Trump is not a protectionist. He is an economic nationalist. He is a huge supporter of free trade with countries like the UK and others that share interests and values with the US. It's about time we stopped pretending that every country can or even should get along and be friends.

In that case, Trump should have been for the TPP, since we share values and interests with Japan and Australia. No, he is a protectionist.
He believes in bilateral agreements with friendly countries on an individual basis without having to get involved with hostile countries like Vietnam.

Once again, the difference between finance and economics is plainly visible.
Yeah, finance is an actual thing.
