Trump: ‘I Am a Free Trader’ But ... ‘Free Trade Is Terrible’ with Bad Leaders

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

"I am a free trader. But the problem with free trade is you need really talented people to negotiate for you. If you don't have talented people, if you don't have great leadership, if you don't have people that know business, not just political hacks that got the business because he got the job for making a political contribution to a campaign, which is how about all jobs are gotten, free trade is terrible. Free trade can be wonderful if you have smart people. But we have people that are stupid and not smart and we have people controlled by special interest and it is not going to work. Here is a couple stories that happened recently. A friend of mine is a great manufacturer. China comes over, dumping their stuff, I buy it because I have an obligation to buy it because they devalue their currency so brilliantly. They just did it recently. With all of the pros with Russia and everything they got away with it again. It is impossible for our people here to compete."
