A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds 64% of Americans say they support free trade with foreign countries.

That represents an all-time high in the NBC/WSJ survey on this question, and it’s a 7-point increase from the last time it was asked in 2017.

Trump's failed trade wars are making free trade popular again. As a globalist free trade advocate this makes me very happy.

1. Donald Trump...

...making all of Obama's policies more popular since 2016.

2. The more interlocked we are, the more likely we can cooperate on

some of the challenges ahead, like global warming. This "go-it-alone" stuff is a disaster for this planet.

3. Absolutly right. We need to work together to make

the world a better place. Free exchange of goods and ideas makes us all richer.

That being said the US needs to have some recourse for folks whose jobs went away, something like retraining and even financial assistance in relocating to places with more jobs.
