Donald Trump calls for AMEXIT

[Fight for Trump]

I'm sure he'll soften his position on this in a few days or perhaps a few weeks. The "giant sucking sound" days of NAFTA are behind us, and it's definitely a net positive now, especially with the political goodwill that it buys. Mexico is a big country with a serious economy now, and killing free trade with Canada would simply be destructive. We've seen this play before - this is his opening offer, he gets a bunch of free media attention, then people will praise him in a few weeks when he says that he just wants to nibble away at the corners of NAFTA, not tear it up.

NAFTA is of course terrible. Corporations get to sue governments for regulations and environmental protections they don't like. Yet consumers can't legally buy prescription drugs from Canada. NAFTA was written 100% for the powerful elites, and 0% for the little guy.

If only real life were as simple as a Bernie stump speech.
