Within hours of assuming power, Trump’s White House web site not only affirmed his intention to withdraw from the TPP. It placed that decision side-by-side with a demand for the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with Canada and Mexico, adding to the consternation in capitals around the Asia-Pacific, especially in Tokyo, Mexico City, Ottawa and Canberra.
WTF I love Donald Trump now.

If you point out that one of their fake Talmud quotes is fake and doesn't exist you get banned. If you point out that the Fed was created by WASP's to preserve British-American banking interests you get banned. If you point out the reichsmark was printed at interest under the Nazis you get banned. if you point out thay Hitler's economy was based on going to war and stealing resources like a nigger you get banned

WW2 especially the Pacific theater was largely induced by trade wars and economic disputes like the ones Trump is encouraging (Russia-Qatari oil conflict), (China-Japan-US S China Sea conflict)

He's not really encouraging it, East Asian nations have been practising suppressed consumption driven export policies and trade mercantilism for decades.
At the last round of major TPP talks the Japanese wanted exemptions for American rice in the domestic market because "Japanese people's intestines are longer than Americans". Similarly they've also pulled shenanigans with US skiing equipment claiming that it won't work on Japanese snow because Japanese snow is "different". Then you've got the whole history of Japanese governments selectively auditing countries that choose to pick too many foreign vendors. Not to mention the fact that the Chinese economy is still very much centrally directed (the huge uptick in auto exports a few years ago was because they forced a bunch of major auto manufacturers to consolidate). Then on top of that you've got use of the great firewall as a protectionist measure to protect domestic web services firms, to full on criminal tactics against foreign competitors who do make it through the firewall, to the absurd technology transfer deals they require, to the fact that when a foreign manufacturer does get an opportunity to sell into the Chinese market its with strings attached that make it basically worthless for any western or non-Chinese workforce (see; Shanghai Volkswagon basically having all of their value add occur over there) etc etc.
The notion the liberal media are peddling, that China is some new champion of free trade in lieu of the US is nonsense. China will always protect its industries in a way successive American administrations were too stupid to.

It's actually a pretty similar situation to run up to the depression, low interest rates, lots of money from the Fed being pumped into the market, even Hoover shares a lot of characteristics as Trump
