Understand this: Everything is money.
I am one of the only people on this platform who read and understood the Trans Pacific Partnership (TTP) which was Obama's crowning deal and was quickly destroyed by Trump upon taking office.
In this trade agreement, as in all, plenty of winners and losers. It was THEE most lopsided deal of all time:
Winners were Media, Hollywood, Big Tech, Silicon Vally (Intellectual property owners), and Wall Street Multinational banks. ALL deal in intangible assets. The digital world.
Losers were America's entire manufacturing base, blue collar workers who actually MADE physical goods. Energy producers, Agriculture and small businesses. The physical world.

The number of enemies Trump made in that FIRST MONTH was insurmountable. He cost these people trillions in profits. It was at that moment a target was painted on his back. Simple story.
