I have been, since day 1.

I am against all the trade deals.

They are not Free Trade Deals.

They are Unfair Trade Deals that harm U.S. workers

and the workers in the countries we trade with.

The intention from day 1 was to lower global wages.

If they can lower the wages in the U.S. they can lower the

wages in any country.

The global elites are behind these trade deals.

Global is the key word.

Global poverty will be the result.

Sprinkle in a heavy dose of climate change and global

warmongering and the future looks extremely bleak.
