Trump to the Rescue?

When Donald Trump says he can make a better trade deal "for us" I have to wonder who would benefit from his or any Republican trade deal. In the 1980s the Republicans sold down the river a lot of union workers by creating trade deals which were good for big business, but which also off-shored a lot of union jobs. Now they're working for minimum wage at McDonald's in a "career".

Donald Trump has trumpeted himself as a deal-maker, but it has always been (obviously) trades meant to benefit his company. If he were president his responsibility would be to 300 million Americans, but would he know how to do a deal which benefited anyone besides himself?

Some people criticize Pres. Clinton for having signed NAFTA and he has tried to argue it was good for the economy, but it's hard to see good-paying jobs replaced by lower-paying jobs and not wonder if there isn't a problem with the American Dream. Are our leaders only capable of seeing 'the big picture' and not of analyzing a little deeper to see how well everyone is doing? It's ironic since most politicians are said to only pay attention to interest groups, but when it comes to the economy it seems they only see the macro-economic picture.

But, today the wealth gap is enormous and a lot of boats aren't floating at all.

It's time for a better deal for all Americans, not just those who don't look like Donald Trump!
