly about the evils of imperialism. Now under the new title of globalization they want to achieve the same goals only on a worldwide scale.

Globalists = 21st century plantation owners.

We, the deplorables, are the sharecroppers.

[mikeandike]

Free trade is one thing. Turning over our sovereignty is another. The global elite are more concerned with the latter.

“. The world hates America anyway,unless they need something,now they want to control who’s elected to keep the gravy train rolling.”.

That sums it up quite well.

[GOPJ]

Elites - horrible people - gain power from laws exempting taxes through ‘nonprofits’. Equality with elite monsters can only happen if tax breaks allowing elites to punished everyday citizens are ended.

The globalists don't think it should be up for a vote, and for many of them it isn't. But they're depending most heavily on countries where it is, China being an obvious exception. So they're going to have to make their case in these places, or they're going to have to see that it is never up for a vote, and I don't think that's possible.

But threatening worldwide economic disaster isn't making a case, it's avoiding it. Free societies do have fissiparous tendencies, it's a historical fact, and we're not all one big happy family nor are we ever likely to be. If I were they, I'd shut my mouth and take what I could get. The ox puts up with the goad, the bear, he doesn't like it at all.

Good...stop the bleeding. Trump!
