Trump signs USMCA, paving way for job market boom
US, China sign historic phase one trade deal
This is GREAT news!!! I watched this live on tv, and the room at the White House was filled with a whose who of CEOs from American businesses like Ford, Visa, etc. And, of course members of the House, Senate, and all the trade folks in the administration were in attendance. It was truly historic, and certainly a feather in the President’s cap. Here he was getting stuff done for We the People, while the Dems in the House were voting to send ridiculous, extremely partisan (not a single Republican voted for it, and in fact 1 Dem voted “nay”!) articles of impeachment to a Senate that won’t vote to convict. The optics couldn’t have been more stark. The House Dems looked pathetic, political, and inept. The President, by contrast, looked…well..presidential, and working for us…as the Stock Market hit historic new highs with the Dow over that 29,000 mark again. Clearly the market couldn’t care about the petty politics of House Dems and was far more interested in the progress with Chin and this trade deal. It was a great day for America, and a bad day for Nancy Pelosi and her “impeachment managers.” 🙂
