The global trade agreements is a Republican ideology and panders to "Family billionaires" that fund them. The most obvious example is the Kochs. But, the Trumps are a family billionaire company, too. There are some in the USA that are far worse than Wall Street in their crony focus and demands on the DC structure to provide their profits. In the case of the Kochs, their family feeds off the USA federal government decisions. The regulations in the USA are correct to insure the well being of the country, but, family businesses like the Kochs want their own priorities to be federal policy and that has nothing to do with the well being of the people of the USA.
When the TPP came for a vote in the Obama Administration it was the Republicans that passed the agreement. Those votes can't be changed. They are proof of who in Congress actually pass these horrid relationships between countries. The TPP is a Republican ideology that robs the people of their middle class status and casts them into poverty.
The Republican hubris will turn the tables on all this. It is up to the Democrats to be a step ahead of their hubris laden politics. When the Republicans turn their hubris on the Democrats, the DNC has to come forward with THE TRUTH. Fast talking Republicans should be under fire for their past and present allegiance to particular billionaire families that pad their election treasuries. The facts are there and it is the truth. Put the facts forward and for the US House and Senators coming to election in 2018 start it now.
This administration will be laden with lies. Each lie has to be interrupted before it gets started. The State of the Union speeches are going to provide very fertile words for correction and the truth of the issues stated. I think the Democrats have to come forward to push 'the truth' in their politics. It is the duty of the Congressional Democrats to bring the best governance to the people.
The lie that permeates the Trump administration is the FACT he has a STRATEGY panel against them. That panel is lined with anti-Social Security advisers. THAT IS COMPLETE DISLOYALTY to the people that voted for Trump because he promised nothing would happen to the entitlements of the USA. He lied. This is a huge lie. This is not a casual 'oops.' If Donald Trump is determined to carry out his campaign promises then his administration has been hijacked by the extremists that surround him. It is up to the Democrats to reveal the real agenda of this administration.
