Trump Says He Will Withdraw From TPP on Day One, Mum on Building the Wall

WATCH President-elect Donald Trump Releases First Video of Length to Public in Over a Week
President-elect Donald Trump has released a video message on social media detailing his plans for the first 100 days of his presidency, including withdrawing from the Trans-Pacific Partnership on Day One, but staying mum on his signature immigration issue, building a wall on the southern border.

Trump, breaking precedent, has not yet held a press conference and has not answered ongoing questions surrounding potential conflicts of interest regarding his business and the presidency. He and his family sat for an interview with CBS News’ “60 Minutes” the Sunday after the election, but has since forgone any other opportunities to be questioned other than those shouted as visitors came and went from Trump National Golf Club last weekend.

“Our transition team is working very smoothly, efficiently and effectively. Truly great and talented men and women, patriots indeed, are being brought in and many will soon be a part of our government,” he says.

Trump goes on to discuss policies he championed during his candidacy; his intent to withdraw from the TPP, cancelling restrictions on coal and gas, ethics reform, as well as lobbying bans.

“On ethics reform, as part of our plan to drain the swamp, we will impose a five year ban of executive officials becoming lobbyists after they leave the administration. And a lifetime ban on executive officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government,” Trump said, reiterating a policy his transition team announced earlier this month.

He also addresses immigration, one of his hallmark policies during his candidacy. He proposes, not to build the wall he became infamous for suggesting he would construct, but instead an executive action to investigate visa abuse.

“On immigration, I will direct the department of labor to investigate all abuses of visas programs that undercut the American worker,” he adds.

The message follows a week of nearly back-to-back meetings as Trump's transition team tries to fill the over 4,000 jobs within the White House and government agencies. He has put his selection process on display; this weekend, at his estate in Bedminster, NJ, applicants entered into the clubhouse in full view of cameras. Before and after interviews Trump himself would come out and greet them, occasionally offering words of praise.

“Tremendous talent — we’re seeing tremendous talent,” Trump said Saturday. “People that, as I say, we will ‘make America great again.’ These are really great people. These are really, really talented people.”

And Monday Trump took meetings with several individuals including former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, former Sen. Scott Brown, and Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.

He only used the wall to hype up his crowds. It's amazing how people believe everything that comes out of these candidates. You would think they learned by now and forgot about the part of Mexico paying for it:lol:

here something that someone said when trump won

people dont know why trump won
The sheer level of insufferable arrogance from upper-middle class liberals that dominate Reddit discussion is a massive reason why.

A huge part of why nationalism (whether it's Trump or Brexit or populist parties Swedish Democrats in Sweden, Front Nationale in France, and others throughout Europe) is seeing such a surge in support is in opposition to the CONSTANT liberal circlejerking in the media and refusal to even consider that the working class isn't a bunch of idiotic, evil racists, but bases it's vote on real world experiences that they go through and rational self interest. They are sick and tired of sneering upper middle class liberals scaremongering about anybody who isn't part of the political establishment and being called racists for wanting to maintain a national sovereignty and set of values. They are sick and tired of being told they don't know whats best for them by young people who have never experienced Britain before the EU. People are sick and tired of ad hominems being the dominant form of discourse from the left whenever issues relating to protecting our national borders and culture come up. They are sick and tired of their acquaintances screaming on Facebook UNFRIEND ME IF YOU SUPPORT TRUMP YOU RACIST BIGOT. The entire mendacious edifice built around shaming people who dissent against the PC orthodoxy of cultural relativism and globalism is doing nothing but backfiring on the left all over the world, and will continue to do so.

The upper class journalism/media types who tend to lean left, and liberals in New York who don't see a problem with globalism are the types of people who aren't affected by it like the native working class. They get to live in gated communities and in expensive apartments surrounded by other upper-middle class liberals, and don't have to interact with those Muslim migrants who are completely unwilling to assimilate into Western culture like the working class who lives around them. They also aren't as affected by the complete gutting of industrial jobs, the massive increases in real estate prices completely pricing average Americans out of their home ownership or the huge pressure on the labor market and welfare system by lax immigration policies. It's easy to pat yourself on the back and circlejerk how cosmopolitan and tolerant you are for supporting virtue signalling policies when they don't directly affect you, and call everyone who dissents a bigot.

The multicultural utopian worldview would quickly collapse when faced with the reality that working class people deal with, and perhaps maybe then they wouldn't just dismiss their perfectly valid concerns. And maybe the left may start seeing the votes not constantly slip away into the arms of populists who at least listen to these concerns, instead of demonizing them.

And until all of the professional class elitists get their head out of their little bubble and get in touch with what matters to the common man, we will continue coming out to the voting booth and burning your entire globalist establishment to the fucking ground.
